PROTECTION SERVICES FOR A CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT
Paladin provides security officer services for institutions ranging from small satellite campuses to large, urban universities. We understand that each facility presents its own unique set of challenges and cultural features, and so our selection process is tailored to fit your institution with the right security team.
Securing millions of students across North America, we recognize that campus risk factors can vary depending upon location and type of campus, as well as the layout and student body makeup. Our security services focus on open-structured buildings, parking lots, vehicle threats, food and drink establishments, property theft risks, student misconduct, and campus property and trespasser threats to maintain safety and security while supporting a learning environment.

SECURITY AND EMERGENCY PLANNING FOR COLLEGES
Whenever we begin a new contract, we conduct a comprehensive security risk assessment before initiating formal security staff services. This assessment is multi-focused, with an emphasis on crime data, facility and staff security concerns, facility layouts, and historical security concerns. This is one of the many ways we tailor our security program to your institution.
OFFICERS WHO UNDERSTAND CAMPUS SECURITY
Our esteemed screening, selection, and training processes ensure that every officer is trained and equipped to handle anything they might encounter while patrolling your campus. From counter-terrorism training and prevention to events and activities, and even media training, our officers are prepared for any situation that may arise at your institution with a customer service-focused approach. We understand that colleges and universities are places where students learn and make memories, and security should promote that environment. That is why our officers receive mental health first aid or ASSIST training to support rather than enforce.
British Columbia Institute of Technology is one of BC's largest post-secondary institutions in Vancouver that offers courses and programs in technology, trades, engineering, business, and health.
