REQUIREMENTS:

Post secondary education in law and security, with a minimum 1-year experience in security or law enforcement, or a military background. Alternatively, Ontario Secondary School Graduation Diploma with the desire to complete a correspondence course in Law and Security may be considered.
Mandatory Private Security and Investigative Services Act (PSISA) training and testing will be required to become licensed as a Security Guard.
Current Advanced First Aid, AED, and CPR certificate.
Comfortable working with various modes of communication (radio transmission, video monitors, security alarms).
Aptitude and ability to learn and participate in various training programs (e.g. WHMIS, Explosive Recognition, Transportation of Dangerous Goods, Spill Response, etc.).
Good computer skills and familiarity with Microsoft products (Word, Excel, Outlook etc.).
