Update on the
Security Services and Investigators Act


Bill 10 (Security Services and Investigators Act) was introduced during the spring of 2008 in the Legislature to replace the Private Investigators and Security Guards Act.

The proposed legislation creates a level playing field for the security industry, provides a public complaint process and will provide standards for the industry.

On November 20 2008, during the ASIS 162 Luncheon, MLA Rob Anderson provided an overview of the new legislation and received many questions and suggestions from the attendees who work in the security industry; they also expressed many concerns.

MLA Anderson committed himself to bring all those questions, suggestions and concerns to the attention of the Legislature for its consideration and do a new presentation were he would discuss about the revised Bill.

This presentation will be done during the luncheon on the 19th of November 2009, however, as Rob Anderson is no longer the serving MLA dealing with the Security Services and Investigators Act, the speaker providing us with the promised update to the status of the Legislation will be Matthew Barker.
