The Security Landscape in Slave Lake
The security picture in Slave Lake comes down to forestry and mills, oil and gas operations, tourism and recreation and retail and shopping. Sawmills and forestry yards keep valuable equipment and inventory on large sites, with fire risk that calls for patrols and fire watch.
Oil and gas operations spread well sites, plants and service yards across a wide area, with high value equipment and strict safety rules. Tourism brings seasonal crowds, busy parking areas and overnight activity at campgrounds, marinas and attractions, so coverage has to flex with the calendar. Clients choose the mix they need, from a single overnight patrol route to full time guards, and every shift is supervised and reported through our 24/7 control center.
