Which of the following would not be a “Peace Officer”

Police
Customers Officer
Special Constable
Security Guard

The correct answer is: Security Guard

In the context of the Ontario Security Guard License practice test, a Peace Officer is a public official appointed for the maintenance of law and order, such as a police officer, a customs officer or a special constable as referenced in the Criminal Code of Canada. A security guard, while responsible for protecting people and property, does not have the same powers or status as a Peace Officer. Security guards do not have the power to arrest beyond a citizen's arrest, cannot carry firearms unless they are also sworn peace officers, and do not have the same legal protections as peace officers. This distinction is important in legal contexts and for understanding the roles and powers of various personnel in law enforcement and public safety situations. Hence, amongst the options, a security guard would not be a “Peace Officer”.
