COMMISSIONAIRES PROFESSIONAL SECURITY GUARDING SERVICES
NEEDS WE FILL
Tell us what you need. We’re the experts in all types of guarding. Whatever your security protection needs, whether they are specific—Concierge Security, Mobile Patrol or Alarm Response or general guarding—we’ve got you covered. Maybe you need to supplement your own security services, or outsource all of your business security requirements. Whatever the case, our commissionaires are adaptable and experienced. We can also train our people on your equipment and technology. You can hire commissionaires to work 24/7, full-time and part-time, or for a specific event. In a public-facing role, or to work behind the scenes.
Each commissionaire is fidelity-bonded and has been security cleared as well as security licensed. Our commissionaires have also been trained in exceptional customer service practices. That means they can be a personable face to the public while maintaining a security presence. You can be confident that your people and business assets are in good hands with Commissionaires.
And not only that, our people turn up looking their best. The Commissionaires BC uniform ensures our people look highly presentable in their security role. It also gives them a sense of pride, symbolizing the integrity and commitment with which they do their jobs.
GET THE BEST
What can experienced and better-trained guards do for you?
Expect more from your security guard services. Get guards who are trained for more than the bare minimum. Our guards, made up of many former military and RCMP of all ages, bring their front-line experience to current roles. We hire people of all ages, with a variety of backgrounds to ensure a robust workforce. And before they are fitted with a Commissionaires’ uniform, they are trained to the highest standards by our trusted training partner, Lexxon Training.
Each commissionaire in the field has met not only the provincial requirement for security training, but has also been held to a higher pass rate, and has been trained to the highest standard of the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB). We also offer every commissionaire customer service excellence and first aid training so we’re sure they’ll be prepared for anything.
LEADERSHIP
Strong leadership is your ticket to exceptional client service.
Our strong track record and seasoned management team is your assurance that you’ll have not only the best security protection, but exceptional client service too. Our senior managers take a hands-on approach to client relations and site management, backing up our guards 24/7. So our practices and protocols flow through at every level, ensuring things run tightly and smoothly on your site.
