Our method

The method of the Agent de sécurité Québec editorial team: where the figures come from, how articles are checked and what the site never does.

Updated on October 15, 2026.

Who writes

Agent de sécurité Québec is an independent information site. It is not affiliated with the Bureau de la sécurité privée, the Comité paritaire des agents de sécurité, or any agency or school. Its articles are signed by the Agent de sécurité Québec editorial team.

Official sources only

Figures and rules come from authoritative texts: laws and regulations on LégisQuébec and the Justice Canada website, the Bureau de la sécurité privée and its register, the Comité paritaire des agents de sécurité, the CNESST, Québec.ca, Inforoute FPT and Canada.ca. When no official source gives a figure, the article says so instead of making one up.

The media are not used as sources. No newspaper article is reproduced.

Every figure is dated

A salary, a rate or a rule changes over time. Each article states the version of the source used or the date it was consulted. The list of sources, with their links, is at the bottom of every article and every guide.

The real questions readers ask

The frequently asked questions at the bottom of articles are the ones people actually ask Google, used word for word. The answer is a few sentences long and relies on the same sources as the article.

What the site does not do

Agent de sécurité Québec gives no legal advice and no physical intervention technique. It does not replace legal advice, BSP-recognized training or your agency's instructions. At work, the law, the decree and your employer's rules are what count.
