Schools that provide substandard security and investigator training in Ontario will soon be subject to police and provincial investigation if they don't comply with new provincial rules.
The new rules, announced Thursday by Rick Bartolucci, minister of community safety and correctional services, come just months after two Star investigations revealed major problems with the province's licensing procedures.
The investigations showed lax rules were resulting in poorly trained guards and investigators and allowing unregistered security academies to offer subpar training to would-be guards.
In September, a Star reporter revealed that, despite five-year-old legislation calling for mandatory training, almost anyone could become a licensed security guard or private investigator in the province for $80 – no training required.
