Potential Security
About Potential Security
Contract security from a Delta office covering guards, mobile patrols, alarm response and video monitoring, with Port Coquitlam among its service areas.
Guard services are dispatched rather than visited, which makes coverage the real measure of a security firm, not its office address. That is how contract guarding works everywhere: a guard posted to a Mary Hill industrial site or a storefront near Shaughnessy Street is dispatched from wherever the firm's roster sits, and for this firm the roster runs from North Delta. Potential Security works out of 11657 88 Avenue there and publishes location pages for eighteen communities running from Squamish to Hope. Port Coquitlam is one of them, alongside Coquitlam, Port Moody, Maple Ridge and the rest of the corridor, which is why it is included. There is no local storefront: a face to face conversation is something to arrange rather than drop in on.
The published roster is contract security in the ordinary sense. Uniformed guards are offered for residential, commercial and industrial sites. Alarm response, mobile patrols, event and venue coverage, parking enforcement, traffic control, loss prevention and remote video monitoring make up the rest of the staffing side, with camera and access control technology on top and a managed cybersecurity offering alongside. The guards are described by the company as licensed and trained. Security work in British Columbia is licensed under the Security Services Act, both the workers and the firms that employ them, and a prospective client can ask how that applies to whoever would stand post on site.
What no coverage list reveals is how fast help arrives, and for a Port Coquitlam site that is the number to press on, above all for alarm callouts and patrol work dispatched from a Delta base. Worth settling too: whether the site would carry its own posted guard or sit on the route of a vehicle covering several locations. On paper those two setups can look alike; at three in the morning they behave differently. The published number is (604) 799-3575. A written description of what needs protecting tends to draw a faster quote than a general enquiry.
Service area
Where they work from
Based outside Port Coquitlam and serves it as part of a wider area, so this is a call-out service rather than somewhere to visit.
