Under what act are security professionals in Alberta licensed?

  1. Security Services and Investigators Act

  2. Public Security and Protection Act

  3. Professional Security Licensing Act

  4. Alberta Protection Services Act

The correct answer is: Security Services and Investigators Act

The security professionals in Alberta are licensed under the Security Services and Investigators Act. This act was established to regulate the licensing and conduct of security professionals in the province of Alberta. Option B, the Public Security and Protection Act, focuses on emergency management and disaster response, rather than licensing security professionals. Option C, the Professional Security Licensing Act, does not exist and may have been a distractor choice. Option D, the Alberta Protection Services Act, also does not exist and may have been a distractor choice as well. Overall, the Security Services and Investigators Act is the most relevant and accurate choice for this question.
