Putting Customers First
Iron Horse Security was founded with a clear mission: to provide the highest calibre of security, investigative, and training services through a people-first approach. Since opening our doors in 1994 with just two employees, we’ve grown into one of Canada’s most trusted and recognized security firms, now employing over 2,200 dedicated professionals and proudly serving more than 170 clients across the Greater Toronto, Ottawa, and Gatineau regions.
Built on People. Driven by Purpose.
At Iron Horse Security, we believe that our people are our greatest strength. We are more than uniforms and patrols; we are a team of professionals working together to protect what matters most to our clients, the public, and one another. Our growth has never been about scale alone. It’s been about staying true to our core belief: our people make the difference.
From front-line guards to leadership, every team member plays a role in delivering superior service. This people-centric philosophy guides every decision, every deployment, and every client interaction, resulting in premium value and lasting relationships.
