Tennessee Security Guard Practice Exam

Which of the following would not apply in the Registrars opinion to decline the issuing of a security license to an applicant?

1. The applicant has no high school diploma

2. The applicant, an employee or agent of the applicant makes a false statement or provides a false statement in an application for a license or for a renewal of a license

3. The past conduct of the applicant or of an interested person in respect of the applicant affords reasonable grounds to believe that the applicant will not carry on business in accordance with the law and with integrity and honesty

4. A ground exists that is prescribed as a ground for which an application for the issuance or renewal of a license may be refused

The correct answer is: The applicant has no high school diploma

The correct answer is "The applicant has no high school diploma". In the context of the Ontario Security Guard License, eligibility is primarily determined by factors involving integrity, honesty, and adherence to the law. Educational achievements like a high school diploma, while they may help an applicant in their responsibilities as a security guard, are not necessary prerequisites for obtaining a license. This is because the focus of the licensing process is to ensure that the person is trustworthy, honest, and capable of carrying out their duties within the confines of the law - not their educational background. The other options involve making false statements, demonstrating previous conduct that indicates they may not carry out their duties legally and honestly, and existence of prescribed grounds for refusal - all of which would provide valid reasons for the registrar to decline issuing a security license.
