Indigenous-Focused Security Staffing
GPS Security Group provides Aboriginal security guard services for camps, facilities, pipelines and oil and gas operations across Alberta. Our approach connects professional site security with training, employment and commercial participation for Indigenous partners.
Indigenous Participation In Security
Organizations responsible for camps, facilities and pipeline projects need security personnel who understand the operating environment and the responsibilities of protecting people, equipment and infrastructure.
GPS Security Group brings security experience to these projects while supporting Indigenous participation through training, employment and job placement opportunities. This includes GPS's published work with the North Eastern Settlements Alliance, known as NESA, and its experience employing Indigenous security officers in Alberta's oil and gas sector.
For organizations evaluating Indigenous security services in Alberta, GPS can discuss the required security work, project location, staffing needs and available Indigenous participation for the contract.
Where We Have Experience
Security personnel can support access control, property protection and site-specific requirements of workforce and remote camps.
GPS has experience connected to security contracts for facilities requiring trained personnel and dependable site coverage.
Pipeline work was one of the contract areas identified through GPS's published partnership with NESA.
GPS has employed senior Indigenous security officers with experience working in Alberta's oil and gas sector.
GPS has offered onsite and offsite training to members of participating Indigenous communities.
GPS has connected community members to security-related employment and job placement opportunities.
Partnership With Métis Communities
GPS Security Group's published joint venture with NESA focused on security contracts for camps, facilities and pipeline work. It was established to connect professional security services with training, employment and commercial opportunities for four North East Métis communities.
For a prospective client, the relevance of this model depends on the project. Organizations may consider it when they require security services that have Indigenous participation objectives connected to employment, training or community involvement.
Partnership status, personnel availability and geographic coverage can change. Before selecting a provider, ask GPS to confirm the current arrangement, available security personnel, service area and Indigenous participation options for your project.
