The frontline of protection
A trained, visible security presence for your property
A physical security presence is often the most effective way to deter crime, manage access and keep your people and property safe. Hillcrest Security provides highly trained, licensed and uniformed security guards for a wide range of environments in Surrey and across the Lower Mainland.
Our guards are more than a visual deterrent. They are trained professionals who handle complex situations, provide excellent customer service and respond effectively to emergencies. Each guard follows site instructions written around your property, your hours and your risks, and our 24/7 dispatch centre stays in contact with every post.
Whether you need one guard at a front desk on weekdays or round-the-clock coverage at an industrial yard, we schedule the right people for the job and keep coverage consistent, so your staff and visitors see familiar faces.
- Static guards for day, evening, overnight and weekend shifts
- Short-term, long-term and emergency coverage
- Clear post orders agreed with you before day one
