Regina sits where the Trans-Canada meets the rail lines and the routes south to the oil patch. Yards near the Global Transportation Hub, warehouses in the north industrial area and lumber yards across the city keep trailers, equipment and fuel outside all night. Secure Defence protects truck yards, warehouses, distribution centres, lumber yards and other industrial sites in Regina, Moose Jaw, Weyburn, Estevan, Swift Current and Yorkton with live video monitoring. Trained, licensed operators watch your cameras in real time and stop theft while it's still starting.
What we do: live video monitoring. We watch your yard 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 Saskatchewan 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.
Regina Police Service reported that crimes against property fell 15.8% in 2025 (SaskToday, citing Regina Police Service year-end figures). That's real progress, but yards are still hit, and one loaded trailer can be worth more than a year of small thefts.
Freight theft is moving the other way. Équité Association says trailer thefts across Canada nearly doubled in 2025 to about 970. Only 44% of stolen trailers were recovered, and just 9% of stolen cargo. Groceries, auto parts and building materials such as copper top the list (Truck News, citing Équité Association).
Picture a distribution yard near the Global Transportation Hub at 2 am in February. A pickup stops at the back fence and two people start cutting the chain link next to a row of loaded trailers.
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.

and the yards around them.
often with stretches that have no power.
Cargo theft and trailer break-ins: pallets, packaged goods, sealed trailers and containers.
Equipment and machinery theft: forklifts, loaders, power tools and rental equipment.
Fuel theft from trucks, reefers and yard tanks.
Perimeter breaches such as cut fences and forced gates.
Copper and metal theft: wiring, coils, catalytic converters and scrap.
Stolen trucks and unauthorized trailer hookups.
Trespassing, illegal dumping, vandalism and graffiti.
Fire: fire and smoke detection gives early warning at warehouses and lumber yards.
Yard monitoring with live operators, perimeter protection, gate access control with time-based codes and audit trails, LPR at the gate, GPS and cargo tracking for trailers that leave, off-grid units for yards with no power, and fire and smoke detection. Access control decides who gets in, and cameras show what they do once inside. That matters because, as Équité has warned, falsified paperwork has been used to get drivers into yards.
One monthly fee covers the equipment, installation, maintenance and live monitoring.
Your local rep walks the site with you and sends a recommended layout and quote within 24 to 48 hours.
Existing cameras can usually be connected to our command centre the same day.
Our technician installs pole cameras, speakers and strobes around your shipping schedule. Pole-camera sites go live in 5 to 7 days.
Remote yards and corners with no power get a solar tower within 24 hours. Each tower carries 4 to 8 cameras, and the battery lasts 2 weeks without sun, winter included. See off-grid solutions.
All our equipment is rated to -40 C, and every powered site gets a 24-hour backup power system. We keep 30 to 90 days of video and can search across all your cameras in under 5 seconds.
Clients save up to 70% compared with on-site guards, and one operator watching every camera covers more of a big yard than a guard on foot. Guards are still available as a secondary option for a high-value load or a shutdown. The service is insurance-approved, and our 30-Day Performance Guarantee lets you see the results before you commit.
