One Day in Aurora
Two tracks, one provider
Aurora’s needs change with the clock. Read the day track on the left and the night track on the right — each stop names the service that does the work.
07:30
Campus mornings
Aurora’s school landscape includes independent schools — St. Andrew’s College on Yonge Street and St. Anne’s School on St. John’s Sideroad among them — as well as public campuses. At any school, open houses, tournaments and graduation nights bring crowds of visitors who need directing and checking in.
Event security →19:30
Downtown locks up
Shops and restaurants around Yonge and Wellington close, and the heritage streets of Northeast Old Aurora go quiet. A patrol route checks doors, rear lanes and parking behind the storefronts on varied timings.
Mobile patrol →10:00
Front desks in the 404 parks
The 2C lands between Highway 404 and Leslie Street are a growing employment area with new offices and industrial buildings. New buildings need visitor sign-in, contractor control and a uniformed presence in the lobby.
Security guards →22:00
Alarm calls near the interchanges
Warehouses and units close to the Wellington Street and Bloomington Road interchanges sit empty overnight. When a panel trips, we dispatch immediately and a licensed guard checks the perimeter before anyone else drives out.
Alarm response →13:00
Downtown retail at its busiest
Aurora Town Square, opened in 2024, links the library and the Aurora Cultural Centre just off historic Yonge Street. Independent retailers and plaza tenants get loss-prevention guards who know theft patterns and keep a polite, firm presence.
Retail security →01:00
Eyes on the yards
Trailer lots, equipment yards and loading docks in the employment lands are hard to light and harder to staff all night. Live camera monitoring flags movement and sends a guard when something is wrong.
CCTV & video monitoring →16:00
House-watch rounds
In estate pockets around Bathurst Street and St. John’s Sideroad, and in the White Rose area near Leslie Street and Bloomington Road, owners away on business or holiday book scheduled visits that check doors, windows and signs of entry, with a photo report each time.
House watch →04:00
Before the crews arrive
A last round of each construction site under way in Aurora’s new employment and residential areas, with photos, so the site supervisor knows the status of fences, containers and equipment before the first trade arrives.

Aurora FAQs, in conversation
Downtown shop ownerCan the same company guard our Yonge Street store in the day and answer our alarm at night?
Secure 24 SevenYes — that is one of the main reasons Aurora owners use us. A retail guard can cover your busiest hours, and the same account handles alarm response overnight, so incident reports from both arrive in one place with photos.
School events coordinatorDo you provide guards for campus events like open houses or graduations?
Secure 24 SevenWe do. Event guards can manage parking, welcome and direct visitors, watch entrances and stay until the grounds are cleared. All our guards are PSISA-licensed and trained in First Aid and CPR.
Facility managerWe are moving into a new building near Highway 404. When should security start?
Secure 24 SevenIdeally before the move — fit-out and moving weeks are when doors are propped open and deliveries arrive unannounced. We can start with construction-phase patrols, then shift to a lobby guard or after-hours patrol once you are operating.
Property managerDoes a mobile patrol actually check doors, or just drive past?
Secure 24 SevenOur patrols get out of the car. Guards physically test doors and gates, walk the perimeter and note lights, damage or vehicles that should not be there. Each stop is GPS-tracked and logged in your report.
