Paragon is a Strategic Ally for Campus Safety, Facilities, and Operations Teams
As a campus or facilities manager, you’re tasked with keeping a diverse, high-traffic learning environment safe, inclusive, and well-run. With so many spaces, lecture halls, residences, libraries, and event venues, that’s a serious challenge.
With 40+ years of experience protecting Ontario’s colleges and universities, we understand the complexity of campus life, where public access, student freedom, and school reputation all intersect with security needs.
Your campus is more than property, it’s a community. Our tailored safety programs protect without disrupting the openness that defines your culture. Our guards serve not just as security, but as trusted ambassadors of your campus values, supporting inclusion, respect, and safety.
From residences to dining halls, libraries to arenas, we deliver quality service backed by proven systems and people who understand campus life. We’re also by your side for events, protests, move-ins, and more, so you can focus on student and staff success.
Before and After
Campuses are complex. You need firm yet welcoming security. As a campus or facilities manager, you’re balancing openness with safety every day. Paragon brings experience, empathy, and professionalism to protect your community, and elevate your security program.
Before
With Paragon
Guard Uniforms
Before
Inconsistent or informal uniforms confuse students and lower security visibility.
With Paragon
Clearly marked, campus-appropriate uniforms build trust and enhance authority across diverse learning environments.
Scheduling & Staffing
Before
Irregular coverage during peak hours and event times causes risk.
With Paragon
We provide adaptive scheduling based on class schedules, events, and high-traffic periods to ensure consistent coverage.
Consulting & Strategy
Before
Security plans fail to address campus-specific risks like open access or student protests.
With Paragon
Our assessments consider building layout, public access, and student life dynamics, resulting in targeted, flexible solutions.
Training
Before
Guards lack preparation for student interaction, lockdowns, or emergency drills.
With Paragon
Our training includes mental health awareness, lockdown protocol, and campus-specific de-escalation skills.
Customer Service
Before
Guards appear distant or dismissive, leaving students feeling unsupported.
With Paragon
Friendly, approachable guards help students feel safe, offering directions, escort services, and rapid response to concerns.
Tenant Relations
Before
Security has poor relationships with faculty, staff, and students.
With Paragon
Our guards build cooperative relationships across departments to support safety without disrupting the learning environment.
Board Relations & Reporting
Before
Limited communication with campus administrators.
With Paragon
Transparent reporting and regular security briefings keep leadership aligned with on-the-ground realities.
Site Orders
Before
Protocols are generic or not communicated to rotating staff.
With Paragon
Campus-specific orders are clearly documented, regularly updated, and reviewed with staff on every shift.
Mobile Patrol & Dispatch
Before
Limited coverage after hours leaves campus assets vulnerable.
With Paragon
Our 24/7 patrol and rapid-response dispatch system ensure student safety around the clock.
Peace of Mind
Before
Safety feels uncertain. Guards are unsure how to respond. Incidents escalate instead of calming down.
With Paragon
Security understands people first. Communication leads response. Learning environments stay open, safe, and respected. That’s peace of mind.
