Local Coverage
Comparing security guard companies in Ottawa? Start here
Ottawa’s needs run from office and retail properties downtown and along the transitway corridors, to condo buildings that need trained front-desk coverage, to construction sites and industrial parks on the growing edges. Supreme covers all of it.
We are a licensed Ontario security agency, in business for more than 15 years. Guards are recruited local to the capital region and backed by the dispatch, reporting and monitoring systems we run across southern Ontario. Each guard is licensed under Ontario’s Private Security and Investigative Services Act (PSISA), insured, and trained on the specific property they protect.
This page covers what we do, what it costs, and the questions worth asking any provider before you sign. You will have a written quote within 24 hours.
What We Provide
Security services we run at Ottawa properties
Each service maps to a different kind of Ottawa site, from a Bank Street office to a central-neighbourhood condo or a Kanata construction site.
Office and Commercial Guards
Uniformed guards for offices, retail and commercial buildings downtown and along the arterials: entry control, lockup checks and incident documentation.
See uniformed security servicesCondo Concierge Security
Front-desk officers for Ottawa condominiums: residents, visitors, parcels, access control and board-ready reporting, trained on your building before shift one.
See concierge security servicesMobile Patrol
Marked-vehicle patrols with photo-logged checks of doors, lots and storefronts. Scheduled or randomized rounds across single or multi-site portfolios, billed per visit.
See mobile patrol servicesEvent Security
Licensed event guards for venues and private functions across the capital region: entry checks, capacity counts, crowd flow and de-escalation.
See event security servicesLive Video Monitoring
Trained operators watch your cameras 24/7, verify what triggered an alert and dispatch a guard, so an alarm gets a human response instead of a voicemail.
See live video monitoringConstruction Site Security
Licensed site guards, after-hours patrols and monitored cameras for projects in Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans and the core, with access logs and photo-documented rounds.

Questions to ask any Ottawa security company
Ask every provider you compare the same questions. Our answers are on this page; theirs should be just as concrete.
1. Who exactly stands at my property?
Ask what licence each guard holds and where they come from. Our guards hold valid PSISA licences and are recruited local to the capital region, then trained on your specific site.
2. What does a patrol visit actually include?
A visit should be logged, photo-documented and reported per property, not a drive-past. That is how ours work, and you can read the reports.
3. Who answers the phone at 3 am?
Our dispatch answers 24/7, seven days a week, and urgent requests are prioritized. Ask every provider whether that is a person or a voicemail.
Offices and retail that empty at night
Commercial corridors downtown and along Bank Street, Merivale Road and St. Laurent deal with after-hours break-ins and property damage. Scheduled patrol visits and camera monitoring close the gap.
Condo buildings that need more than a body
Front-desk officers trained on the building: residents, visitors, parcels, access control and board-ready reporting.
Construction sites on the growing edges
Active sites in Kanata, Barrhaven and Orleans lose tools, copper and materials on weekends. Licensed site guards, after-hours patrols and access logs keep projects on schedule.
How It Works
How coverage starts at your Ottawa property
Call or request a quote
Tell us the property type, the problem and the hours you need. You get a written quote within 24 hours.
Site assessment
A supervisor walks the property with you, identifies weak points and writes the post orders your guards will follow.
Guards deployed
Most Ottawa sites are staffed within the same week, subject to scheduling. Urgent coverage is handled 24/7 and prioritized by our dispatch.
A recent engagement
A commercial property was hit by repeated overnight break-ins through rear doors. We added scheduled mobile patrol with photo-logged checks of doors, lots and mechanical rooms. Incidents stopped within the first month, and the property manager kept the service after their insurer reviewed coverage at renewal.
Areas We Cover
Where we work in Ottawa
We cover Ottawa across the K1 and K2 postal areas: the downtown core and ByWard Market area, the office and retail corridors of Bank Street, Merivale Road and St. Laurent, condo buildings across the central neighbourhoods, and the industrial and construction activity in the growing south and west ends including Kanata and Barrhaven.
Guards are local to the capital region, with 24/7 dispatch behind them. Gatineau-side properties are quoted case by case.

Why Supreme
Licensed, insured and honest about how we work
Supreme Security Services has been in business for more than 15 years, licensed and insured as an Ontario security agency. Ottawa coverage runs with guards recruited local to the capital region, trained on the specific property they protect, and backed by 24/7 dispatch. Our head office is in Concord, and we say that plainly because trust starts with accuracy: what you get in Ottawa is local staffing with the systems, supervision and reporting of a GTA-scale agency.
Licensed and site-briefed guards
All guards are licensed under Ontario’s Private Security and Investigative Services Act, then briefed on your property’s access points, escalation contacts and reporting format before the first shift.
One provider for multi-city portfolios
Managers with properties in both Ottawa and the GTA get one dispatch, one supervisor and one monthly report covering every site.
Reports you can act on
Incident reports, patrol logs and visitor records are written so a manager, board or insurer can use them afterward, not decoded from a notebook.
Right-sized coverage, not the biggest invoice
Some sites need a 24/7 post. Many Ottawa properties are covered properly with patrol visits plus camera monitoring. We recommend what fits and say why.
Verified Reviews
What clients say about working with Supreme
