Alberta
Security Services Across
Alberta.
Licensed under the Alberta Security Services and Investigators Act (SSIA). Serving every Alberta municipality with 24/7 dispatch, GPS-verified reporting, and Indigenous-owned CCIB-certified operations.
Alberta’s private-security demand tracks energy-sector activity. When oil is above $80, camps, laydowns and executive residences all scale up together — and the security market moves in lockstep. Off-cycle, corporate concierge and event security carry the demand curve.
PROVINCIAL LICENSING
Alberta Security Services and Investigators Act (SSIA)
Alberta security professionals are licensed under the SSIA, administered by the Solicitor General. The 40-hour basic training program covers legal authorities, use-of-force awareness, communication, and emergency response.
Police-of-jurisdiction across Alberta: RCMP (K-Division) and municipal police services in Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and Camrose. Every Alberta scope we deliver is coordinated with the applicable police service — municipal, provincial, or RCMP — as the situation requires.
Baseline officer wage floor in Alberta: $18.00–$32.00 per hour — highest in Fort McMurray oil-sands rotations. Rates vary by post complexity, shift pattern, licensing tier, and geographic remoteness.

CHALLENGES
What makes Alberta different
Fort McMurray and oil-sands work require rotational scheduling (2/1, 3/1, 4/1) most Canadian markets do not.
Stampede season stress-tests Calgary event-security capacity every July — bookings 6+ months out.
Wildfire seasons redirect officer availability toward evacuation-support scopes with 24-hour turnaround.
