Much like the role of a hero in any context, it’s a name that emphasizes a sense of duty, vigilance, and the importance of trust in the relationships it builds with clients. A hero is someone who stands up in the face of danger, embodies strength, reliability, and trustworthiness, and is dedicated to the well-being of others. This name is fitting for a security company, as it reflects the core values of the business—being there when people need protection, responding to challenges with professionalism, and ensuring that safety is the top priority.

“Clients choose Hero Security not just for its professional expertise but because it was founded right here in Kelowna, where we understand the unique needs of the community and the region,” says Harjit Toora, who owns and operates the company with his wife, Kamaljit. “As a company rooted in this city, and with a family-owned business, we truly recognize the importance of protecting what matters most—family, people, homes, and their assets.”

Some of the 200 satisfied customers who rely on Hero for top-notch security solutions include the City of West Kelowna, Norson Construction, HTec hydrogen, and many provincial and federal agencies. Satisfied customers include those who rely on Hero’s service on a regular basis and those who rely on Hero for standby services 24/7 or in case of emergency such as fire, flood, break-ins, or any other unexpected situation.

“We offer personalized, reliable security services, understanding that safety isn’t just a job, it’s personal,” says Kamaljit. “Our clients trust us because we treat their concerns with the same care and urgency we would our own.”

As such, Hero is more than a name – it reflects the mission to protect and serve, ensuring peace of mind for families and businesses alike.

“The most rewarding part of working at Hero is knowing that we play a critical role in keeping our community safe. Whether it’s protecting families, securing businesses, or ensuring the safety of public events, the peace of mind we provide to our clients is invaluable,” explains Harjit. “Seeing the trust people place in us, and knowing we are making a tangible difference in their lives, brings immense satisfaction.”

Hero Security aims to create more job opportunities within our community, hiring dedicated professionals who share Hero’s mission to protect and serve, thereby contributing to the local economy.

“Being a locally founded company in Kelowna, it’s incredibly rewarding to give back to the community that we live in, whether through the relationships we build or the sense of security we help foster,” sums up Harjit. “Protecting what matters most—families, homes, and assets—while supporting our neighbors is at the heart of what makes this work so fulfilling.”
