Security Guard Services in London
London is southwestern Ontario’s regional center, and Northwest Security Inc. provides full coverage across the city. From downtown’s Dundas Place and Richmond Row to the Masonville shopping district, Western University and Fanshawe College campuses to the industrial parks and the growing south end, we deploy uniformed guards, mobile patrols, campus teams and event staff throughout London.
Our southwestern Ontario teams know London as a healthcare, education and insurance hub with a busy downtown core. Every engagement starts with a free risk assessment, backed by our 24/7 control center.
The Security Landscape in London
Downtown London’s Dundas Place, Richmond Row and the Covent Garden Market area need consistent patrol presence for street level challenges, with de escalation trained guards. The Masonville Place mall and the big box corridors along Wellington and Fanshawe Park Road face organized retail crime requiring uniformed deterrence.
Western University and Fanshawe College create significant campus security demand: residence patrols, event support and late night safe walk style programs. The hospital district, anchored by London Health Sciences Centre, needs healthcare adjacent security.
London’s industrial parks and distribution facilities along the 401 corridor need gate control and after hours patrols. The Budweiser Gardens arena and the Western Fair District host major events requiring crowd management.
