Veelgestelde vragen

Any crew member who carries a firearm needs a firearms licence and an Authorization to Carry. This course is background knowledge only.

Yes. Since July 1, 2024, they must have a compliance program, verify clients, keep records for 5 years, and report large cash and suspicious transactions.

Do not get involved. Keep yourself and others safe, call 911 when it is safe, note what you see, and give your notes to police.

Only if your post orders say so. The crew follows its own procedures; your job is usually to keep the area clear, stay alert and report anything unusual.
