How quickly can you start a firewatch security contract?

For most firewatch security engagements we can be on-site within 48–72 hours of a signed proposal. Emergency deployments (e.g. sprinkler-outage fire watch, sudden alarm-response coverage) are often possible the same day.

Do you scale firewatch security to multi-site portfolios?

Yes. National portfolios receive a dedicated account manager, single-invoice billing, and consolidated reporting across every site — from a single storefront to a coast-to-coast footprint.

Is Guardian Shield licensed to operate in Calgary?

Yes. Guardian Shield holds a current provincial security services licence in Alberta and every officer deployed in Calgary carries a personal licence, verified in-house on hire and annually thereafter.

What's the fastest you can start a contract in Calgary?

For standard commercial or residential work in Calgary, we can typically place officers on-site within 48–72 hours of a signed proposal. Emergency deployments (fire watch, sudden vacancy of an existing agency) can be same-day, subject to shift availability.

Do you provide bilingual officers in Calgary?

Bilingual (EN/FR) staffing is available in every market. Additional languages are recruited to demand — Mandarin, Punjabi, Spanish, Tagalog and others are represented in our Calgary officer roster where client sites need them.
