5 STAR SECURITY SERVICES

Security Services Built on Experience and Accountability
5 Star Security Services is a locally owned Nova Scotia company providing professionally managed security, safety and risk-management services. Clients engage us to manage the risks and safety obligations of their organization, not to fill a schedule with guard hours. Every assignment is backed by field supervision, a 24/7 Command Centre, site-specific procedures, training, technology and management oversight.

Why Organizations Choose 5 Star
Management, not just staffing
Each client has a designated management contact responsible for service quality, scheduling, staffing changes and follow-up. Your account is managed, not just filled.
Active supervision
Mobile supervisors visit sites to inspect posts, confirm post orders are followed, coach officers and correct issues early.
Reporting you can use
Daily activity and incident reports are completed digitally and shared with clients, so decisions rest on what actually happened on site. See how reporting works on our Operations & Reporting page.
The Positive Society Impact approach
Our officers are trained in harm reduction and de-escalation, with additional training in addictions, mental health, poverty, cultural sensitivity and homelessness. Officers resolve situations with dignity and respect wherever possible, which helps reduce repeat incidents and protect your reputation.
Tell Us What You Need to Protect
Start with a conversation about your site, risks and requirements. We will recommend a service that fits, from a single post or patrol route to a complete security program.
