Peterborough Security Services — Campus, Municipal & Marine

Serving Peterborough's Trent University campus, downtown-heritage district, and Kawartha-Lakes marine and municipal facilities.

Why Peterborough chooses 1st Indigenous Security

Peterborough's blend of academic, municipal, and lake-front tourism needs suits our all-round security program.

LOCAL RISK PROFILE

Common security challenges in Peterborough

After-hours risk on unattended education sites

In Peterborough, unoccupied buildings, laydown yards and equipment lots are the highest-frequency targets for theft, vandalism and unauthorised entry — particularly during long weekends, seasonal shut-downs and after weather events.

Access control across mixed-tenant Peterborough properties

Managing visitors, deliveries and after-hours access without disrupting tenants requires trained officers and documented post orders — not a generic call-centre approach.

Event & public-space crowd pressure in Kawartha Lakes

Festivals, private receptions and municipal gatherings in the Kawartha Lakes corridor need right-sized crowd management, licensed staff and coordination with Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) / municipal police.

Verified response, not just monitored alarms

Monitoring-only services can leave your Peterborough property waiting for police — our licensed officers physically verify every activation and coordinate with first responders on scene.

HOW WE DELIVER

Our Peterborough security program

  1. 01

    Peterborough Site Survey

    A ON supervisor walks your property, maps perimeter, identifies vulnerabilities, and documents everything before any officer sets foot on site.

  2. 02

    Tailored Post Orders

    Your security program is written to your building, tenants and neighbourhood — not copy-pasted from a template used in another city.

  3. 03

    Local, Licensed Officers

    Every officer is licensed under the Ontario Private Security & Investigative Services Act (PSISA), holds current First Aid / CPR-C, and is on-boarded specifically to your Peterborough location.

  4. 04

    Real-Time Reporting

    You get GPS-verified patrol logs, time-stamped photos and any incident escalations in real time via our client portal — visible from anywhere in Ontario.

WORKING WITH US

What ongoing Peterborough security looks like

After onboarding, most Peterborough clients settle into a rhythm of monthly executive summaries, quarterly business reviews with their assigned supervisor, and a direct line to our 24/7 dispatch for any real-time issue. There is no phone tree; you call the number on our website and a real dispatcher answers.

Officers assigned to Peterborough posts stay on their assignments long enough to build real relationships — with your tenants, your operations team and your neighbours. When rotations do happen (vacations, illness, promotion) they are covered by a documented named backup, not the next warm body available.

As a 100% Indigenous-owned company, we bring an additional value that matters to public procurement, municipal buyers, and organisations with Indigenous procurement targets: authentic Indigenous ownership, verifiable CCIB certification, and a business model that reinvests in Indigenous employment across Ontario and beyond.
