Can a Saskatchewan security guard arrest someone for trespassing?

Not under the Trespass to Property Act. Section 12 gives that arrest power to peace officers. A guard can ask the person to leave and call police. A guard's arrest powers come from section 494 of the Criminal Code.

Can Saskatchewan security guards carry handcuffs or batons?

Only if they are trained in the equipment and the registrar has been notified in writing of the equipment and the duty. Firearms and imitation firearms are never allowed.

Do I have to report a use of force in Saskatchewan?

Yes. Section 41 of the licensing Act requires a report to the registrar of any incident involving the use of force or another unusual intervention, made on Form E.

هل الشهادة معتمدة أو معترف بها رسميًا؟

لا. إنها شهادة إتمام خاصة للمعرفة فقط. وهي غير معترف بها أو معتمدة أو موافق عليها من أي حكومة أو جهة ترخيص أو هيئة تنظيمية أو مؤسسة تعليمية، ولا تحل محل أي رخصة أو شهادة أو تدريب يفرضه القانون.
