Security guard company in Vancouver

A downtown office and a team that knows Vancouver buildings

Vancouver's security challenges are different from the suburbs. Tall residential and office towers need professional front desk coverage, construction runs on tight urban sites with little room to store equipment, and events bring large crowds into small spaces. Hillcrest Security provides guards and patrols built for those conditions.

Our Vancouver office at Regus Pacific Centre, Suite 1500, 701 West Georgia Street, puts us in the middle of downtown. We meet clients there, and we schedule concierge officers, static guards and patrol coverage across the city, from Coal Harbour and Yaletown to Mount Pleasant, Kitsilano and South Vancouver.

Behind every Vancouver post is our own 24/7 monitoring and dispatch centre and a team of over 100 guards, so coverage stays consistent through shift changes, sick calls and sudden extra needs.

  • Concierge, static guard and patrol coverage
  • Clear post orders for every building
  • Detailed incident and patrol reports

Why Hillcrest

Why Vancouver clients choose Hillcrest Security

A real downtown presence. Our Vancouver office at Regus Pacific Centre on West Georgia Street means we are close to the buildings we protect, and easy to meet with.

Professional front-of-house guards. Concierge and lobby posts need people who are courteous, well presented and alert. We choose officers for communication skills and train them in First Aid and CPR, emergency response and de-escalation.

Depth when you need it. With over 100 guards in the Lower Mainland, we can staff a single front desk or a large downtown event, and we can deploy on as little as 2 hours' notice.

24/7 monitoring and dispatch. Our own monitoring and dispatch centre supports every Vancouver post around the clock and coordinates alarm response with our mobile patrol units.
