Regular passes, real reports

Residential & community patrols in Halifax & Nova Scotia

Residential patrols give a board or property manager eyes on the property, across Halifax and Nova Scotia. A vehicle checks common areas, parking and entrances on a schedule, then reports back to whoever’s running the building.

I want to commend a supervisor from First Defence Security. He was incredibly professional, and he made sure the main entrance was clear and accessible. He is the reason I finally felt safe enough to go inside and see my family.

Why First Defence

Patrols are scheduled around when issues actually happen, evenings, weekends, the hours a board can’t watch itself. Reports go straight to your property manager or board, not buried in a general log.
