Veteran-Led Security for Port Moody's Growing Communities
Get in touch today
Ex-Servicemen Security has served the Tri-Cities corridor since 2001. Port Moody’s mix of transit-oriented construction, waterfront hospitality, and established residential neighbourhoods in Glenayre, College Park, and Heritage Mountain creates security demands that shift depending on where you are in the city — and we’ve worked all of it.
We bring military structure to every deployment: 24/7 coverage, GPS-tracked response, and guards trained to assess, not just observe.

Why Port Moody Businesses and Buildings Choose Us
Mission Mindset
Port Moody’s security challenges aren’t uniform. A transit-adjacent condo tower has different exposure than an inlet-side construction site or a summer event at Rocky Point. We assess each environment on its own terms, build a protection plan around actual vulnerabilities, and deploy guards who execute with the discipline that comes from military and law enforcement backgrounds.
Military-Quality Discipline
Led by former military officers and law enforcement professionals, our Port Moody security services maintain:
- Structured patrol protocols and post orders tailored to each site
- Professional conduct in both residential and commercial environments
- Accountable communication chains and incident documentation
- Trained response to property crime, unauthorized access, and site hazards
Public Service Values
We continue our commitment to public service through professional security:
- Straightforward communication with strata councils, site supervisors, and event organizers
- Proactive deterrence strategies, not reactive clean-up
- Prevention-focused deployment that reduces incidents before they escalate
- Transparent reporting with full documentation on every shift
Port Moody Security: What We’ve Learned Over Two Decades
Rapid densification creates a specific problem: construction sites holding high-value materials sitting beside occupied residential buildings, often with incomplete perimeter controls. Copper, tools, and equipment go missing from sites like this regularly across the Tri-Cities. We’ve secured dozens of builds in similar conditions — staged fencing, controlled access points, overnight guard coverage — and our clients don’t lose material on our watch.
On the residential side, Glenayre and Heritage Mountain have experienced the kind of vehicle break-ins and package theft that follows whenever a neighbourhood’s traffic volume grows faster than its surveillance infrastructure. Mobile patrols running unpredictable routes are the proven deterrent, and we’ve run them here long enough to know which areas and timeframes carry the most risk.
For commercial operators along St. Johns and the waterfront, the concern is typically after-hours access and employee safety during late closings. Whether it’s a brewery taproom or a retail strip, staff need to get to their vehicles safely, and your property needs to be secure once they’re gone. We handle both.
Security Services in Port Moody
Our Port Moody security services cover eight specialized areas — built for the construction sites, residential strata buildings, commercial properties, and public events that define this city’s growth corridor.
Mobile Security Patrols
GPS-Tracked Coverage Across Port Moody
Scheduled and randomized mobile patrol routes covering Port Moody’s residential neighbourhoods, commercial corridors, and waterfront properties. Every patrol generates a real-time digital report — timestamps, GPS coordinates, incident notes.
Port Moody Commitment: Serving residential neighbourhoods in Glenayre, College Park, Oceanview, and Heritage Mountain where vehicle break-ins and package theft require consistent deterrence presence; commercial and hospitality properties along St. Johns and the waterfront; and multi-unit residential buildings near SkyTrain stations where access point monitoring reduces unauthorized entry incidents.
Construction & Industrial Site Security
24/7 Site Protection in Port Moody’s Development Corridor
Port Moody’s transit-oriented development boom means active construction on and near high-density sites where material theft and unauthorized access are constant risks. Our guards provide continuous overnight coverage, controlled site access, and documented perimeter checks.
Port Moody Commitment: Securing transit-adjacent development projects near Moody Centre and Inlet Centre stations, light industrial and marine-adjacent sites along the inlet, residential construction in established neighbourhoods, and infrastructure projects where equipment and materials require overnight protection.
Occupational First Aid Services (WCB Certified)
WorkSafeBC-Compliant First Aid for Port Moody Sites
Every guard on our Port Moody roster carries Occupational First Aid certification at Level 2 or higher. That’s not a bonus — it’s a compliance requirement for most active construction and industrial sites in BC, and it means our guards can respond medically while managing site security simultaneously.
Port Moody Commitment: Required for active construction sites, marine-adjacent industrial operations, and any worksite where WorkSafeBC first aid regulations apply. Our certified guards cover both the security and occupational health obligations in a single deployment.
Concierge & Condo Security
Access Control for Port Moody’s High-Density Buildings
Port Moody’s new transit-oriented towers and existing strata buildings require front-of-building presence that’s professional, consistent, and actually controls access — not just a name on a roster. Our concierge guards manage resident access, contractor screening, parcel handling, and visitor protocols.
Port Moody Commitment: Serving new high-density residential developments near Evergreen Extension stations, established strata buildings across Moody Centre, and mixed-use buildings along St. Johns where resident-facing professionalism is as important as security itself. Strata councils and property managers work directly with our team.
Employee Safety Escort Services
After-Hours Staff Protection for Port Moody Businesses
Hospitality and retail staff finishing late shifts along the waterfront, St. Johns corridor, and in commercial plazas need professional escort to their vehicles. We provide that coverage as a standalone service or integrated with on-site security deployment.
Port Moody Commitment: Supporting restaurant, brewery, and retail staff in Port Moody’s growing hospitality district, commercial plaza employees, and any business where evening or late-night closing creates personal safety exposure for team members.
Fire Watch & Hazard Monitoring
WCB-Certified Fire Watch Coverage
When sprinkler systems go offline for maintenance, upgrades, or post-incident inspection, BC fire code requires continuous fire watch. Our certified guards conduct mandatory hourly patrols and produce the compliance documentation your building needs.
Port Moody Commitment: Supporting strata buildings, commercial properties, and construction sites in Port Moody and the broader Tri-Cities area during fire suppression system downtime, with full documentation for WorkSafeBC and fire authority compliance.
Demolition & Remediation Security
Specialized Site Security for Redevelopment Projects
As older industrial and commercial sites in Port Moody’s waterfront and St. Johns corridor are cleared for redevelopment, demolition and remediation work creates specific access control and hazardous materials awareness requirements. Our guards are trained for both.
Port Moody Commitment: Securing demolition and remediation projects along Port Moody’s waterfront redevelopment corridor and infill sites, with guards trained in hazmat awareness protocols, controlled perimeter access, and documentation requirements for regulated remediation sites.
Event Security & Crowd Management
Professional Security for Port Moody Events
Rocky Point Park hosts large seasonal events. The waterfront draws festivals and community gatherings. Breweries and venues run private events year-round. Each requires coordinated access management, crowd monitoring, and a security presence that keeps things moving without creating friction.
Port Moody Commitment: Covering public events at Rocky Point Park and the waterfront, brewery and hospitality venue events, community festivals, and private corporate or strata events across Port Moody where professional crowd management and access control are required.
Common Questions About Security Guards in Port Moody
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of properties do you secure in Port Moody?
We work across Port Moody’s full range of property types: transit-adjacent construction sites, new and established strata buildings, commercial and retail properties along St. Johns and the waterfront, light industrial sites near the inlet, and public and private event venues. Port Moody’s rapid growth means we regularly work with developers and general contractors on new builds as well as strata management companies and individual business owners. If you have a site with a security gap, we’ve likely covered something comparable.
How do mobile patrols work for residential neighbourhoods in Port Moody?
Our mobile patrol units run scheduled and randomized routes through the areas you want covered — Glenayre, College Park, Oceanview, Heritage Mountain, or wherever your property sits. Every pass is GPS-logged and generates a real-time digital report accessible to you. Patrol frequency and timing are set based on your risk profile: a property that has experienced repeated vehicle break-ins gets more frequent coverage during high-risk timeframes. We adjust patrol schedules as conditions change — if an incident cluster appears in a specific area, we respond to it.
Are your guards licensed to work in Port Moody and the Tri-Cities?
Yes. Every guard we deploy holds a valid BC Security Worker Licence, is fully insured, and carries WorkSafeBC coverage. All guards also hold Occupational First Aid certification (Level 2 or higher), which covers both the security and WorkSafeBC first aid obligations on active worksites. We operate throughout the Tri-Cities — Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam — and across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
What's the best starting point for new clients in Port Moody?
A free security assessment. We come to your site, identify the actual exposure points, and give you a clear picture of what coverage makes sense — whether that’s a mobile patrol contract, static overnight guard, or a combined approach. There’s no obligation, and it usually surfaces vulnerabilities that weren’t obvious before. Call us at 604-762-5913 or fill out the contact form above.
Do you work with strata councils directly?
Yes, frequently. Strata councils and property managers are among our most common clients in Port Moody. We understand strata procurement processes, can present to council meetings, and work within the reporting structures that strata management requires. If you’re renewing a security contract or addressing a gap in existing coverage, reach out and we’ll walk you through the options.
