Yes. A contract is mandatory to engage our services and we will not send out security personnel to a project until a contract has been signed and authorized. Why? In Canada, a private security guard only has authority under section 494 (2) of the criminal code to protect property that is not owned by the guard. A client must grant our company and our agents (staff) authority to act as their owner-agents in order to safeguard their property and all assets and persons affiliated with the property. Even the police who have authority under section 494 ccc have an "AGENT" program where property owners sign over agent status to allow their officers access to the property without a warrant. A contract also covers many other legalities to protect both the client and our business in the unlikely event of a disagreement and it is relied upon by the courts, as well as the provincial security services and investigators act regulators. Any reputable and professional security company will require you to sign a contract.

While the majority of security companies only offer one level of security and "off the menu rates", we understand that each business faces unique security challenges and some may find security to be cost prohibitive. As experienced law enforcement professionals, we understand the importance of delivering customized security solutions that are proportionate to your security risks while working hard to deliver effective protection that is within your budget. Our security is designed to reduce the losses caused by crime and vagrancy while providing you a measurable return on your security investment. We offer multiple levels of security to choose from that best fit your needs and budget: BUDGET SECURITY: Our most affordable security option that is best suited for clients with very low crime or minimal security risks, but who require low-cost security to meet insurance requirements. LOW SECURITY: An affordable security service that is best suited for clients with little to no crime or security issues, but who want a security presence or night watchmen type of guard service for peace of mind. MEDIUM SECURITY: This is our most popular service that is preferred by discerning clients who genuinely care about their security program and who want to hire the best security in the industry. This level of security is suited for all risk levels and it provides a professional security presence that effectively reduces crime, protects persons and property and promotes a safe environment for your staff, residents/tenants and customers. HIGH SECURITY: Our highest level of security that is frequently chosen by government, transportation and energy clients to protect critical infrastructure, property managers, retailers and business owners who operate in high crime areas and to respond to labour disputes, civil unrest or to provide security and response to disasters.

Yes. We offer mobile patrol services that are delivered by experienced law enforcement officers and military personnel. Our mobile patrol officers have EVOC (emergency vehicle operators course) training combined with specialized, real-world experience that enables them to respond to and resolve any security challenge or emergency situation. All of our security patrol vehicles are new, professionally marked SUV 4x4's that are capable of patrolling or responding in any environment, regardless of weather or road conditions. Each unit is equipped with emergency lights (removable in accordance with provincial law), search lights, MWS (mobile work station computers), Cameras/GPS, fire suppression equipment, environmental spill kits, medical kits, traffic warning/control equipment and PPE. All mobile patrol services are quoted with rates that are based upon length of contract, type of patrols (designated or sporadic), number of locations you wish to have patrolled and distance between each site as well as the size of the area to be patrolled and the specific duties the officer is required to perform.

Mobile patrols, when performed properly by highly-trained, law enforcement experienced security officers, can be a valuable addition to a comprehensive security program. Mobile security patrols are beneficial when combined with other security measures such as on-site guards and professionally monitored cameras. However; the mobile patrol services that are provided by other security companies are ineffective, do not deter crime, nor offer clients a return on their security investment. This is due to many factors including, but not limited to; unqualified and inexperienced patrol guards, companies assigning hundreds of patrols per shift in too large an area (often the entire city and outlying towns) for their guards to rush through or not attend at all due to time constraints, combining alarm response with their assigned patrols, poor tactics and the use of low-end patrol cars that are designed to maximize their profits without offering any type of visible deterrence or security presence. We provide mobile patrol services that reduce crime and are catered to meet the specific needs of our clients. Each patrol officer and unit are designated to a patrol district where they are usually assigned to one client. Often as a supplemental security service or emergency response program to support on-site security guards at large development projects, construction sites, shopping centres, shipping/warehouse facilities, pipelines and energy project sites or to service management companies who have multiple residential and commercial properties. Our patrol services are also offered to condo boards, gated communities, estate communities are rural towns.
