Benefits of Hiring Neighbourhood Watch Services

The collaborative efforts between homeowners and professional security guards create a powerful deterrent to criminal activity. By hiring neighbourhood watch security guards, you are being proactive, and this proactive approach will make you and your fellow neighbours more safe. Being proactive also means activating neighbourhood accountability, meaning you will give notice to your fellow neighbouring communities that they too should take responsibility for protecting the area.

Security guards can not only prevent crime but also offer valuable advice on personal safety and home security, empowering residents with the knowledge to safeguard their properties. By signing up for an organized neighbourhood watch program, you will learn methods and techniques that prevent crime, empowering you to safeguard on your own terms.

Do I Really Need Neighbourhood Watch? 

Yes, you do. Crime in the GTA and Toronto has risen, with Statistics Canada reporting a 15% increase in crime occurrences in 2022.
