Once you receive your security license you will be allowed to carry both handcuffs and a baton

True
False

The correct answer is: False

In Ontario, while a security guard can legally carry handcuffs and use them in special circumstances, they are not allowed to carry a baton. The use of a baton requires substantial training and is subject to inherent legal and safety risks. In Ontario, batons are considered to be a prohibited weapon under the Criminal Code, so a security guard carrying a baton could face criminal charges. Therefore, the statement "Once you receive your security license you will be allowed to carry both handcuffs and a baton" is false because a security guard in Ontario is not permitted to carry a baton, even if they have a security license.
