Static Security Guard

Introduction: What is a Static Security Guard?

A static security guard is a trained professional who remains stationed at a fixed location—such as the entrance of a building, construction site, office lobby, warehouse, or event venue—to provide continuous safety, visibility, and control. Unlike mobile patrols, which cover multiple locations, static security guards act as a constant presence, monitoring people, property, and assets in real time.

For Alberta businesses, property managers, construction companies, and event organizers, static security guard services are not just an option—they are a core part of risk management and crime prevention strategies. At Alberta Prime Security, we provide highly trained, licensed, and professional static security guards in Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, and across Alberta, ensuring that your site remains safe, secure, and welcoming.

​

Why Are Static Security Guards Important?

1. Visible Crime Deterrence

The most powerful security measure is often prevention. The visible presence of a uniformed guard deters trespassers, vandals, and thieves before they act. Criminals are less likely to target a property that has an active human presence at the gate or entrance.

2. Access Control & Visitor Management

Static guards serve as the first point of contact for visitors, employees, and contractors. They check IDs, verify passes, log entries and exits, and ensure only authorized individuals gain access. This prevents unauthorized entry, insider threats, and liability issues.

3. Rapid Emergency Response

When emergencies occur—such as fire alarms, medical issues, or accidents—static guards are already on site. They can respond immediately, contacting emergency services and guiding people to safety. Their presence saves valuable minutes that can make the difference between safety and disaster.

4. Customer Service & Professional Image

Beyond safety, static guards enhance your business’s professional image. A well-presented, approachable guard at your reception desk or site entrance creates a sense of safety and professionalism for employees, customers, and partners.

5. Protection of Assets & Property

Construction materials, retail goods, vehicles, and sensitive documents are all vulnerable without proper oversight. Static security guards protect your assets, equipment, and confidential spaces from theft or vandalism.

​

Static vs Mobile Security Guards: Which is Right for You?

Many clients ask: “Do I need static security guards, mobile patrols, or both?”

• Static Guards are best for fixed high-risk areas like gates, entrances, lobbies, or construction sites where continuous presence is required.

• Mobile Patrols are ideal for larger properties or multiple sites, where periodic checks and deterrence are more effective.

Most businesses benefit from a combined strategy: static guards at key entry points and mobile patrols for wider coverage.

​

Example Scenarios

Construction Site in Edmonton

A builder is working on a high-rise project. Tools, copper wiring, and machinery are at risk. A static guard at the site entrance prevents unauthorized entry, logs contractors, and ensures no equipment leaves without approval.

Office Tower in Calgary

An office building needs both security and customer service. A static guard manages the reception desk, checks visitor IDs, monitors CCTV, and provides a welcoming presence to tenants.

Retail Store in Red Deer

Shoplifting costs retail stores millions each year. A static guard stationed at entrances and exits reduces theft, manages customer disputes, and provides a safer shopping environment.
