Parking lot and parkade security in Metro Vancouver

We patrol surface lots and underground parkades for strata buildings, shopping plazas, office towers and commercial lots across the Lower Mainland. Our guards patrol to deter vehicle break-ins, trespassing and illegal dumping, and enforce parking rules on the owner's behalf.

Empty parkade level, Vancouver

What a parkade patrol checks

Every level, every stairwell and the storage rooms. The guard checks that gates and overhead doors close behind cars, looks for broken windows and people who shouldn't be there, and notes cars parked in the wrong stalls.

Parking enforcement support

Our security personnel assist property owners and managers with parking enforcement, monitoring unauthorized activity, documenting trespass incidents, and coordinating vehicle towing where authorized and permitted by applicable laws and regulations.

What you get afterwards

Reporting is tailored to the property. Patrol and incident reports can include photos of damage, dumping and repeat vehicles, so the property manager can show council or the owner what is going on.

  • Checks on gates, doors and overhead doors
  • Trespass incidents documented for the property owner
