The CA🍁SP Watchdog chronicles the known death of all the security guards.
- From 2000 to 2019, there was ONE security guard killed while on duty in Canada.
- From 2020 to 2025, there has been SEVEN security guards killed while on duty.
Why? Security guards are increasingly being assigned duties that were formerly police duties: bylaw enforcement, transit enforcement, community patrols, evictions, etc. For all of these duties, there is no requirement for additional training of the security guards. This is a massive liability that should be addressed BEFORE more security guards are killed.
