Enrolment in The Commissionaires follows a structured process designed to ensure candidates meet the requirements as a security guard and can fit into the culture of the Corps.

Offers of employment will be based on the needs of the Division and successful completion of all requirements listed in the process below.

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

Process

Step 1: Application forms may be obtained from this web site (see below), at our Divisional Office, in Victoria (928 Cloverdale Avenue), Monday to Friday between 0730 and 1500 hours or from one of the Regional Managers (see the contacts page).

If you wish to print a copy of the application click Personal Information Form  . However you must personally bring a copy of the completed application and Certificate of Service to the Divisional or Regional Office. To view and print PDF documentation you need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. Download the Adobe Acrobat Reader using the icon on the right.

Step 2: Following preliminary screening, applicants may be invited to an interview to confirm the details provided in the application and to determine suitability for employment.

Step 3: A current (within the past 3 months) Criminal Record Check is required. This can be obtained from your local police department or through the Division at the start of the course.

All applicants must successfully complete a minimum of ten days training prior to consideration for enrolment. This will ensure we continue to provide qualified, knowledgeable and effective personnel capable of meeting all government and industry security requirements.

We provide provincially mandated Basic Standards Training (BST) Level 1 and 2 courses, Conflict Control training (dealing with the public) and First Aid courses at our training facility which is accredited by the Justice Institute of BC.

All Commissionaire candidates will be assessed throughout the training programme for suitability and attitude and will be required to pass and score well in the examinations.

Step 4: Successful completion of a security clearance.

Step 5: Enrolment in the Corps.
