Comparing Providers
Choosing between security companies in London Ontario
If you are comparing security companies in London Ontario, you are probably shortlisting a few providers for one specific problem: a student rental block that goes sideways every September, a Dundas Street storefront that keeps getting hit overnight, a plaza where the parking lot needs managing, or a plant off Veterans Memorial Parkway that needs gate control. This page lays out what we actually do, so you can compare it against anyone else on your list.
London is not a GTA suburb and it does not behave like one. It is the largest city in southwestern Ontario with its own economy: two large post-secondary institutions in Western University and Fanshawe College driving a rental market of a size most cities never deal with, a major hospital network, a downtown working through real street-level pressure, and manufacturing and food processing along the highway corridors.
Supreme Security Services has been in business for more than 15 years as a licensed Ontario security agency. Our head office is in Concord, and we say that plainly: the guards who work your London property are recruited local to London, then briefed on your site’s access points, house rules and reporting format before their first shift, and backed by dispatch that answers 24/7.
What We Provide
Security services we provide across London
Each service maps to a different kind of London property, from a student block near Western to a plant on the 401 corridor.
Student Housing and Apartment Security
Lobby coverage, trespass response and patrols for student rentals and apartment buildings around Western and Fanshawe, where move-in weekends, party seasons and high turnover drive the workload. Incident documentation landlords can use with tenants and insurers.
See concierge securityRetail, Plaza and Downtown Security
Uniformed guards for Dundas Street storefronts, Richmond Row businesses and the plazas at Masonville, White Oaks and Argyle. Opening and closing coverage, trespass response and loss-prevention support.
See uniformed securityMobile Patrol
Logged vehicle patrols for plazas, lots, yards and multi-site portfolios. Scheduled or randomized rounds, lockups, unlocks and alarm response, billed per visit so smaller London businesses can afford real coverage.
See mobile patrolIndustrial and Warehouse Security
Gate control, driver sign-in, yard patrols and overnight coverage for the manufacturing, food-processing and distribution sites along the 401 and 402 corridors and the east London employment lands.
See static patrollingLive Video Monitoring
Trained operators watch your cameras from our own monitoring station, verify what triggered an alert and escalate on a documented path. Useful in London precisely because it does not depend on a guard standing there all night.

Licensed teams for banquet halls, festivals, campus-adjacent functions and private events across London. Entry control, parking, crowd flow and de-escalation, with teams briefed on the venue beforehand.

What changes from one part of London to another
A student block off Richmond Street and a plant on the 401 fail in completely different ways. Here is how coverage differs across the city.
Downtown core and Richmond Row
Storefronts, offices, restaurants and nightlife along Dundas and Richmond. Businesses here deal with the most street-level pressure in the city and usually want evening presence, calm trespass response and documentation for police follow-up.
Western University and the north rental belt
Broughdale, Old North and the streets feeding the campus turn over completely every year. Landlords here need lobby and property coverage through move-in weekends and peak party periods, with incident logs that hold up with tenants.
Fanshawe College and east London
A second student concentration with a different rhythm, sitting beside older residential and light industrial. Patrols, alarm response and building coverage sized to landlord budgets are the usual scope.
Masonville and north London
Mall retail, newer plazas and growing residential. Retail patrols, parking control and closing-time coverage lead the requests, with camera monitoring often filling the overnight gap.
White Oaks, Argyle and the south
Big-box retail, supermarkets and established residential along Wellington and Highbury. Evening plaza patrols, loss-prevention support and alarm response are the standard mix.
The 401 and 402 corridors
Manufacturing, food processing and distribution on the highway employment lands. These sites run on gate control, driver sign-in, yard checks and monitored cameras, with logs kept tight because cargo and equipment claims depend on them.
Pricing
What security coverage costs in London
Most clients pay between $28 and $45 per hour for uniformed guard coverage, in line with 2026 rates across Ontario. The exact rate depends on hours per week, the number of guards, the training the post requires, and how quickly coverage must start. Longer contracts bring the hourly rate down, and same-day requests carry a premium.
As a guide to 2026 ranges: a uniformed security guard on a single site runs $28 to $35 per hour, a condo concierge or front desk officer $28 to $34 per hour, and a construction site or fire watch guard $30 to $40 per hour. Mobile patrol starts from $25 per visit, and event security staff run $35 to $45 per hour.

Guards deployed
Most London 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 landlord with several student rental properties was losing the first two weeks of every September to noise complaints, damage and people who did not live in the buildings. We moved them to scheduled evening patrols across all the addresses on one route, with a written log per property. The complaints became documented incidents the landlord could act on, and the same coverage now runs every September.

Compare Providers
Comparing security companies in London? Ask these four questions
Whoever you shortlist, ask every provider the same four things. Our answers are on this page, and theirs should be just as specific. Supreme Security Services is a licensed and insured Ontario security agency, in business more than 15 years, with dispatch answering 24/7 and guards recruited local to the properties they protect.
Who exactly will show up?
Ask where the guards come from and who supervises them. Ours are licensed under Ontario’s PSISA, recruited local to London, and your site gets a named supervisor rather than a general dispatch line.
Are the guards briefed for my site?
Every guard walks the property with a supervisor before working it: entrances, cameras, escalation contacts and reporting format. A guard who has never seen your building is not coverage.
What do the reports look like?
Ask for a sample report before you sign anything. Ours are plain-English shift logs, incident reports and patrol records, written so a manager, board or insurer can use them.
Will you tell me if I need less than I asked for?
We quote guards, patrol, monitoring or a mix after seeing the site, and we say so when the cheaper option genuinely covers the risk. A quote that ignores your actual problem is a sales document, not a security plan.
