According to the regulations, who is the owner of the memo book you complete while on duty?

  1. The Security Guard completing the notes

  2. The security company you work for

  3. The client for the property contracting security services

  4. The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services

The correct answer is: The security company you work for

The memo book that a security guard completes while on duty is considered to be the property of the security company for which they work. It's important to note that while the security guard is responsible for populating the memo book with notes and observations, they do not own the book. The reason for this is because the information within it is often used for reporting, audit, legal and other official purposes by the employer. After all, the security guard is acting under the license and contract of the security company, therefore, any notes or reports made in the execution of their duties are also the property of that company. This is applicable in most cases, barring any specifically different arrangements made in the guarding contract.
