The maximum fine, if convicted, under the PSISA for a security guard is

  1. $2000

  2. $10,000

  3. $25,000

  4. $350,000

The correct answer is: $25,000

Under the Private Security and Investigative Services Act (PSISA) in Ontario, if a security guard is convicted for an offence, the maximum monetary penalty or fine that can be imposed on an individual convict is $25,000. This is the highest amount stipulated by the Act, demonstrating the severity and importance of complying with the regulations set out under the PSISA. The potential financial impact of such a penalty serves as a deterrent for misconduct or violation of the Act. Therefore, the penalty stated in the other options, although significant, are not correct as they do not match the maximum fine as per the PSISA.
