Canasa

The security industry continues to grow and evolve at break-neck speed, but what hasn’t quite kept pace are the regulatory and self-regulatory bodies responsible for governance and compliance within our industry.

Telemarketing companies both domestic and international that solicit for security, continue to ignore CRTC rules and the Canadian DO-NOT-CALL List. Field workers and door knockers have been documented both online and in traditional media, engaging in aggressive sales tactics, locking people into long-term contracts unbeknownst to the client, and/or otherwise disappearing post-installation when service is required by the client.

CANASA (Canadian Security Association) serves not only to be an advocate for our industry—members and clients included—but also to set proper guidelines, protocols, procedures, and best practices, for the industry overall. Security professionals who are CANASA members and service technicians who have completed its respective industry courses, are uniquely qualified and proficient to not only consult on and perform a proper alarm installation, but also to provide you, the client, with peace of mind.  With a CANASA-certified security professional, you can rest assured you have a properly vetted, industry-licensed alarm technician in your home.

Don’t be afraid to ask if your technician is certified, and don’t be afraid to ask for proof.  The future of our industry depends on it!  By only demanding industry certified professionals in your home, you are not only doing your part to help standardize our industry, but also ensuring a quality experience and proper installation of your home or business security system.

Not only is GlobalTek Security a proud CANASA member, but we also hold the esteemed position of sitting on the board of the Golden Horseshoe Council, here in Ontario.
