How Pivot Security is shaping the future of private security in Canada — one initiative at a time.
Pivot Security is proud to be the first private security company in Toronto to deploy a fleet of fully electric motorcycles for guard patrols. Replacing gas-powered vehicles on regular residential and commercial routes has cut our patrol fleet's carbon emissions by over 80% while reducing operating costs by 35%.
We've integrated drone camera systems directly onto our mobile patrol vehicles, enabling our officers to deploy aerial surveillance within 90 seconds of arriving on scene. In pilot deployments across three Scarborough communities, this approach reduced average incident confirmation time from 12 minutes to under 4 minutes.
Our AI-driven camera systems watch all screens simultaneously — flagging loitering, detecting abandoned objects, and alerting officers before a situation develops. Across six GTA properties, clients recorded a 54% reduction in security incidents and a 41% improvement in officer response times.
Pivot Security partnered with three downtown Toronto office towers to replace legacy card-access systems with multi-factor biometric entry — combining fingerprint and facial recognition at every controlled entry point. Tailgating incidents dropped to zero in the first 60 days.
By layering Toronto Police Service public crime-report data with our own historical incident logs, Pivot Security built a predictive routing model that directs mobile patrol officers to where incidents are most likely to occur. Officers on AI-suggested paths recorded 29% more proactive catches than those on fixed routes.
