SafeTech Security

What SafeTech Security does

SafeTech Security is a privately held, founder-led physical security company founded in Toronto in 1995. It serves residential, commercial, industrial, construction, retail, healthcare, and government clients, and names Ford, FedEx, Pizza Pizza, Tim Hortons, Elections Canada, and Elections Ontario among its customers. Its service platform combines licensed guard deployment, GPS-verified mobile check-ins, timestamped and photo-backed reporting, randomized patrols, 24/7 ULC-listed monitoring, and central dispatch. SafeTech reports 450+ active GTA guards and more than 10,000 cumulative guard deployments across Canada. Source:.\n\nGuard services are the primary revenue stream, priced at $25-$45 per hour or through fixed monthly site-specific rates, with commercial contracts typically lasting 3-12 months. Monitoring, video verification, and dispatch are additional monthly service streams. SafeTech acquires customers through free site assessments, local search, direct phone and web inquiries, and enterprise field sales; tailored post orders, account management, and multi-site deployment support larger clients. The disclosed headcount range and the much larger active guard network are not reconciled in the input, creating uncertainty about workforce composition.
