The founder
Jassu Chouhan
President and CEO“I spent nine years in security, first in uniform in the field, then running my own agency. I realized it could be done differently: an agent people notice for the right reasons, who stands tall, speaks with respect and reassures before ever having to intervene. That is the standard I set out to build when I founded Groupe Proximité in 2023, and it’s the standard every one of my agents lives up to today.”

Ourmission
Groupe Proximité grew out of a lesson learned in the field: in security, presence matters as much as training. Attire, posture, the way you speak to people: it all reassures before an agent ever has to step in.
Today, more than 50 BSP-licensed, CPR-certified agents bring this standard to festivals, businesses and events across Greater Montréal and the Québec City region.

Our team
More than 50 BSP-licensed, CPR-certified agents
Every successful assignment rests on agents who take pride in their work. Ours come from many backgrounds: former military, ex-law enforcement officers, first responders and private security veterans. They all share the same mission: protecting people and places seriously. Every one of them holds a BSP licence and CPR certification, and most train in a combat sport.
We invest in our people, because a well-trained, well-treated team works better. Our agents receive competitive pay, benefits, ongoing training and real opportunities to grow. The result: lower turnover, a motivated team and stronger service for our clients.
Fewer than 15% of applicants join us. Each one goes through the BSP background check, then our own screening, because every agent represents the whole agency.
Our leadership knows the job from the inside. Our founder, Jassu Chouhan, spent years working as an agent in the field before building his own agency, and he surrounds himself with people experienced in private security and leadership. That lets us stay calm in complex or high-risk situations, exactly when our clients are counting on us.
Our resources
Radios, patrol cars and the right attire
Radios provided, patrol vehicles, and agents deployed in a suit or in a clearly visible “Sécurité” uniform, depending on what your event or business needs.
What sets us apart
More than an agency, a trusted partner
Many agencies hire fast and hope for the best. We do the opposite: fewer than 15% of applicants earn a spot. Every candidate goes through the BSP background check, then our own screening, and every agent holds first aid and CPR certification. Most also train in a combat sport, and it shows in their calm and composure.
Here, security starts with presence: sharp attire, upright posture, a way of speaking that reassures. Our agents arrive, and the difference shows. They are ready for the field, not just the theory, because our founder did this job himself for years.
We adapt to your reality: from one agent for a weekend evening to a full team for a construction site or a major event, with more than 50 active agents. Last-minute changes don't throw us off. We reply within 24 hours with an exact price and stay reachable 24/7.
