Professional Services
A Delta-based security contractor offering licensed guards, mobile patrols, event coverage, alarm response and video monitoring, with Chilliwack among the eighteen Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley communities it lists as service areas.
Security contracting is one of the trades where a company's office address matters less than its coverage map, and this entry is a case in point. Guarding is dispatched, not walked into, and the firms that cover the Fraser Valley are as often based down the corridor as in it. Potential Security works out of 11657 88 Ave in North Delta and appears on a Chilliwack directory as a business that serves the area from outside it, not as one trading from a Chilliwack address. There is no local storefront to visit, so anyone wanting a face to face conversation is arranging it rather than dropping in.
The work is contract security in the ordinary sense. The company's own material sets out uniformed guards for residential, commercial and industrial property, mobile patrols, event and venue coverage, alarm response, remote video monitoring, parking enforcement, loss prevention and traffic control, plus camera and access technology and a managed cybersecurity line. Guards are described as licensed and trained. British Columbia licenses security workers and the businesses that employ them under the Security Services Act, and a prospective client is entitled to ask which licences apply to the people who would actually be on site.
Chilliwack is one of eighteen communities with a service page on the company's website, a list that runs from Squamish to Hope, so the valley is part of the stated coverage rather than an incidental mention. What a coverage list cannot tell you is response time, and at this distance that is the figure worth pinning down, particularly for mobile patrol and alarm callouts. It is also worth asking whether a site would be held by a guard posted to it or covered by a vehicle working a wider route, because the two arrangements read the same on paper and behave very differently at three in the morning. The published number is 604 799 3575.
Based outside Chilliwack and serves it as part of a wider area, so this is a call-out service rather than somewhere to visit.
