While working as a security guard working on a private property, on whose authority are you enforcing the rules on the site?

Federal and Provincial Law
Local police forces
Trespass to property act
As an agent of the owner of the company

The correct answer is: As an agent of the owner of the company

When you are working as a security guard on private property, your authority to enforce rules on the site comes from being an agent of the owner of the company or property. This means that your role is based on the authority that has been delegated to you by the owner of the property. It is the owner who sets the rules that are to be upheld on the property, and these rules are often specified in contracts or guidelines. As a security guard, your job is to ensure that these rules are followed. It's not directly about federal or provincial law, local police forces, or the Trespass to Property Act, though these can all be relevant to your obligations. Your main function is to fulfill the needs of the property owner who has hired you.
