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.

The review is run by people who also staff loss prevention officers day to day. Recommendations are grounded in what actually works on a retail floor, not a generic checklist.

It depends on the site’s size, but most reviews are completed within a couple of weeks.
A written report with specific findings and prioritized recommendations, not a general summary.
Yes. If the report points to a need for floor officers, that can move straight into retail loss prevention.
Consulting is one of sixteen. These are the services clients most often move into, or pair with it.
Plain-clothes officers on the floor, once the review points to floor theft.
The full program, combining a review with ongoing officer coverage.
A wider read on site exposure, beyond stock and shrink alone.
Uniformed presence where the review calls for visible deterrence.
