What This Covers
Concierge security is the discipline of making residents and visitors feel welcome without ever letting your guard down. Our officers train in luxury hospitality standards — how to greet, log, deflect solicitors, and de-escalate the difficult 3 a.m. moments that most guards fumble.
We integrate directly with your PMS: Yardi, Buildium, Rent Manager. Parcels are photo-logged. Visitors are auto-notified. Incidents are timestamped with unit numbers and CCTV cross-references.
Residential and commercial concierge officers who greet, screen, log, and respond — with the polish your tenants expect.
From Walkthrough to First Shift.
Every concierge security deployment follows the same four-step engagement — no short-cuts, no template quotes, no officer placed on a site they've never walked.
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.
Deployment & Audit
Coverage begins on the agreed date, with the first two weeks audited by the regional supervisor. We course-correct in real time — not at a quarterly review.

Questions We Get About Concierge Security.
Is Concierge Security Licensed Across Canada?
Yes. Every concierge 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 Concierge Security Contract?
For most concierge 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 Concierge 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.
What Certifications Do Your Concierge Security Officers Hold?
Beyond provincial licensing, our concierge security officers complete 80+ hours of onboarding covering WHMIS, mental health first aid, use-of-force theory, de-escalation, and service-specific protocols. Sector-specific certifications (IAHSS, NVCI, EPI, LPQ/LPC, NFPA fire watch, TCP flagger, ICON EP) are held where the service requires them.
How Is Concierge Security Priced?
Pricing depends on staffing hours, licensing tier, uniform posture, and site complexity. 1Northwest Security delivers formal proposals — typically same business day — and never quotes over the phone before understanding the site.
