Feature: Norpro Security

September 1, 2020

For the past forty years, Norpro has been an industry leader in security, health and safety, and IT solutions.

And in speaking with the associate vice president of customer experience Allan Watson, it quickly became clear that the key attributes that Norpro prides itself on being synonymous with are responsiveness, approachability, and knowledgeability in all the sectors that it serves.

Norpro is an industry leader with a heart – and makes it its duty to maintain close ties to the communities in which it services.

As with any company that puts an emphasis on the customer experience, they go the extra mile to ensure that their clients have access to their highly trained staff with a strong focus on safety and professionalism.

Norpro has an ever-expanding portfolio of services.

In the security sector, they provide covid-screening, security guards, loss-prevention agents, investigations, and industrial security – but they have also expanded into the IT sector, offering solutions for sales equipment, business supplies, and communication devices.

These sectors compliment one another, as this has also given Norpro access to cutting-edge technology in the development and installation of advanced RFID systems, Sound Systems, POS systems for retail and restaurants, as well as consulting services related to these products. As a leader in health and safety for the Workplace, they offer a wide range of services. 

Training and education is another sector that holds particular interest to Norpro – mainly related to first aid, CPR, working at heights, Ontario private security, and licenses for investigative services.

They also offer certificates in chainsaw safety, propane handling, and traffic control. For those interested in pursuing employment in the field, they offer over 450 online courses taught by leading experts that are available on demand, and most include a certificate upon successful completion.

Topics include WHMIS, advanced rigging, excavation safety, and much more. In fact, Watson emphasized that Norpro is always looking to add to their workforce – offering competitive wages and benefits packages. These positions are announced on their social media networks, so for those interested – be sure to like and subscribe. 

Norpro has a long history of community involvement. Giving back is important to the company, and they take pride in their visibility in the community.

They offer support through corporate donations, sponsorships, and even encourage their staff to do volunteer work. Some of the causes that Norpro has supported in the past include the Algoma Autism Foundation, Crime Stoppers, Algoma Family Services, and most recently, they have become a sponsor for the United Way’s Pedal for Possibilities and the DU283 – a series of duathlons totaling 283 kilometres that will benefit Algoma Family Services Foundation in support of youth mental health. 

It is no secret that security systems have become a very competitive field with many of the larger companies putting a monopoly on the market, but Norpro recently has made a concentrated push into the market.

They offer competitive and compelling reasons to switch to their security services. Watson explained that one of the reasons that individuals are reluctant to get alarm systems is that they are often set up for the police to respond in the event of a triggered alarm. Even if it is a false alarm, the resident or business owner is left holding the bill.

Norpro takes the revolutionary step of responding to the alarms themselves, resulting in no additional charges for utilizing the police. Norpro is well equipped to install, monitor, and respond without involving any third-party agencies.

This attractive bundle is affordable – depending on what is required, a residential or commercial customer can expect to pay as little as $11.99 to $45.99/month with a three-year contract. This investment can offer a peace of mind in a time when one could argue that one’s security needs are at an all time high.
