Effective security is about more than responding when something goes wrong. It is about understanding risk, anticipating potential problems and creating the conditions that help prevent incidents from occurring in the first place.

Through Xpera’s security division, Emergency Security Management (ESM), clients have access to comprehensive security guard services, experienced professionals and scalable resources across Canada.

Our teams protect people, property, assets and operations in environments ranging from commercial facilities and critical infrastructure to emergency scenes, community settings and major events.

ESM provides a rapid and seamless response through trained, uniformed security guards who can be deployed at a moment’s notice to establish immediate site control, document and record individual access, and address safety concerns. A 24-hour emergency hotline supports coast-to-coast deployment anytime, anywhere—often on site in as little as two hours. ESM security guards have secured more than 1,000 fire losses and catastrophic sites.

Security Through Presence, Judgement and Prevention

A strong security presence should create confidence, not unnecessary tension.

Our personnel are expected to remain alert, professional and measured in their approach. They assess situations carefully, communicate respectfully and use sound judgement to address concerns at the lowest appropriate level wherever possible.

De-escalation and prevention are important parts of that approach.

Whether protecting a site, responding to an emergency or interacting with members of the public, the objective is the same: manage risk effectively while helping maintain a safe, orderly and respectful environment.

Scalable Support

Security needs can change quickly.

Xpera can provide short-term emergency deployment, mobile resources, specialized personnel or long-term security programs depending on the circumstances.

Our national capabilities allow us to mobilize quickly while tailoring each program to the client, location and risks involved.

Specialized Security Consulting

Clients can also draw upon a team of former law enforcement and intelligence professionals for specialized security consulting. Tailored to specific needs, this work can include a security risk assessment to evaluate worksites, identify threats, and create detailed plans to mitigate risk.

• Threat risk assessment
• Security audit
• Penetration testing
• GPS asset tracking
• Executive protection
• Active shooter (active risk) planning

With ESM’s security guard and consulting services, clients can rely on robust, responsive solutions designed to safeguard assets, personnel, and operations.
