Security professionals’ best work often goes undetected. When we excel, nothing dramatic happens. And so, it’s sometimes a struggle to prove the value of traditional protection services.
Imagine a business owner who reviews two consecutive years without incidents related to crime on their premises. A thrifty person might choose to reduce security investments. But that’s when trouble starts. A rise in incidents inspires a new security program, which takes more effort to launch than to maintain. Western Canada Security helps clients avoid a reactionary, yo-yo-like security cycle. Effective and highly visible, our guards, patrollers, and responders create an active, positive presence at the sites they monitor and protect.
In our view, this stereotype seems outdated: a tough-guy security officer with sunglasses on, arms folded, and a stern, statuesque demeanor. When you envision someone in a Western Canada Security uniform, picture a friendly wave and a smile. Our guards see themselves as helpful neighbours, not authority figures. Every time they go out of their way to make someone’s day better, they make life safer for everyone. In other words, positivity is our first line of defense. This positive, caring approach to protection services supports physical safety, prevents loss and damage. It also helps make the job of a security officer enjoyable. No surprises here: security professionals who engage with the community are responsive to its needs.
