Guardians of British Columbia
Zampa Security Services Ltd. Protecting communities with integrity, around the clock.
From Local Roots to BC Leaders
Zampa Security Services Ltd. was founded with a clear purpose: to protect what matters most people, property, and peace of mind. What began as a small local operation rooted in community values has rapidly grown into a trusted name in British Columbia's security industry. Built on hard work, integrity, and a passion for safety, we started by serving small businesses and construction sites.
Today, Zampa Security Services Ltd. is proud to serve a wide range of clients across BC from retail plazas and hospitals to industrial sites and residential communities. We have grown into a dynamic team of trained professionals equipped with the tools, vehicles, and technology needed to deliver exceptional protection 24/7. What sets us apart is not just our growth, but our dedication to personal attention.

About Zampa Security — Common Questions
Is Zampa Security licensed and insured in British Columbia?
Yes. Zampa Security Services Ltd. operates as a licensed security business under British Columbia's Security Services Act, and every officer we deploy holds a valid BC security worker licence. We also carry full liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage. We are happy to provide certificates of insurance before a contract starts — most commercial and property-management clients ask for them, and you should.
Where is Zampa Security based, and how far do you travel?
Our base is Quesnel, BC, and we provide coverage across British Columbia — from the Lower Mainland through the Okanagan, Thompson–Nicola, Cariboo, Vancouver Island and the North. See the full list of service areas. If your site sits outside a city we list, call us anyway: travel is a line item we can quote, not an automatic no.
How quickly can you put guards on a site?
For most of British Columbia we can arrange same-day or next-day coverage, and urgent requirements such as fire watch after a sprinkler or alarm system goes offline are treated as emergencies. Call +1-236-867-3519 rather than emailing if the need is immediate.
What kinds of clients do you work with?
Commercial property, retail, construction, industrial and warehouse sites, corporate offices, campuses, strata and residential communities, and event organisers. The industries page breaks down how the approach changes by sector — a retail floor and a fenced construction yard need very different officers and very different instructions.
How is pricing worked out?
Hourly for static and uniformed coverage; per visit for mobile patrol. The rate depends on guard count, hours, site complexity, and whether coverage is overnight, weekend or statutory holiday. Quotes are free and firm — we assess the site first rather than quoting blind off a phone call.
What happens during an incident on my site?
Officers follow a written post order agreed with you in advance, so there is no improvising about when to call police versus when to call you. Every incident produces a timestamped report with photographs where relevant, written to a standard you can hand to your insurer or head office without rewriting it.
Do you provide guards for one-off or short-term needs?
Yes. Single events, a few nights of coverage during a renovation, holiday retail periods and short-term fire watch are all normal work for us. There is no minimum contract length, though longer and multi-site arrangements are priced more favourably.
