If the security guard has made an arrest

In Ontario, a security guard can only use handcuffs if they have made a citizen's arrest, which is governed by the Criminal Code of Canada. This authority comes under Section 494(2) of the Criminal Code, which states that anyone may arrest a person whom they find committing an indictable offence or they believe, on reasonable grounds, has committed a criminal offence. However, they must follow the three legal prerequisites: the security guard must have reasonable grounds to make the arrest, they must turn over the individual to the police as soon as possible, and they must use no more force than is necessary. This content underscores why the answer "If the security guard has made an arrest" is correct.

Only after the security has used their baton
