◈ SERVING NOVA SCOTIA
First Defence Security runs security services across Halifax Regional Municipality, from an office on Argyle Street in Halifax.
The municipality covers a lot of ground. The four communities below each want something different from an officer.
The peninsula holds the office towers, the two big campuses and the bar and hotel district around Argyle Street. Our own front door is on that street.
Downtown work runs to lobby cover, after-hours building checks and event staffing. Detail on our home market sits on the Halifax homepage.
Across the harbour the work turns industrial. Burnside is the largest business park in Atlantic Canada, and its yards hold stock and equipment worth watching.
Overnight mobile patrols suit that better than a fixed post. One vehicle covers several units on a route.
Bedford runs to professional offices, medical space and newer residential blocks along the Bedford Highway. Requests here lean toward front-desk cover and overnight checks of parking areas.
Lower and Middle Sackville sit at the top of the municipality.
The big-box retail along Sackville Drive brings the usual shrink problems. Loss prevention and closing-time presence are the two most common asks.
All sixteen services are available across the municipality. These five carry most of the work.
A licensed officer on your site for the shift, briefed on your access rules before the first day.
Randomized checks across several addresses in one route, with a timestamped report after each visit.
One officer, one post, for sites that cannot be left between patrol passes.
Gates, bag checks and crowd flow for venues on the peninsula and out in the county.
Keyholding and attendance, so an activation reaches us and not your on-call staff.

Argyle Street is inside the area we are covering, which is the whole point. A supervisor can reach a downtown site, cross to Burnside, or run up to Sackville without leaving the municipality.
Dispatch runs around the clock. A shift change at 11pm reaches a person here, and so does an incident on a long weekend. Neither goes to a call centre in another province.
First Defence holds a Nova Scotia security licence, with accreditation to match. Ask for the certificates before you sign anything.
Five-star reviews from Nova Scotia businesses, venues and residents.
