How We Deploy in Ottawa
Discovery Walkthrough
A regional supervisor visits your site, interviews stakeholders, and documents current pain points, existing systems, and shift patterns.
SOP Design
We draft a site-specific Standard Operating Procedure — post orders, escalation ladder, uniform posture, reporting cadence — and review it with your team before deployment.
Officer Selection
Officers are hand-picked from our regional roster based on skill fit, language requirements, and prior experience with your industry. No random assignments.

Cannabis / Dispensary Security in Ottawa — Common Questions.
Is Cannabis / Dispensary Security Licensed Across Canada?
Yes. Every cannabis / dispensary security deployment is fulfilled by officers who hold a valid provincial licence in the province of work — Ontario PSISA, BC BST, Quebec BSP, Alberta Security Services Licence, and equivalent territorial licences across NWT, YT, and NU.
How Quickly Can You Start a Cannabis / Dispensary Security Contract?
For most cannabis / dispensary security engagements we can be on-site within 48–72 hours of a signed proposal. Emergency deployments (e.g. sprinkler-outage fire watch, sudden alarm-response coverage) are often possible the same day.
Do You Scale Cannabis / Dispensary Security to Multi-Site Portfolios?
Yes. National portfolios receive a dedicated account manager, single-invoice billing, and consolidated reporting across every site — from a single storefront to a coast-to-coast footprint.
How Do You Handle Reporting in Ottawa?
Every check-point in Ottawa is timestamped and GPS-tagged. Daily occurrence reports arrive by 06:00 the following morning and are stored in a client-facing portal alongside CCTV cross-references and photographic evidence.
Do You Handle Both Armed and Unarmed Work in Ottawa?
The vast majority of our Ottawa deployments are unarmed licensed officers, which meets almost every commercial, residential, and event use case. Armed work (when legally permissible) is available for specific high-risk executive protection details on written request.
What Insurance Do You Carry for Ottawa Work?
1Northwest Security maintains $25M General Liability, provincial WSIB/WCB compliance, and site-specific certificate delivery on demand — often within the same business day for Ottawa clients.
