Shopping Centre and Retail Security in Regina

When a Regina shopping centre closes, the risk moves outside. Parking lots, loading docks, back lanes and dark storefronts are where most of the damage happens overnight, often on long winter nights with nobody around. Secure Defence protects shopping centres, strip malls, big-box stores, standalone outlets, convenience stores and gas stations 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 trouble before it reaches your doors.

Who we are and how we work

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 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.

What the data shows

Regina Police Service reported that crimes against property fell 15.8% in 2025. The same year-end figures showed bin fires up about 16% (SaskToday, citing Regina Police Service year-end figures). Dumpster and bin fires behind a strip mall can spread to a wall or a loading dock in minutes, which is why early warning matters.

Lower totals are welcome, but a single smashed door or a night of graffiti still costs a tenant a morning of business. The aim is to stop it while it's starting.

How we stop it after hours

Picture a strip mall in north Regina at 2 am in January. Someone walks behind the building, lights a bin beside the loading door and starts working on the lock.

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.

Working with property managers and tenants

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.
