Security Services Across Ontario.

Licensed under the Ontario Private Security and Investigative Services Act (PSISA). Serving every Ontario municipality with 24/7 dispatch, GPS-verified reporting, and Indigenous-owned CCIB-certified operations.

Ontario is Canada's largest private-security market by both officer count and enterprise procurement volume. The province's regulated PSISA framework, combined with mature municipal-police relationships and a concentrated Class-A office market in Toronto, makes it the most competitive — and most professionally-run — security jurisdiction in the country.

PROVINCIAL LICENSING

Ontario Private Security and Investigative Services Act (PSISA)

Every private security officer in Ontario must hold a valid PSISA licence issued by the Ministry of the Solicitor General. Licensing includes a mandatory 40-hour training program, First Aid / CPR-C, criminal-record clearance, and a passing score on the provincial exam.

Police-of-jurisdiction across Ontario: Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and municipal police services. Every Ontario scope we deliver is coordinated with the applicable police service — municipal, provincial, or RCMP — as the situation requires.

Baseline officer wage floor in Ontario: $18.50–$28.00 per hour depending on shift pattern, licensing level, and post complexity. Rates vary by post complexity, shift pattern, licensing tier, and geographic remoteness.

CHALLENGES

What makes Ontario different

GTA competition drives price pressure — quality suffers when contracts are awarded on cost alone.

Northern Ontario's fly-in mining and Indigenous-community operations demand distinct capabilities.

Ottawa's federal-precinct market has clearance and security-of-supply expectations no other Canadian city carries.
