Security Built Around Fort St. John's Industries
Fort St. John security work is dominated by energy and heavy construction, where the asset at risk is usually mobile, expensive, and sitting on an unlit lease road overnight.
Oil & Gas Lease Sites
Wellheads, batteries, compressor stations and lease roads are exposed to copper and catalytic theft, fuel siphoning, tampering and unauthorised entry — often far from the nearest occupied building. Our officers staff gate access, verify every vehicle and operator onto site, log entries and exits against your contractor list, and run documented perimeter checks on a schedule your prime contractor can audit.
Construction Camps & Workforce Housing
Camp security is as much about order inside the fence as intrusion from outside it. We provide gatehouse staffing, visitor and contractor sign-in, after-hours patrol of accommodation and kitchen blocks, and documented incident reporting on disputes and policy breaches — the written trail a camp manager needs when escalating.
Heavy Equipment & Laydown Yards
Pipe racks, iron, generators and tooling staged in Fort St. John yards are a standing target, and a single loader or welder loss runs well into six figures. We cover gate integrity, randomized GPS-logged interior sweeps, and verification that equipment is where the previous shift left it, with photos filed the same shift.
Commercial, Retail & Fire Watch
The 100th Street and Alaska Highway commercial corridors need standard uniformed and loss-prevention coverage. We also provide fire watch for buildings whose sprinkler or alarm systems are impaired during renovation or after a fault — documented timed rounds with the written log that compliance requires.

Response & Coverage in Fort St. John
Fort St. John is served on a planned, contracted basis. The Peace Region is a long way from our Quesnel head office, so we are straight with clients about this: we staff Fort St. John work by mobilizing and placing officers for the contract rather than by holding idle patrol capacity in the city. That is how most providers genuinely operate this far north, whatever their website says.
In practice that means scheduled coverage — lease site access control, camp gatehouse, yard patrols, planned fire watch — is something we can resource reliably, with the start date agreed in advance. For a true same-hour emergency callout in Fort St. John, call dispatch and we will tell you honestly what we can place and when, rather than accept the job and arrive late.
Dispatch is staffed 24/7 at +1 (236) 867-3519, and our officers provide service in English and Punjabi.

Security Services in Fort St. John — Common Questions
How much does oil and gas site security cost in Fort St. John?
Energy-sector posts price differently from commercial work: they typically involve longer rotations, remote access, site-specific orientation and sometimes H2S or confined-space awareness requirements. Cost depends on rotation length, guard count, whether the post is gate access or roving, and travel to the lease. We quote per site after a free assessment — call 236-867-3519 for a firm number.
Are your Fort St. John security guards licensed?
Yes. Every officer holds a valid BC Security Worker Licence issued under the Security Services Act by the Security Programs Division, and Zampa Security Services Ltd. carries full commercial liability insurance with WorkSafeBC coverage. Licence verification and certificates of insurance are provided on request before a contract starts, which prime contractors in the Peace typically require at prequalification.
How quickly can you deploy to a Fort St. John site?
For scheduled contracts — lease access control, camp gatehouse, yard coverage, planned fire watch — we agree a start date and resource it properly. We do not claim same-day emergency placement in the Peace Region the way we can in the Cariboo, because the distance from our Quesnel base makes that dishonest. Call dispatch and we will tell you what is genuinely placeable and when.
Do you provide gate and access control for lease sites?
Yes, and it is the service most requested of us in the Peace. Officers verify every vehicle and person onto site against your approved contractor list, log entries and exits with times, control after-hours access, and produce a daily record your prime contractor or safety lead can audit. This is also the post type that most often satisfies an operator's own security requirement.
Can you staff construction camps and workforce housing?
Yes. Camp posts cover gatehouse and sign-in, after-hours patrol of accommodation and common blocks, response to disputes and policy breaches, and written incident reporting. The documentation matters as much as the presence — camp managers need a defensible record when escalating conduct issues or filing an insurance claim.
What other Peace Region communities do you serve?
We serve the full Peace and the wider province. Nearby coverage includes Dawson Creek, along with Taylor, Charlie Lake, Chetwynd and Hudson's Hope on a contracted basis.
