Who must a security guard present identification to when asked?

A peace office or justice of the peace
The client, supervisor or official from the contract company employing the Guard
Any member of the public who asks the guard to present it
Appointed inspectors or investigators working for the Private Security and Investigative Services Branch

The correct answer is: Any member of the public who asks the guard to present it

The correct answer is that a security guard must present identification to the client, supervisor, or official from the contract company employing the guard. This ensures that the guard is held accountable and can be verified by those with authority or responsibility over their employment. Identification serves as a means of confirming the guard's role and affiliation with the security provider, maintaining professionalism and trust in security operations. While it is essential for security personnel to act professionally and may choose to engage with the public, they are not generally required to present identification to any member of the public. This maintains boundaries in the security context and prevents potential misuse of the guard's identification. Presenting identification to law enforcement officials or appointed inspectors is important but is not the primary obligation in day-to-day operations.
