Security personnel can arrest a person if:

  1. The person is committing a summary conviction offence related to property guarded by the SP

  2. The person is breaking a municipal bylaw

  3. The person is committing an indictable or dual offence

  4. (a) and (c)

The correct answer is: (a) and (c)

The correct answer encompasses both situations where security personnel have the authority to arrest a person. When a person is committing a summary conviction offence related to property guarded by the security personnel, it allows the security guard to act on behalf of the property owner to prevent further damage or theft. This is crucial for the safeguarding of the premises and enforcing property rights. Additionally, if a person is committing an indictable or dual offence, security personnel have the authority to intervene and make an arrest as well. Indictable offences are generally more serious than summary offences and may include crimes such as assault or robbery, where immediate intervention is often necessary to prevent further harm. Understanding these contexts is important for security personnel to effectively carry out their duties while adhering to legal protocols. This combination of scenarios highlights the scope of authority they possess in maintaining order at their designated posts.
