常见问题
Can a security guard arrest a trespasser in Manitoba?
Not under the Trespass Act, which no longer has an arrest power. A guard can ask the person to leave and call police, and may arrest only under section 494 of the Criminal Code, delivering the person to police promptly.
What is the trespass law in Manitoba?
The Trespass Act, C.C.S.M. c. T156, formerly The Petty Trespasses Act. Some places, such as construction sites and enclosed or posted land, need no warning; elsewhere, staying after being asked to leave is an offence.
Can Manitoba guards wear badges?
Only as part of a uniform the Registrar has approved. On duty, your licence and approved uniform are the only evidence of authority you may have or display.
What must I report to the Registrar?
Any criminal charge or conviction, and any change of your address for service, within 15 days.
