HR11(1) Statement Regarding Security Training

Print This Page

ABSU Security Services Investigators are ex-police officers and as such have had training in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and Security. They give evidence in court on a regular basis which keeps them up to date on Charter issues. They must all be provincially-licenced Private Investigators. BC Hydro's Trades Training instructors supply mandatory safety training to all new hires in Security Services before investigators are allowed in the field.

Part of the curriculum for licensed security guard personnel covers the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. BC Hydro's security guard service provider requires an additional orientation course that has modules in Equal Employment Opportunities, General and Sexual Harassment, Complaint Procedures, Policy for Handling Concerns, and Guidelines for Appropriate Conduct. These policies are compliant with governing legislation and are consistent with industry Best Practices. Also, remedial training covering "Diversity in the Work Place" is occasionally offered as response to substantiated complaints against specific officers.
