Armed Guard Services in Peterborough, Belleville & Kawartha Lakes

Maxama Protection Inc. provides fully licensed armed guard services and armed transportation across Peterborough, Belleville, and the City of Kawartha Lakes. When you’re moving cash, high-value assets, or sensitive goods, you don’t need “security theatre.” You need trained professionals, proper protocols, and a team built for high-risk environments.

If the risk is real, your security should be too.

Who Uses Maxama’s Armed Transportation & Guard Services

Our armed transportation service is built for organizations that require secure handling and movement of valuable goods, including:

  • Government and public-sector organizations
  • Jewelers and high-value retail
  • Medical organizations and controlled-item transport
  • Financial institutions and cash logistics

Whether your priority is theft prevention, chain-of-custody, or high-visibility deterrence, we tailor the approach to match the asset and the environment.

Fully Licensed Armed Guards. Properly Vetted. Properly Trained.

As a full-service private armed security company, Maxama Protection Inc. provides hand-selected armed guards who are fully licensed and trained to perform at a higher operational standard.

Our armed guards complete:

  • Mandatory provincial licensing requirements
  • Maxama internal training courses and protocols
  • Ongoing re-qualification and operational readiness training

Our team operates in compliance with standards and regulations set by Ontario authorities, including the Ministry of Correctional Services and Community Safety and the Chief Firearms Office (CFO) of Ontario. We also ensure our guards are proficient in modern, technology-based security systems used during armed transport and monitoring.

Training Standards That Don’t Cut Corners

Maxama doesn’t just provide armed protection — we train personnel to meet strict internal standards and follow CFO protocols.

Each armed guard completes provincial CFO requirements through in-class education and training before being licensed and approved to serve clients.

Training includes:
  • 5-day Authorization to Carry course
  • Annual in-class re-qualification
  • Semi-annual range days
  • Use of Force training
  • Verbal de-escalation and Mental Health Awareness

Translation: discipline, professionalism, and decision-making under pressure — not bravado.
