While working as a security guard, what authority must be given priority?

Federal and Provincial Law
Trespass to Property Act
The security company policy and guidelines
The client’s demands

The correct answer is: Federal and Provincial Law

Security guards, like all individuals and professions in Canada, are primarily governed by Federal and Provincial laws. Federal and Provincial laws are the highest legal authorities in Canada and everyone is bound by these laws irrespective of their professions or roles. If a situation arises where these laws conflict with any other form of authority, such as a company's policy guidelines or a client's demands, the laws take precedence. Therefore, a security guard must prioritize obeying and performing their duties within these laws over any other obligations. Hence, the Federal and Provincial laws must be given priority. If a security guard did not prioritize these laws, they would be committing a legal offence.
