A Security Guard Company Built Around Your Site

Regal Security® provides security guard services across Toronto and the GTA from our head office in Mississauga. Every guard we deploy holds a valid Ontario security guard licence, as provincial law requires, and works under Regal Security Inc.'s agency licence #118836, which you can check in the Ontario public registry.

We don't send a body to fill a shift. We assess your property, write post orders around the way it actually runs, and match guards to it. Our Everyday Superheroes™ are trained to welcome people and to deter, detect, prevent and respond. Our customer service team is there for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Looking for a security company in Toronto for more than guarding? See all our services.

People and training

Carefully Selected, Trained Beyond the Licence

Safety, careful recruitment and guard satisfaction are at the core of our mission, because a guard who is well chosen, well trained and well supported does a better job at your site.

  • Selection. We carefully select people who bring professionalism, care and good judgement to every post.
  • Licensing. Every guard holds a valid provincial licence and must carry it on duty and show it on request.
  • Orientation. Beyond the mandatory provincial training, Regal guards complete an orientation on workplace violence, WHMIS, incident reporting, the Trespass to Property Act and customer service, followed by 16 hours of supervised on-the-job field training.
  • Ongoing courses. First aid, fire safety, use of force, verbal judo (de-escalation), customer service and supervisor training through the Regal Security® Training Academy, a registered training facility.
  • Inclusion. Regal Security® is certified in We Create Space LGBTQ+ Inclusion training.

Questions

Security Guard Services FAQ

Or call 1 (888) 633-8550 to speak with our team.

How much do security guard services cost in Toronto?

Cost depends on the number of guards, hours of coverage, the site and the duties involved. Overnight, weekend and holiday coverage and specialized training can also affect the rate. Request a quote or call 1 (888) 633-8550 for pricing for your property.

Are your security guards licensed?

Yes. In Ontario, every guard holds an individual security guard licence under the Private Security and Investigative Services Act, and Regal Security Inc. holds agency licence #118836. In BC, Regal Security (B.C.) Inc. is licensed under the Security Services Act. Guards carry their licence on duty and show it on request.

What types of properties do you protect?

Condominiums and residential buildings, commercial offices, retail and shopping centres, healthcare facilities, construction sites, industrial sites and airports.

Can I see what my guards are doing?

Yes. Regal uses Kovrra, a security ERP, and every client has a Kovrra portal that shows live guard GPS locations and time-stamped clock-ins and clock-outs for every shift.

What training do Regal security guards have?

Every guard completes the provincial training required for a licence. Regal guards then complete an orientation on workplace violence, WHMIS, incident reporting, the Trespass to Property Act and customer service, followed by 16 hours of supervised on-the-job field training.

How is guard work supervised?

Mobile supervisors carry out scheduled and unscheduled inspections of guards and client properties, and a customer service team is available 24/7. Clients also see live guard GPS locations and time-stamped clock-ins and clock-outs in Kovrra, the security ERP Regal uses.

What is the difference between a security guard and a concierge guard?

A security guard focuses on protecting people and property through access control, patrols and response. A concierge guard is a licensed security guard posted at a front desk who also greets residents and visitors and manages deliveries.

Do you provide security guards outside Toronto?

Yes. We serve the GTA from Mississauga and Metro Vancouver from our Langley office.

Why do you say security guard and not the other title?

In Ontario, the Private Security and Investigative Services Act restricts the titles security guards and the companies that sell their services may use. Licensed guards in Ontario are called security guards.
