Security Considerations in Fredericton
As New Brunswick’s capital, Fredericton combines provincial government buildings, university campuses, hospitals and a compact downtown. Office and institutional sites often need lobby coverage, visitor management and after-hours access control. The Regent Street and Prospect Street retail corridors draw shoppers from across central New Brunswick, with busier periods on weekends, during back-to-school season and through the holidays.
New Brunswick is Canada’s only officially bilingual province, and many sites benefit from officers who can greet visitors and write reports in English or French. The Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival each September brings large crowds downtown. Winters bring heavy snow and freezing rain, and spring runoff along the Saint John River can affect riverside properties, so Post Orders should account for seasonal access and weather procedures.

Supervisors make unannounced site visits, and the McCray Operations Desk answers 24/7/365. Incidents are documented on scene, and clients receive reports in the same format at every location.
New Brunswick Licensing
Security licensing in Canada is set by each province. In New Brunswick, McCray Global Protection operates under the McCray Hybrid Operating Model. A site can be staffed by McCray officers, by officers from vetted partner companies that hold the licenses the province requires, or by both, and McCray manages the program: screening and training standards, supervision, Post Orders, reporting and account management.
Common Questions
Can officers serve visitors in both English and French?
Bilingual officers can be requested for sites that serve the public in both official languages. Language requirements are recorded in the Post Orders so coverage stays consistent across shifts.
How is security guard coverage priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
