Who is responsible for investigating criminal or provincial offenses occurring on a site?

The police are responsible for investigating criminal or provincial offenses that occur on a site. This is due to their authority and jurisdiction to enforce the law, conduct investigations, and apprehend individuals suspected of criminal activity. Police officers have the training, resources, and legal mandates designed for such investigations, allowing them to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and collaborate with other law enforcement agencies if necessary.

While a security guard may have a role in observing and reporting incidents, their authority is limited to maintaining safety and security, detaining suspects until law enforcement arrives, and protecting property. The property owner can also report incidents to the police but does not conduct formal investigations. Community members may assist by providing information but do not take on investigative responsibilities. Thus, the police are clearly designated as the primary body responsible for these investigations.
