Because individual licences expire on the licensee’s birthday, this information is private and cannot be published.
Employers of licensed individuals should maintain their own internal records, which may include licence numbers and licence expiry dates.
Any violation of the PSISA or its regulations is considered a punishable offence under the Private Security and Investigative Service Act, 2005.
Police officers and Provincial Offences officers have the option of issuing tickets for certain violations under Part I of the Provincial Offences Act. A list of applicable offences and the associated fines is available online.
A ticket may not be issued in every case. Offenders who receive tickets still have the option of fighting charges in court, and police officers still have the discretionary authority to require offenders to attend court.
If a security guard or private investigator is convicted of an offence, the penalty is a fine of up to $25,000, imprisonment for up to one year, or both. For agencies and registered employers, the maximum fine is $250,000.
In the event of an alleged infraction, the liability could fall to the individual, the employer, or both.
