If a guard is convicted of a crime that is related to their duties, what happens to their registration?

When a guard is convicted of a crime that is related to their duties, their registration is automatically suspended. This is a key aspect of maintaining integrity and trust in the private security profession. The suspension serves as a regulatory measure to ensure that individuals who may pose a risk to public safety due to their criminal behavior are temporarily removed from their position.

This automatic suspension allows for a review of the circumstances surrounding the conviction and the guard's ability to continue in their role responsibly. Moreover, it underscores the importance of ethical standards within security services, which are critical for upholding the law and maintaining public confidence in security personnel. The suspension process also reflects the broader legal framework that governs security operations, ensuring that all registered guards uphold the necessary standards of conduct.
