British Columbia Basic Security Training Practice Exam

In general the only time that Security Guards will be engaged in enforcement activities that fall under the Provincial Offenses Act is when they are licensed under specified municipalities to assist in the enforcement of parking violations

1. True

2. False

3. Situational

4. Unknown

The correct answer is: True

In Ontario, security guards indeed engage in enforcement activities under the Provincial Offenses Act, but only in certain conditions. One of the key situations when this comes into play is when they are licensed under specified municipalities to assist in the enforcement of parking violations. This is because parking enforcement falls within their jurisdiction, as their role often involves monitoring and enforcing rules in specific areas or properties. This is a distinct area of their job, separate from their general duties of observing, deterring and reporting incidents. Thus, the statement in the question is true.
