As the devastating effects of COVID-19’s second wave have led to daily record-breaking COVID-19 cases across Canada since the beginning of November, the provincial government of British Columbia has been forced to implement a strict mask-mandate for all businesses conducting their activities indoors.
Since the beginning of the pandemic in British Columbia, we’ve seen business owners’ unwavering efforts to keep their staff and customers safe, without any compromise or delay. From implementing social-distancing regulations or mandatory hand sanitizing, all of these efforts have largely been successfully executed with assistance and advisement from the security industry.
From the onset of the pandemic, the security industry has been required to shift training protocols to align with the changing times – an effort that has reaped benefits for both the private and public sector, limiting the extraordinary financial damage that COVID-19 could have had on the economy. As times continue to change and restrictions continue to be implemented, we have now entered into the second wave of COVID-19 which requires evolved tactics and even greater urgency from security companies.
Throughout the pandemic, the security industry has been utilized beyond its traditional purpose of securing assets. That being said, it’s been no surprise that the industry has been extremely busy as demand for physical security officers has skyrocketed across a myriad of industries. In the healthcare sector, officers have been deployed at testing sites 24/7 to ensure that they are secure and have become responsible for safely transferring COVID-19 patients to isolation zones. In the private sector, many business owners have committed to strict policies, ensuring that their place of business is safe, organized and secured from health threats. Particularly for the private sector, the critical procurement of a reliable security provider has become imperative - not only in ensuring that customers are abiding to all mandated guidelines, but also for the purpose of securing business infrastructure at a time when theft, break-ins, arson and other property crimes have surged and can have a real devastating impact on businesses’ livelihoods.

Whether it be offering our customers guards that are expertly trained in COVID-19 protocols, like executing temperature checks and social distancing measures, or technological advancements that ensure infrastructure patrols (both mobile and physical) are being conducted touch-free –
