About us
There are over 140,000 licensed security guards in Canada.
These professionals safeguard our workplaces, residences, healthcare and entertainment facilities.
It’s a role that is integral to our day-to-day lives, even in adversity.
That’s why we’re committed to celebrating the front-line heroes among us.
Our Objectives
Celebrate examples where security professionals’ direct actions resulted in saving an individual’s life and that without such immediate intervention those individuals would most certainly perish.
Enhance the public perception around the professionalism of the private security industry.
Promote positive discussions around collaboration between Government, Law Enforcement and Private Industry.
Their efforts often go beyond the role of ‘policing and enforcement’. There are countless examples of unrecognized incidents in which security personnel, through their direct actions, have saved individuals lives.
Established in 2019 by Paragon Security, the Canadian Security Lifesaver Association® is a non-profit organization that seeks to recognize these security professionals and raise awareness of their significant contributions to Canadians.
The organization has expanded its membership to include several leading Canadian security companies, all of whom are collaborating in a non-partisan and non-competitive effort.
CSLA Board
