When something happens
Deter, observe, call, write it down
Guards are there to prevent problems and get the right people moving fast when one starts.
Deter
A visible, uniformed guard on post and on patrol stops most problems before they start.
Observe
If something is going on, the guard keeps a safe distance and notes who, what, when and which way they went.
Call
For anything urgent the guard calls 911 first, then your on-call contact. You hear about it during the shift, not the next day.
Document
A written incident report with times, descriptions and plates, ready for your insurer or the police.
Security guards in BC are not police officers. They have the same arrest powers as any citizen, so our guards focus on deterring, observing and calling for help rather than confronting people.

Questions
What clients ask before booking
Based in Abbotsford. We cover sites and events across the Fraser Valley.
AbbotsfordChilliwackLangleyAldergroveMissionSurrey
Are your guards licensed?
Yes. MK Security is a provincially licensed security business, and every guard who works for us must hold a valid BC Security Worker Licence.
Are you insured?
We carry $5 million in liability insurance and are registered with WorkSafeBC and in good standing. We can send proof of coverage with your quote.
How is pricing worked out?
Security is billed hourly per guard. The rate depends on the hours, the number of guards, overnight or holiday shifts and whether a supervisor is needed. You get a written quote to approve before anything is booked.
How much notice do you need?
For ongoing schedules, a week is ideal. For one-off or short-notice shifts, call us. We fill them when we have guards available.
What happens if there's an incident?
The guard calls 911 if it's urgent, then your on-call contact, and writes an incident report with times and details. You hear about it during the shift.
Can I reach you after hours?
Yes. Our phone at (778) 241-9449 is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for urgent bookings and anything happening on your site.
Will we get the same guards each time?
For ongoing sites we try to keep the same guards so they learn the site, the people and the routine.
Can you clean the site as well?
Yes. Our sister company, MK Building Maintenance, handles janitorial, floor care and event cleaning, so one call covers both.
One family, two companies
MK Building Maintenance has cleaned Fraser Valley facilities since 1999. MK Security adds guards to the same sites and events, so one call covers both.
