Uniformed security guards
BSP-licensed bilingual guards for offices, condos, retail, healthcare, construction and event environments across greater Montreal.
Montreal · Quebec · Agence de sécurité BSP
Vision Security is a Quebec-licensed security agency (agence de sécurité) delivering BSP-licensed bilingual guards, mobile patrols, event security and executive protection across Montreal, Laval and the South Shore.
Hiring a security agency in Montreal is a regulatory decision before it is a service decision. In Quebec, only a corporate licence holder under the Bureau de la sécurité privée (an agence de sécurité) is legally allowed to dispatch security guards for hire. There is no shortcut around this — and yet the market is full of unlicensed brokers, freelancers and out-of-province operators selling 'security' that exposes the buyer to significant liability if anything goes wrong on site. Vision Security is a fully licensed Quebec security agency, with the corporate BSP permit that allows us to legally provide guard services in Montreal and across the province.
What sets a strong agence de sécurité apart from a weak one is operational depth: real BSP licensing on every guard, real insurance coverage, real supervisors who actually visit sites, real dispatch staffed locally, and real reporting that reaches your inbox. Most prospects come to us after a national broker or out-of-province company has under-served them — usually a guard who didn't show, a guard who couldn't communicate in French, or an account manager who never returned a call after the contract was signed.
We work with property managers, developers, event producers, retailers, condominium boards and corporate clients across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, Boucherville, the West Island and the South Shore. Vision Security operates as a fully French-English bilingual agency — every guard, every dispatcher, every supervisor speaks both languages, which matters in a city where one wrong interaction at the front desk can become a complaint at the next condo board meeting or AGM.

Vision Security holds the corporate agence de sécurité licence issued by the Bureau de la sécurité privée du Québec — required by law to dispatch security guards in this province. Every individual guard holds an active permis d'agent de sécurité, and our supervisors hold the additional supervisor class. We provide our agency licence number and individual guard licence numbers to clients on request — many compliance teams now require this before contracting.
Vision Security carries $5,000,000 commercial general liability and full CNESST workers' compensation coverage in Quebec. Certificates of insurance naming your property, event or corporate entity are issued within one business day.
Response time: Under one hour anywhere on the island of Montreal
Our 24/7 dispatch is staffed in Montreal. When something goes wrong on a site after hours, a real supervisor answers, opens a ticket and dispatches the closest team. We keep on-call rosters specifically for short-notice fire watches, post-incident standbys, eviction support and emergency event coverage.
Hourly rates vary by province, post type, training requirements and how much notice you give. Below is the realistic range we see in 2025 for unarmed licensed guards on standard posts. Treat anything well below these as a red flag.
If a quote is well under the low end, ask to see the agency's licence number, insurance certificate and training records before contracting. Cheap usually means cut corners somewhere.
When a bid comes in well below market, the savings are usually being generated somewhere illegitimate. The most common shortcuts:
Ask any agency for: agency licence number, $5M COI naming you, training records, supervisor schedule and a 24/7 dispatch number that rings to a real person. If they can't produce all five, walk away.
Send us the site, the hours and what you need protected. You'll get a written security program and quote in under one business day — backed by BSP licensing, $5M in insurance and 24/7 dispatch from a Montreal team.
