CLIENT PROFILE
Mobile Patrol Drivers operate eco-friendly
patrol vehicles equipped with advanced
GPS tracking devices supported by a trained
Mobile Patrol Supervisor 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. They also perform
periodic security checks and general patrol
services at times determined by client needs.
Home Watch is an increasingly popular
service due to individuals leaving for
vacation for extended periods of time, and
offers scheduled checkups. That can include
interior and exterior checks, inspections
of heating and water systems, garages
and appliances, and even mail pickup and
watering plants.
Footprints Security has 35 vehicles in its fleet to serve Vancouver Island
Security Training for the industry, which
means security workers with the proper
training can use handcuffs for restraining
individuals if necessary. A loss prevention
store detective might be the position that
would need to use that the most, if at all.
Footprints Security holds certification
for ISO 9001:2015 for Total Quality
Management, which includes structured
quality control and monitoring of ongoing
management improvement programs.
“Our adherence to the principles of
ISO ensures that we are continually
reassessing our clients’ needs, and
adjusting our services where required,
based on our customized ISO database,”
he notes.
ASIS International Board Certification
acknowledges the company’s mastery
of core security principles and skills
essential to the best practices of security
management, and Footprints has
completed the Climate Smart (Lean and
Green) program to become fully certified.
“We are now identified as a leading
organization that tracks and takes action
to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions,”
Simon states. “By discovering ways to
reduce our carbon footprint, we are
socially conscious.”
Of the services offered by Footprints,
uniformed and plain clothes security
professionals are the most visible,
deterring illegal activity and safeguarding
assets and individuals from harm.
They are effective at high occurrence sites
like construction sites, shopping centres,
strip malls, office buildings, warehouses
and industrial buildings, as well as homes.
They help prevent vehicle theft, theft of
merchandise or capital, vandalism, robbery,
trespassing and other criminal activity.
“Our security professionals monitor premises,
escort personnel, and are an overall presence
to deter illegal activity,” Simon points out.
“Our team members can also act as reliable
witnesses, appearing before courts to ensure
justice is served.”
Plain clothes security provides covert
protection of people and property, while the
mobile patrol security units are more costeffective
solutions to reduce risk to client
sites and property.
“STATISTICS SHOW THAT
A RESIDENCE IS THREE
TIMES MORE LIKELY TO
BE BROKEN INTO AND
INVADED WITHOUT
ANY HOME SECURITY,”
COLLERY STATES.
Special Event Security is designed for private
and public events with either uniformed
or plain clothes security, including for high
profile individuals. It is suitable for concerts,
music festivals, arenas and sporting centres,
school events, corporate functions, political
events and weddings.
Guest Services staff are SuperHost trained,
and there is also Concierge for door
watching at events, as well as First Aid
Attendants.
The wide array of services offered has
contributed to Footprints Security’s growth,
but Collery is a strong believer that it is the
people within the company that ultimately
makes the difference.
“Our people and the reputations they earn
provides us with consistency day in and day
out, and we constantly hear good things
about our people,” he says. “If we lose some
business or don’t get it right away, we often
get it back. We enjoy what we’re doing, and
we hope to keep doing it for another 40 plus
years.”
