Local Experience
Security Company in Edmonton — Built on Local Trust
A commercial property manager overseeing three office buildings in the T5J Downtown Edmonton district called Canadian Shield Security after a string of after-hours break-ins went unresolved. Within 90 days of deploying licensed mobile patrols, incidents dropped and tenants reported feeling safer.
That is the standard every security company Edmonton property owners hire should be judged against. Canadian Shield Security is a local, SSIA-licensed provider protecting homes, businesses, construction sites, and industrial facilities across Edmonton and the surrounding region. Explore our full range of security services or request a free consultation today.
We built this company around one idea. Edmonton properties deserve protection from people who actually know the city, not a national call centre reading from a script. Every guard on our roster lives and works in the Edmonton region, understands local traffic patterns, and has patrolled through an Alberta winter.

Licensed under Alberta law
Professional Standards
Verify Alberta Licensing Requirements
SSIA Licensing and Compliance
Under the Security Services and Investigators Act (Alberta), every security guard, alarm responder, or patrol officer in Edmonton must hold a valid licence. The Government of Alberta issues and oversees these licences through its Security Programs department. Canadian Shield Security guards complete accredited training, pass the provincial licensing exam, and undergo a police information check before deployment.
Licensing is overseen by the Justice and Solicitor General's Security Programs department. You can verify licensing requirements directly at alberta.ca/security-service-worker-licence.
For active criminal incidents on your property, always contact Edmonton Police Service first. Canadian Shield Security guards are SSIA-licensed but do not replace police authority.
