Question: An individual applies for a Security Guard Licence in Alberta. Which of the following factors would most likely lead to the denial of their application under the SSIA?

Answer options: ✅ A conviction for assault within the last five years.

• Having been issued a speeding ticket five months prior.
• A history of volunteer work at a local community center.
• Previous employment in retail security without a licence.

Correct answer: A conviction for assault within the last five years.

Explanation: The SSIA and its regulations specify that an applicant may be refused a licence if they have been convicted of an offence that would make them unsuitable to hold a licence, particularly those involving violence or dishonesty, within a certain timeframe. A speeding ticket or volunteer work would not typically disqualify an applicant.
