When a Fraser Valley plaza closes, the risk moves outside. Parking lots, loading docks, back lanes and dark storefronts are where most of the damage happens overnight. Secure Defence protects shopping centres, strip malls, big-box stores, standalone outlets, convenience stores and gas stations in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, Langley and Maple Ridge with live video monitoring. Trained, licensed operators watch your cameras in real time and stop trouble before it reaches your doors.
What we do: live video monitoring. We watch your property as things happen and stop crime while it's still starting.
How we do it: smart cameras that detect people and vehicles, paired with trained, licensed operators in our own command centre in Richmond, BC, 24/7.
Your local team: a Lower Mainland salesperson who plans your coverage and a technician who installs and services your system.
Where we work: all of Western Canada, including BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Track record: 11 years in business, award-winning, and named the Fastest Growing Security Company in Canada on The Globe and Mail and BIV lists for 2025 and 2026. 500+ businesses served and 1,000+ sites monitored across Western Canada.
The Abbotsford Police Department attended 178 business break and enters in 2025, and 72 more in just the first five months of 2026. Two of those were overnight break-ins at businesses on Townline Road and Peardonville Road in May (Abbotsford Police Department, June 9, 2026 release).
That pace is ahead of last year's. For a plaza owner, each one means a smashed door, a tenant who can't open on time and an insurance file. Plazas along the Fraser Highway, South Fraser Way and Lougheed Highway often back onto dark lanes and empty lots, which gives someone time to work on a door unseen. A live operator closes that gap.
Picture a neighbourhood plaza in Abbotsford at 3 am. Someone walks behind the building and starts working on the rear door of a pharmacy with a pry bar.
Our cameras flag the movement the moment it starts. An operator in our command centre sees the live picture within seconds. The operator speaks through the speaker and tells them they are on camera and police are being called. If they keep going, the siren and strobes go off. With a crime confirmed, the operator calls for Verified Police Response with a description, the vehicle and its direction of travel, and stays on the line until police arrive.
That's a 1-minute verified response. Because a person checks every alert, there are zero false alarms. Our clients see 98%+ overall crime reduction. More on our live video monitoring page.

Shopping centres have many people to keep informed. We can send incident reports to the property manager, the tenant affected and your insurer, so everyone sees the same video and notes. Tenants get fewer smashed doors and cleaner mornings, and managers get a clear record for claims and lease conversations.
