Security Built Around Port Coquitlam's Industries
Port Coquitlam packs a large industrial and rail footprint against established residential neighbourhoods, and that adjacency drives most of what we are called for.
Industrial & Rail-Adjacent Yards
The Dominion and Kingsway industrial areas and the rail corridor stage equipment, materials and freight overnight, and rail-adjacent yards are a standing target for copper, tooling and fuel. We cover gate and fence integrity, randomized GPS-logged interior sweeps, verification against the previous shift, and same-shift photo reporting.
Trucking, Warehousing & Distribution
Warehouse and distribution operations need controlled access more than they need a roving patrol. We provide gate posts with vehicle and driver verification against your manifest or contractor list, documented entry and exit logs, dock-area monitoring, and daily auditable reporting.
Strata, Multi-Family & Residential
Port Coquitlam's multi-family and strata stock faces package theft, parkade incidents, fob and visitor access problems, noise and bylaw disputes. We provide access and fob control, parkade and common-area sweeps, and the documented incident trail a strata council needs when escalating a problem tenant or filing a claim.
Retail, Construction & Fire Watch
The Lougheed and Shaughnessy commercial corridors need retail loss prevention and after-hours checks. We also provide overnight construction guards, access control, and fire watch when sprinkler or alarm systems are impaired and continuous documented rounds are required before reoccupancy.

Response & Coverage in Port Coquitlam
Port Coquitlam is inside our core Lower Mainland coverage, alongside Coquitlam and Port Moody, with marked patrol vehicles already moving through the Tri-Cities overnight rather than being called in from outside the region.
That is what keeps alarm-response and escalation times short, and it means we can typically place an unarmed uniformed guard on a Port Coquitlam site same-day for urgent coverage — post-break-in, post-fire-alarm, or when a sprinkler system goes offline and your insurer requires immediate fire watch.
Dispatch is staffed 24/7 at +1 (236) 867-3519, and our officers provide service in English and Punjabi.

Security Services in Port Coquitlam — Common Questions
How much do security guards cost in Port Coquitlam?
Rates depend on post type, shift length, guard count, and whether coverage is overnight, weekend or statutory holiday. A gate post at a distribution yard prices differently from a strata concierge shift or a construction overnight. We quote per site after a free assessment rather than publishing a flat hourly rate that would not reflect your actual risk — call 236-867-3519.
Are your Port Coquitlam security guards licensed?
Yes. Every officer holds a valid Security Worker Licence issued by BC's Security Programs Division under the Security Services Act, 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.
Can you provide same-day or emergency security in Port Coquitlam?
In most cases yes. Because we run overnight patrol coverage through the Tri-Cities, we can usually place an urgent guard the same day — common after a break-in, a fire system going offline, a terminated-employee situation, or an insurer demanding immediate fire watch. Call dispatch directly rather than using the web form for anything urgent.
Do you provide gate and access control for warehouses in Port Coquitlam?
Yes, and it is one of the most common requirements we see given the Dominion and Kingsway industrial concentration. Officers verify every vehicle and driver against your manifest or approved contractor list, log entries and exits with times, monitor dock areas, control after-hours access, and produce a daily auditable record.
Do you work with strata councils in Port Coquitlam?
Yes. Strata coverage includes fob and visitor access control, parkade and common-area sweeps, package-theft deterrence, noise and bylaw incident response, and the timestamped photo-backed incident trail a strata council needs when escalating a problem tenant or filing an insurance claim.
What other Tri-Cities and Lower Mainland communities do you serve?
We serve the full Lower Mainland and the wider province. Nearby coverage includes Coquitlam, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge and Burnaby.
