Safety and security services

Community Safety
We are a team of skilled, trained workers who have extensive experience supporting people experiencing homelessness or other crises. Our teams have lived-experience in the community and act with respect and empathy for our neighbours.
We help residents and businesses with de-escalation assistance, provide referrals for those needing social supports, report hazards in the community to appropriate departments, and call emergency services when needed.
-
Community Support
We offer assistance to residents to get to their medical appointments or meetings, and we help businesses navigate complex urban challenges.
Our teams collect and dispose of needles and sharps from the street, and report graffiti tags and other vandalism, as required.

Event Support
Our licensed security personnel provide event support, greet guests and accompany people who need assistance to their vehicles or transit following the event.
