How quickly can you start an alarm response contract?

Do you scale alarm response 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 Saanich?

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