No. In Alberta, most security guard roles are unarmed. Guards are trained to handle situations using communication, observation, and de-escalation techniques — not force. If a role ever involves specialized equipment or higher-risk duties, you’ll receive specific training and proper licensing before being assigned.

XGard focuses on professional security and peace of mind, not luxury for its own sake. That said, we do provide a premium level of professionalism, appearance, and service quality. Our guards are trained to present themselves respectfully and ensure that clients, guests, and venues experience a safe and comfortable environment.

Every guard goes through a strict screening and background check. We hire only licensed professionals under Alberta’s Security Services and Investigators Act. After joining, each guard receives orientation, site-specific training, and ongoing refreshers to stay up to date with best practices in safety, communication, and emergency response.

XGard currently operates in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and nearby regions. We continue to expand across Alberta, providing on-site, mobile, and event security for residential, commercial, and industrial clients.
