◈ SERVING NOVA SCOTIA
Training runs from licensing-track courses for new officers to site-specific training, across Halifax and Nova Scotia. It’s taught by the same coordinators who supervise First Defence’s own officers day to day.
Programs are scoped to who’s being trained and what they’ll be doing:
This suits companies with in-house security staff who want them trained, and individuals working toward a security guard licence.
If you’d rather have First Defence supply and manage the officers directly, see security guards instead.
Tell us who is being trained and what they will be doing. We will scope the program to that.
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.
