Our Business is Protecting Yours
For more than three decades, Spillett Security has safeguarded the businesses, hotels, and communities that make the Bow Valley thrive. Locally owned and operated, we’re proud to serve Banff, Canmore, Lake Louise, and surrounding areas with professional, reliable, and responsive protection.
We’ve built our reputation through trust, consistency, and long-term relationships. Our business is protecting yours, quietly, confidently, and with care. Every call we answer and every site we secure reflects our belief that strong security supports stronger communities.
Why We Do What We Do
Security is more than a presence; it’s peace of mind. Behind every hotel stay, every business opening, and every construction milestone are people who deserve to feel safe. Our purpose is to protect that sense of safety so our clients, their teams, and their guests can focus on what they do best.
We live and work in the Bow Valley, so our motivation is personal. We know the pulse of mountain communities, the surge of tourism in summer, the quiet of shoulder season, and the unique pressures of 24-hour operations. When we protect your business, we’re also protecting the people and places we call home.
Over the years, we’ve seen how dependable, discreet security can change outcomes. A single moment of calm communication can prevent escalation. A trained eye can stop an incident before it starts. Whether we’re helping a hotel manager rest easy through the night or ensuring a construction site stays secure through the weekend, our mission is the same: to deliver confidence through care.
Our Story
Spillett Security was founded in the late 1980s by Ronald Montgomery, who saw the growing need for reliable, professional security in Banff’s hospitality sector. The company quickly became known for excellence, beginning with a single contract providing a dedicated security department for the historic Canadian Pacific Banff Springs Hotel.
In 1991, Dave Stick joined the team and soon became an integral part of its operations. After years of experience at the Fairmont Banff Springs, including serving as Assistant Director of Security, Dave acquired Spillett Security in 2008. His deep understanding of hospitality, combined with leadership training and a genuine care for people, continues to shape the company today.
Together with his wife, Maureen, who manages administration and operations, Dave has grown Spillett Security into one of the most trusted names in Banff security services and hospitality protection. Today, the team provides ongoing coverage for more than 35 hotels and businesses across Banff, Canmore, and the greater Bow Valley.
What started as a single contract has evolved into a full-service security partner for local businesses, construction projects, and major events, all driven by one guiding principle: being there so our clients and their guests can sleep soundly.
