Security professionals are governed by Canada’s legal system in the same manner as everyone else; the rights you have as an individual are the same rights you are expected to protect when watching out for other persons and their property. This module will examine those rights, as well as the legal authorities and limitations which apply to you in your work as a security professional. You will also look at the application of force in your regular duties and your responsibilities and accountabilities when you do so.

Finally, you will study various pieces of legislation under which security professionals must frequently act.
