Overview

There are over 140,000 licensed security guards in Canada. These professionals deliver value to the general public on a daily basis. They safeguard our workplaces, residences, and entertainment facilities. It’s a job that must be done; an essential post that must remain filled, even in times of adversity. Their efforts often go beyond the role of ‘policing and enforcement’. There are countless examples of unrecognized incidents in which security personnel, through their direct actions, have saved individuals' lives. Established in 2019, the Canadian Security Lifesaver Association® is a non-profit organization that seeks to recognize these security professionals and raise awareness of their significant contributions to Canadians. Our Objectives 1. Celebrate examples where security professionals’ direct actions resulted in saving an individual’s life and that without such immediate intervention those individuals would most certainly perish. 2. Enhance the public perception around the professionalism of the private security industry. 3. Promote positive discussions around collaboration between Government, Law Enforcement and Private Industry.
