Polo Security Services

We use Polo Security for our Canada events for over 10 years. They have shown up on time. courteous. The office side were just as pleasant to deal with. For 2014 we will continue using their services.

One of the Polo Security Guards parks in my residential building. I have spoken to this man before and he seemed nice. Just last weekend I was driving through the parkade, on my side of the lane, and he came zipping down way over to the right (on my side), just as I was coming around a corner. The polite and normal thing for him to do, would be back up so I could get back. Instead, he just sat there, blocking me. Clearly, he wanted me to back up around the corner, then around another corner, and down the previous lane, so he could then proceed (makes no sense), plus he was way over on my side. So, after 15 seconds, I honked at him (thinking, what is he doing??) and he FLIPPED OUT, cussed me out, parked his car, approached me in a deserted parkade (a man confronting a woman in a parkade is never right) and had blind rage. It was so uncalled for and shocking. I kept saying to him «I know you, don’t you work nearby, I’ve talked to you before!!» and he wasn’t listening, rather he was calling me «f’*** b***» over and over again. It was crazy and really scary. Finally, he let me go and told me to «get the f out of here» and I parked, ran upstairs shaking and started to cry. I phoned his security company and the supervisor said that this man wasn’t on shift, so he couldn’t do anything about it. I don’t understand this, because the guard was in uniform, so he was representing the company. The Supervisor even said «Oh I know the guy, ya he’s a little psycho». Think twice before using Polo. I contacted my lawyer about it because I felt like this man was capable of hurting someone. Just be aware that this company hires people like this and you may want to do your background check on the guards they use before hiring them. The behavior I saw was NOT okay.
