Copper and metals theft
Substation grounding-copper theft and yard-cable theft — mitigated with floodlit perimeter patrol, intrusion-detection verification and local-police liaison.
Vandalism & activism disruption
Non-engagement posture with video documentation, lawful access control and Criminal Code–aware incident reporting.
Construction-adjacent access
Pipeline and transmission-line construction gatehouse, contractor sign-in, MTO/MTQ traffic-control coordination and after-hours watch.
Wildlife & weather-event response
Ice-storm, flooding and wildfire-adjacent standby posture with utility-operator coordination and muster-point support.
Unauthorized drone / aerial activity
Observation, description and reporting per Transport Canada guidance; no interdiction without lawful authority.
Our energy & utilities protocols
Alarm response
Verified-alarm dispatch with SLA per post, K9 or additional-unit call-up where required, and evidence-preservation log.
Contractor & visitor access
Approved-contractor list, pre-badge verification, PPE check and escort-to-work-front where required.
Environmental & emergency response
Spill, fire and storm standby posture with MOECP/MELCC notification support and liaison with utility-operator incident command.
Lawful-protest & media conduct
Documented non-engagement, video evidence of access-blocking events and pre-briefed media-handling script (no unauthorized statements).
Data retention & audit
Access logs, CCTV retention and incident files maintained to the utility's audit period (typically 1–3 years), with chain-of-custody hand-off.
Frameworks we align to
- NERC-CIP physical-security awareness (applicable bulk-electric-system substations)
- MOECP (ON) / MELCC (QC) environmental incident notification
- Transport Canada drone / aerial-activity reporting guidance
- PSISA (ON) & BSP (QC) licensing and use-of-force limits
- CCOHS / CNESST hazard-area entry protocols

FAQ
Do you work NERC-CIP substations?
Yes. Our substation posts operate with NERC-CIP physical-security awareness (access logs, escort protocols, incident reporting) alongside PSISA/BSP licensing requirements.
Can you provide patrol on a linear transmission or pipeline project?
Yes. Our mobile-patrol units cover linear right-of-way construction projects with checkpoint tagging, contractor gate control and after-hours perimeter sweeps.
How do you handle protest and activism incidents?
Non-engagement posture, video documentation of access-blocking events and Criminal Code–aware incident reporting. We do not break or push lawful protest lines.
Are your guards trained for hazard-area entry?
Yes. Site-specific hazard training (confined space awareness, arc-flash distance, CNESST/CCOHS basics) is added before unaccompanied duty at higher-hazard sites.
Can you support storm and outage-response standby?
Yes. Our dispatch maintains storm-standby rosters and can deploy to utility-operator muster points with NFC-tagged checkpoint documentation.
