sec.70 Information security guard to record in security guard’s register
The information a security guard must record, in the security guard’s register, under section 126A of the Act is as follows— the guard’s name and licence number; the weapon’s serial number; the date and time the guard took physical possession of the weapon; the date and time the guard placed the weapon in the guard’s secure storage facilities; if the weapon was fired while in the guard’s physical possession—the name of the person (if known) at whom, or the thing at which, the weapon was fired, and the reason for firing; if the weapon left the guard’s physical possession during the time the weapon was away from the guard’s secure storage facilities— how the weapon came to leave the guard’s physical possession; and any information the guard has about the weapon’s possession or use while out of the guard’s physical possession. If the information is about— taking physical possession of the weapon—the information must be recorded when the guard takes physical possession of the weapon; or anything else—the information must be recorded as soon as practicable after the guard stops performing the security guard duties that reasonably necessitated the weapon’s physical possession by the guard.
