Headquartered in Toronto.
Operating wherever you are.

From close protection on home ground to operations across borders, the standard never moves — the plan travels with you.

Capabilities

Seven disciplines. One standard.

From close protection to mobile patrol, every engagement is run to the same intelligence-led standard — planned, executed, and accountable.

How we operate

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We learn your exposure, your objectives, and how you actually operate — before we propose anything.

  2. 02

    Operational Plan

    Threat and risk analysis becomes a comprehensive, executable security strategy. Pre-planning is 80% of protection.

  3. 03

    Execution

    Vetted operators deliver the plan with discretion, adjusting in real time as the situation demands.

Event Security Management

Tens of thousands of people. One plan that holds.

Crowd flow, access control, and contingency, engineered before the doors open. The only thing anyone remembers is the event.

  • Access control & credentialing
  • Crowd management & emergency egress
  • Command, comms & contingency planning
The Empire standard

Three things every engagement gets.

Trained beyond the licence

Licensing is the baseline. On average, Empire personnel complete roughly 80% more training than the industry standard: de-escalation, situational awareness, conflict management, and Stop the Bleed / active-threat response.

Real-time reporting

Reporting runs through a secure mobile platform with real-time updates: documented observations, images, and relevant video — visibility into your site without being there.

Supervised & accountable

Performance is actively managed. Supervisory oversight, documentation review, and routine site engagement keep every assignment consistent.

Where to start

What are you protecting?

Tell us the shape of the risk — we'll point you to the right response.

Protection that travels with you.

Close protection calibrated to how you actually live and move — at home, in transit, and across borders.

  • Domestic & international close protection
  • Secure transportation & advance work
  • Discreet, vetted operators

When exposure carries consequence, preparation isn't optional.

Speak directly with an operator. No call centre, no script — a confidential first conversation about what you're protecting.

Professional Services Firm
The team was professional from start to finish. We brought Empire in to support a multi-day executive visit with several moving parts. They stayed organized, communicated well with our team, and handled everything without us having to worry about it.
