Guards who represent your brand.

Your security guard is the first person visitors see when they walk into your property. That first impression matters. At Lavres, we train guards to do more than watch a door — they greet, they help, they establish a connection. We call it the Lavres standard: firm protection, warm service, every shift.

If your current security sends a different face every week, if your guards stare blankly into space, or if you can’t get anyone on the phone — you’re not getting what you’re paying for.

01 — GUARD SERVICES

Guard services

The core of what we do

Guard services are the foundation of Lavres Safety Security Group. We deploy PSISA-licensed, uniformed guards to protect your property, manage access, and represent your brand to every person who walks through your doors.

What guard services include

01
Static guards. Visible, uniformed presence at fixed posts: entrances, lobbies, loading docks, parking areas. Guards maintain position, monitor activity, and respond with trained de-escalation.
02
Lobby and reception security. Your lobby guard is the front line of your brand. Trained for front-of-house environments where security overlaps with hospitality. They greet, assist, manage deliveries, and handle access control.
03
Access control. Managing who enters your property and tracking movement through secure areas. ID verification, visitor logging, key management, and coordination with building management systems.
04
Overnight protection. Overnight guards conduct rounds, monitor systems, document incidents, and provide visible deterrent through the most vulnerable hours. Same standard as every other shift.
05
Incident documentation. Every incident recorded, reported, and communicated to property management. No gaps, no surprises.

The Lavres guard standard

·
PSISA licensed. Individual licence verified through the Ministry of the Solicitor General before assignment.
·
Professionally uniformed. Clean, branded uniforms that reflect your property’s standards.
·
Hospitality trained. Firm-and-warm: de-escalation, brand representation, communication, customer service.
·
Consistent assignments. The same guards at your property, shift after shift. No revolving door of strangers.
·
Direct reporting. Incident reports, shift summaries, direct communication with management.

02 — PAIN POINTS

What we fix

Six things every property manager has said about security at some point. Here’s what we do about them.

The guards act like bouncers

You hired security to represent your building. Lavres guards lead with hospitality — they de-escalate with conversation, not confrontation. They greet visitors before checking IDs.

Different face every week

High turnover is the norm in security. Most companies treat guards as interchangeable. We don’t. Lavres assigns consistent guards who learn your property, your residents, your routines.

Bad first impression at the lobby

Visitors see your guard before they see you. That’s why we train specifically for brand representation. Lavres guards smile, greet, and ask how someone’s day is going — every shift.

Can’t reach our security company

You shouldn’t chase your security provider for answers. Lavres gives you direct access to management — not a call centre, not an answering service. You reach the person who can fix it.

Guards sleeping in the car

If your guards are checked out, your property is unprotected. Lavres guards maintain active presence through every shift — regular rounds, documented patrols, accountability to you and us.

No one tells me what happened

Most security companies treat overnight as low priority. At Lavres, every shift produces a report. Overnight guards log rounds, note anything unusual, and escalate immediately when needed.

03 — CONCIERGE

Concierge & loss prevention

Security that welcomes and protects

Some properties need guards who do both — manage the guest experience and protect against loss. Lavres concierge security combines front-of-house hospitality with loss prevention training. The guard at your front desk needs to be welcoming enough to put visitors at ease, and sharp enough to spot when something isn’t right.

Where concierge security fits

·
Condo lobbies and residential buildings. Residents deserve a lobby presence that’s welcoming, attentive, professional. Concierge-trained guards manage access, assist residents, handle packages, maintain security.
·
Corporate receptions. Your reception security represents your company to every visitor, client, delivery. We train guards for environments where professionalism, discretion, and brand alignment are non-negotiable.
·
Retail entrances. Retail loss prevention is sensitive. Lavres guards deter theft through presence and engagement, not surveillance and suspicion. We protect your inventory without alienating your customers.

Loss prevention approach

·
Visible, uniformed presence as a deterrent.
·
Trained observation without profiling.
·
Incident documentation and escalation protocols.
·
Coordination with store management on high-risk periods.
·
Focus on protecting assets while preserving the customer experience.

04 — PERSONAL PROTECTION

Personal protection

Discreet, professional, hospitality-first

Personal protection through Lavres is designed for individuals who need close security without the intimidation factor. We protect executives, entertainers, public figures, and individuals in threat situations — with the same firm-and-warm approach that defines all our services.

How personal protection works

·
Assessment. We start with a detailed conversation about your situation, your routine, and your concerns. Every protection assignment is different, and we plan accordingly.
·
Approach. Lavres personal protection is discreet by design. Officers dress appropriately for the environment, maintain a low profile, and create space for you to move naturally through your day.
·
Experience. Arnaldo built his career protecting high-end clientele in Toronto’s hospitality and entertainment environments. That experience is what every Lavres protection officer is trained on.

Who we protect

·
Executives and business leaders.
·
Entertainers and public figures.
·
Individuals facing specific threat situations.
·
High-profile event attendees.
·
Corporate delegations visiting Toronto.

05 — WHY SWITCH

Why switch to Lavres

If you’re considering a change from your current security provider, here’s what switching to Lavres looks like.

Most property managers we talk to have the same story: they started with a company that promised professionalism, got inconsistency instead, and now they’re stuck in a contract they regret. Switching feels disruptive. We make it straightforward — start with a conversation, and we’ll handle the transition without gaps in coverage.

Guards who represent your brand — not warm bodies hired to fill a shift
Consistent assignments — the same faces every shift, not a revolving door
Direct access to management — call and reach a decision-maker, not a queue

09 — FAQ

CommonQuestions

What training do Lavres guards receive?

Every guard goes through our hospitality-first training: de-escalation, brand representation, communication, customer service, the firm-and-warm standard. Guards are trained to greet, engage, and establish a connection. All hold individual PSISA licences, verified before assignment.

Will I get the same guards at my property?

Yes. Consistent guard assignments are core to how we operate. Your guards will know your property, your residents, your routines. We don’t send a different person every week. If staffing changes are needed, we communicate in advance.

How is Lavres different from larger security companies?

We’re founder-led. You get direct access to the person who built the company and trained your guards. Larger firms often treat clients as account numbers. At Lavres, the relationship is personal and the accountability is direct.

Do your guards handle incident reports?

Yes. Every incident is documented, reported to property management, and followed up on. You’ll receive clear reports on what happened, how it was handled, and what actions were taken.

What types of properties do you protect?

Commercial buildings, condos, corporate offices, retail centres, construction sites, healthcare facilities, hospitality venues, cannabis operations, and educational institutions. Home base GTA and Ottawa; we take contracts across Ontario.

What areas do you serve for guard services?

Lavres is based in the Greater Toronto Area and deploys guards across the GTA and Ottawa. We’re available for security contracts province-wide. If your property is outside, get in touch and we’ll confirm availability.

10 — READY WHEN YOU ARE
