What Sets Imperial Security Apart in Coquitlam
📞 +1 604-256-9383
We’ve been doing this long enough to know the difference between security that looks good on paper and security that actually works. Here’s what we do differently.
- 120,000+ alarm responses and counting:- That number isn’t marketing copy it’s operations. Our mobile patrol units are on the road around the clock, and when your alarm triggers, a guard is moving toward your property immediately. No call centre handoffs.
- 30 years of experience in BC:- We’ve seen security vendors come and go. Our client relationships in the Lower Mainland span decades because we don’t just deploy guards and disappear. We supervise, we report, and we pick up the phone.
- Vagrant and encampment removal:- With the growth around Town Centre Park, Coquitlam Central station, and commercial properties along North Road, unauthorized occupants on private property have become a real problem for property managers in the Tri-Cities. We handle removals legally, with documentation, and without incident.
- Cannabis security:- We are one of the few security companies in the Tri-Cities area with trained cannabis retail security guards. BC regulations require licensed security at cannabis dispensaries, and we have the trained personnel and compliance protocols in place.
- Bike patrols:- For high-foot-traffic areas around Coquitlam Centre, the Town Centre commercial core, or event venues at the Evergreen Cultural Centre our bike patrol guards can cover ground that a vehicle can’t.
- No subcontracting:- Every guard is an Imperial Security employee. We train them, supervise them, and are responsible for them. That matters when something happens on your property at 3 a.m.
Security Services We Provide in Coquitlam
Uniformed Security Guards
Stationary guards for commercial properties, office buildings, retail locations, strata lobbies, and industrial sites across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody. Our guards manage access control, visitor screening, incident reporting, and deterrence. All shifts are supervised and logged.
Mobile Patrol Security
Our marked patrol vehicles cover Coquitlam and the broader Tri-Cities on scheduled rotations throughout the day and night. Mobile patrol is the right choice for multi-building strata complexes, commercial plazas, and industrial properties that need regular documented check-ins but don’t need a full-time guard presence. Every patrol comes with a time-stamped report.
Rapid Alarm Response
When your alarm fires, we respond. Our units are positioned across the Lower Mainland to get on-site fast. We assess the situation, contact you directly with a full report, and coordinate with RCMP when needed. We’ve handled over 120,000 rapid alarm responses. This is what we do.
Strata & Condominium Security
Coquitlam has one of the fastest-growing strata markets in Metro Vancouver particularly around Burke Mountain, the Lincoln Station area, and Westwood Plateau. Our strata security guards manage lobby access, visitor screening, parkade patrols, package management, and resident concerns. They’re trained for residential environments, which is a different skill set from commercial guard work.
Construction Site Security
Burke Mountain and the broader Coquitlam area are active construction zones. Equipment theft, copper theft, and material loss at overnight and weekend construction sites is a real and costly problem. Our construction site guards manage access logs, patrol perimeters, and document all site activity. We’ve protected development sites across the Tri-Cities for decades.
Fire Watch Services
When a fire suppression system goes offline for maintenance or repair, BC fire code requires an immediate fire watch. We deploy certified fire watch guards to Coquitlam properties on the same day in most cases. This covers strata buildings, commercial properties, and construction sites with active fire system shutdowns.
Event Security
Corporate events, private functions, sports events at Percy Perry Stadium, performances at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, and community gatherings across the Tri-Cities. Our event security teams handle access control, crowd management, guest screening, and incident response. We work with venue management ahead of the event to understand the site and plan accordingly.
Loss Prevention
Our plain-clothes and uniformed loss prevention officers are trained specifically for retail environments the commercial corridors along Lougheed Highway, Coquitlam Centre, Austin Heights, and Port Coquitlam’s shopping areas. We work with your team and coordinate with police on escalations.
Bike Patrol Security
For properties or areas that need visible security coverage in higher-density or pedestrian zones, our bike patrol guards offer fast, flexible coverage without the limitations of a vehicle. This is particularly effective around Town Centre, commercial plazas, and event venues.
Lock & Unlock Services
For businesses that need consistent, accountable opening and closing coverage, we put an on-site guard at the start and end of each operating day. Every visit is documented.
Vagrant & Encampment Removal
If unauthorized individuals have set up on your property in a parkade, at a loading dock, on undeveloped land, or in a vacant unit we handle the situation legally, safely, and with full documentation. We work with Coquitlam bylaw enforcement and, where appropriate, social service referrals. Our approach is firm, professional, and resolves the situation without confrontation.
