Who must a Security Guard present identification to when asked?

A peace office or justice of the peace
The client, supervisor or official from the contract company employing the Guard
Any member of the public who asks the Guard to present it
Appointed inspectors or investigators working for the Private security and Investigative Services Branch

The correct answer is: Any member of the public who asks the Guard to present it

The correct answer is that a security guard must present identification to any member of the public who asks the guard to present it. As public-facing professionals, security guards are legally obligated to provide proof of their licensure when asked by anyone. This law is meant to enhance transparency and accountability in the security industry, facilitate public trust, and promote the safety of individuals who interact with security personnel. So, in the event a member of the public requests to see a security guard's identification, they are required to present it promptly.
