Security Company West Edmonton - Local Protection Residents Trust
A homeowner in the Callingwood neighbourhood, a few blocks from West Edmonton Mall, reported three attempted break-ins on her street within two months. After she contacted Canadian Shield Security through our homepage, we deployed nightly mobile patrols across her block. Incidents on that street dropped to zero for the following six months.
West Edmonton covers the T5T and T6M postcode areas, including Callingwood, Lessard, Terra Losa and the retail corridor along 170 Street near West Edmonton Mall.

SSIA Licensing and Compliance for West Edmonton Security
Under the Security Services and Investigators Act (Alberta), every security guard operating in West Edmonton must hold a valid SSIA licence issued by Alberta Justice. Canadian Shield Security confirms each guard's licence before assigning them to a Callingwood, Lessard or Terra Losa property.
The Justice and Solicitor General oversees SSIA licensing and enforcement across Alberta. You can review licensing requirements directly on Alberta's security service worker licence page.
For an active break-in or emergency in progress, always call the Edmonton Police Service first. Canadian Shield Security guards are SSIA-licensed professionals, but they do not replace police authority during a criminal incident. You can reach the Edmonton Police Service for non-emergency assistance at 780-423-4567.

Emergency alarm response and after-hours dispatch operate 24/7, with guards routed from patrols already active near Callingwood and the mall corridor.
Do you cover Callingwood and areas near West Edmonton Mall?
Yes. We actively patrol Callingwood North, Callingwood South, Lessard, Terra Losa and the retail strip along 170 Street near West Edmonton Mall. Our guards know the T5T and T6M postcode areas well.
