What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a Manitoba Security Guard Licence?

The minimum age requirement to apply for a Manitoba Security Guard Licence is 18 years old. This age requirement is in place to ensure that applicants have reached a legal age where they can be responsible for security duties, which often involve significant authority and decision-making in potentially high-stress situations. By setting the age at 18, the regulations also align with the legal age of adulthood in many contexts, thereby ensuring that candidates can be held fully accountable for their actions as security personnel.
