Dear SSIA Stakeholder:
Re: Security Services and Investigators Regulatory Review
On June 1, 2010, the Security Services and Investigators Act (Act) and supporting Regulations
were brought into force. This important piece of legislation allows the Government of Alberta to
license businesses and individuals engaged in the broad industry of security and investigative
services.
The Security Services and Investigators Act has been responsible for significant successes in the
areas of enhanced service delivery, creation of a unique visual identity through uniform/vehicle
standardization, a new commonality of best practices and processes, introduction of mandatory
training programs, and more cohesive interaction protocols with the Public Security Division.
These successes have helped deliver on the Government of Alberta’s goal to ensure minimum
standards of training, accountability, and professionalism within the industry.
An important part of the regulatory process was the inclusion of an expiry date of March 31,
2015, for the Security Services and Investigators Regulation and Security Services and
Investigators (Ministerial) Regulation to ensure these documents would be closely examined and
where necessary, changed to better reflect the needs of Albertans and industry stakeholders.
As Registrar for the Act, I am asking for the security industry’s input prior to consultation
meetings. Enclosed is a discussion guide that has been developed to give more information about
the approach and to focus discussion on some of the key questions.
Please provide your feedback by May 12, 2014, as it will assist us in addressing this important
issue. Stakeholder consultation sessions will be held from May 26 to June 6, 2014, in Edmonton,
Red Deer and Calgary. Please visit www.securityprograms.alberta.ca for the schedule and to
reserve spaces or call 1-877-462-0791.
Sincerely,
Sean Bonneteau
Registrar
Security Services and Investigator Act
