◈ SERVING NOVA SCOTIA
An investigation only matters if the file survives contact with a judge or an insurer. That is the standard behind everything on this page. First Defence holds a private investigator’s licence under Nova Scotia’s Private Investigators and Private Guards Act. The same law licenses our security guards.
Law firms hire us to chase evidence. Insurers hire us to check a claim. Landlords need a document served, and employers need a loss investigated properly. Guarding and investigations share one Halifax office. A security incident can move straight into a formal file without changing hands.
Surveillance, background checks and fraud files, built by licensed investigators with a Certified Fraud Examiner reviewing the harder cases.
Legal documents delivered and confirmed anywhere in Nova Scotia, with an affidavit of service filed as soon as it is done.
Court orders enforced to the letter, from seizures to evictions, with a full written record.
Every file stays inside the case. We do not discuss a client’s investigation with anyone outside it.
We document it the way a court or a regulator expects: dated, sourced and ready to be challenged.
Five-star reviews from Nova Scotia businesses, venues and residents.
I’ve used First Defence Security for my business and special functions for several years. The service from top to bottom has been exceptional. A first-class company, and I would highly recommend them for any of your security needs, small to big.
Excellent experience with First Defence Security. They provide top-notch service, and communication with staff and management was first rate. Highly recommend.
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.
The service provided is highly professional from start to finish. The attention is excellent, and they offer support for any questions that arise during the process. I recommend them without hesitation.
We used First Defence Security for our nightclub, Rumours. Very professional.
Looking for quality security services? I highly recommend First Defence Security. They’re responsive and deliver top-notch service.
First Defence Security provides excellent security services with a highly professional team. Definitely a company I would recommend.
A Certified Fraud Examiner reviews the fraud and insurance files that need one. Both licences, guarding and investigations, sit under the same roof. A case never has to explain itself twice to a second company.
Guarding and investigations run from the same Halifax office, under the same provincial Act. A security incident on one of our sites can move straight into a formal investigation without changing hands.
