Do you handle both armed and unarmed work in Calgary?

The vast majority of our Calgary deployments are unarmed licensed officers, which meets almost every commercial, residential, and event use case. Armed work (when legally permissible) is available for specific high-risk executive protection details on written request.

What insurance do you carry for Calgary work?

Guardian Shield maintains $25M General Liability, provincial WSIB/WCB compliance, and site-specific certificate delivery on demand — often within the same business day for Calgary clients.

Can you cover multiple Calgary sites under one contract?

Yes. Multi-site portfolios in Calgary are managed by a single account manager, with consolidated occurrence reports, one invoice, and one 24/7 point of contact for escalations across every site you operate.

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.

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.

Security in Calgary.

Every Calgary contract we take begins with a walk-through. We do not price security in Alberta from behind a desk. Our regional supervisors visit the site, interview stakeholders, and design a program specific to the energy capital character of Calgary before a single quote is issued.

§ Local Approach

How we work in Calgary.

The Guardian Shield Calgary team is small enough to know every site personally and large enough to backstop shift coverage without notice. That balance is what most Alberta agencies never quite achieve.

Response geometry matters in Calgary. Our patrol routes were designed by mapping every property we cover onto Calgary's road network and then optimising by expected alarm frequency. The result: no vehicle is more than ten minutes from any client site.

Our two most-requested Calgary service lines are alarm response and cannabis / dispensary security — deployed across commercial, residential and industrial sites throughout the Alberta region.

§ Why Calgary chooses us

Standards, on paper.

Locally recruited officers who live in Calgary — not commuting in for four-hour shifts from an hour away.

Provincial Alberta licensing verified in-house; every officer's file audited before deployment.

Sub-10 minute urban response — measured, recorded, and reported to you monthly.
