Security Bureau (BSP).
Yes. On the other hand, it is according to the rules issued by the Public Security Bureau
(BSP). That means you will not be able to work in all environments and the BSP decides the
periods during which it issues temporary licenses. The BSP does not provide licenses at all
times, so the regular license is more advantageous.
Yes. That said, it is not uncommon for people to retire after long years in the industry. In
addition, there are many opportunities to reach higher positions. First of all, there are several
specializations in security; event security (events, bars, restaurants, museums, etc.), access
control in all types of buildings, condominiums, schools, industrial security, bodyguarding
and many more. A security guard can become a supervisor, then a patroller to visit several
sites with the company vehicle. The patroller can move into employee management by
becoming a dispatcher, or into contract management as an account manager. Last but not
least, there are other opportunities for higher positions as a coordinator or director. Finally, it
is very common for officers to apply as customs officers or for the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.

No. Until the early 2000s, that was indeed a criteria, but it no longer is. However, you have to
be in good physical shape. It is not uncommon for some positions to require patrolling
buildings or standing for long hours. The most important aspects include having excellent
customer service, good self-control, and an alert and preventative mind.
Security is 24 hours a day. You give your availability. The more you put in, the more
opportunities you will have. It is possible to work shifts of 8 and 12 hours, but at least 4 hours
per shift.
