Welcome to the Bureau de la sécurité privée website
The National Assembly of Quebec passed the Private Security Act which came fully into force on July 22nd, 2010.
This new Act represents a major reform of the private security industry and follows a long period of reflection and exchange between the people of the private security industry and the Ministère de la sécurité publique (MSP).
The new Act replaces the Act Respecting Detective or Security Agencies which dated from 1962. It requires that any individual who carries on private security activities in Quebec, must now hold an agent licence. It also requires that any person who operates a business providing one or more private security activity must hold an agency licence of the appropriate class for the activities offered.
The Private Security Act applies to six distinct class of private security activities, which are: security guarding, investigation, locksmith work, electronic security systems, transport of valuables and security consulting.
