CrowdControl.ca provides event security guards in Cambridge, ON. All guards hold valid Ministry of the Solicitor General (PSISA) licences (40+ hours training). Events over 250 attendees require a security plan under AGCO regulations. Rapid deployment available across the Cambridge area.
Key Takeaways:
Event security guards are the foundation of safe events across Canada. Whether you are organizing a corporate conference in Toronto, a music festival in Vancouver, or a private gala in Montreal, licensed security guards provide on-the-ground protection, access management, and incident response.
Every security guard deployed through CrowdControl.ca holds a valid licence issued by their province of operation. Canada does not have a national security licence — each province regulates independently, and cross-provincial deployment requires separate licences in each jurisdiction.
| Province | Requirement | Training Hours | Regulator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ontario | PSISA Ministry-approved program | 40 hours | Ministry of the Solicitor General |
| Quebec | BSP-recognized institution | 70 hours | Bureau de la sécurité privée |
| BC | Justice Institute of BC | 40 hours | Security Programs Division |
| Alberta | ABST program | Varies | Registrar of Security Services |
Guards working at events where alcohol is served must also hold Smart Serve certification (Ontario) or Service Responsable (Quebec). This is in addition to — not a replacement for — their provincial security licence.
The type of security personnel you need depends on your event profile. Uniformed guards provide visible deterrence and are best for concerts, festivals, and public events where attendees expect a security presence. Plainclothes officers blend with guests and are preferred for galas, corporate dinners, and private celebrations where discretion matters.
For events with more than 500 attendees, we recommend a security supervisor on site to coordinate the team, liaise with venue management, and serve as the primary contact for police and fire services.
All security providers in the CrowdControl.ca network carry:
| Guard Type | Hourly Rate | Best For |
