Not sure which of these you need?

Thirteen service names is a lot to read through when you just want the problem to stop. Find the sentence below that sounds most like your situation and it will take you straight to the right page.

“Our alarm or sprinkler system is offline and we have been told we need a fire watch tonight.” Emergency fire watch “Tools, copper or fuel are going missing from our jobsite overnight.” Construction site security “Our board or owners want a proper concierge at the front desk of the building.” Condominium security “We want a polished front-of-house presence, not a guard standing in a lobby.” Concierge security “Visitors walk into our offices and nobody signs anyone in.” Front desk security “Shrink is climbing and our closing staff do not feel safe.” Retail loss prevention “Our yard or unit gets walked through at night but a full-time guard is not worth it.” Mobile patrol “We need someone on site after hours at a warehouse, plaza or industrial property.” Commercial security “Residents are complaining about parking, noise and people in the building after dark.” Residential security “Our clinical staff are being confronted and need support on the floor.” Healthcare security “Our branch needs a consistent, presentable officer during banking hours.” Bank and branch security “Cars are being broken into and converters cut in our lot or parkade.” Parking lot security “The venue or our insurer says we need licensed guards before they will confirm.” Event security

The StandBy Advantage

Operational Standards That Protect Your Brand

We do not simply place bodies in uniforms. Our management team enforces rigorous operational procedures on every post.

Licensed under the PSISA

Every guard undergoes thorough background checks, vulnerable sector screening, and holds a verified Ontario security guard licence.

24/7 Hamilton Dispatch

Our central operations room operates around the clock, handling emergency deployments, alarm calls, and client inquiries without delay.

Checkpoint Verified Tours

Electronic wand checkpoints record that guards physically inspect all perimeter doors, mechanical rooms, and stairwells on schedule.

De-escalation Focused

Personnel are trained in Management of Aggressive Behaviour (MOAB) to resolve tense customer situations calmly and legally.

Included as standard

What you get on every contract, whichever service it is

These are not add-ons or upgrade tiers. They are the baseline, because a security contract without them is difficult to hold anybody to.

Post orders you approve first

Written for your site, with the duties, escalation contacts and patrol route spelled out. Nobody is scheduled until you have signed off on what the post actually does.

Unannounced supervisory visits

A field supervisor attends the post without warning and logs the visit. This is the single biggest difference between a supervised contract and a guard left alone for eight hours.

Electronic tour verification

Checkpoints tagged as they are reached, so rounds are time-stamped rather than taken on trust. You can see the route was walked and when.

Reports that arrive on time

A shift report for every shift and an incident report the same night anything happens. Insurers and property managers both want that trail, and it only exists if it is built daily.

Relief cover that is already rostered

Every agency loses shifts to illness. The difference is whether replacement staff are arranged before you notice or whether your post simply sits empty.

Licensing and insurance on request

Agency licence, individual guard licences, commercial general liability and WSIB coverage. Provided up front rather than after you chase for them.

Our Deployment Process

From initial assessment to on-site operational excellence.

1

Site Risk Assessment

We conduct an initial assessment of your property access points, vulnerabilities, operating hours, and specific guard post requirements.

2

Custom Post Orders

Our management team develops tailored Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), emergency action steps, and site protocols for deployed guards.

3

Field Deployment

Vetted, licensed guards report to your facility fully briefed. Electronic shift logging starts with the first shift.

4

24/7 Quality Supervision

Field supervisors perform scheduled and unannounced site inspections, ensuring strict adherence to post orders and performance standards.

Common Inquiries

Frequently Asked Questions

Key details about our security guard hiring process, contracts, and operational coverage.

Are StandBy Security guards licensed under Ontario law?

Yes. Every security guard and mobile patrol supervisor is fully licensed in Ontario under provincial regulations. Guards carry their valid provincial security license at all times while on duty.

What geographic areas do you cover from your Hamilton headquarters?

From our central operations desk at 175 Catharine St S in Hamilton, we deploy security personnel across Hamilton, Burlington, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Dundas, Niagara Falls, Welland, Grimsby, St. Catharines, Brantford, Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo.

Can you accommodate urgent same-day security guard requests?

Yes. Our 24/7 operations desk maintains active on-call dispatch capacity. For emergency requirements including fire watch, security breaches, alarm system failures, or property damage, guards can typically be on site within 1 to 2 hours (subject to location and availability).

How are guard patrols monitored and verified?

We utilize guard tour verification systems. Guards scan electronic checkpoints (NFC tags or barcodes) throughout your property. Detailed digital activity reports, timestamped incident summaries, and photos are automatically made available to property managers.
