Commissionaires and Brassets Group form strategic partnership to advance Canadian security capability

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Canadian Corps of Commissionaires (“Commissionaires”), Canada’s only national not-for-profit security company and the country’s largest employer of veterans, announced that it has partnered with Brassets Group Canada (“Brassets”), a specialist security technology company that designs, engineers and delivers security solutions for high-consequence environments.

“Today’s emergent threats reach deeper into every level of our society than has ever been the case in the history of our country, directly targeting Canadian households, livelihoods, and critical infrastructure,” said Michael Langlais, Vice President, Risk Development, Commissionaires. “For over a century, Commissionaires has defended Canadians. This partnership with Brassets allows us to learn from the experience of our most like-minded allies, meet emergent threats, and secure not just the Canadian Armed Forces bases that we guard, but every level of Canadian society over the century to come.”

The relationship combines Commissionaires' skilled veteran workforce and national footprint with Brassets' expertise in delivering comprehensive security solutions for the Australian Defence Force, pairing operational experience with advanced integrated security technology solutions. The partnership is designed to help clients at every level of society benefit from military-grade security solutions.

“The future of security is about using technology to do the heavy lifting,” said Jacky Stickler, Director of Global Strategy & Business Development, Brassets. “Together, Brassets and Commissionaires bring advanced integrated technology and experienced operators into mission-critical environments, delivering earlier warning, faster verification and a clearer operating picture so teams can act with confidence.”

Built on Trust. Powered by Veterans. Transformed by Technology.

Together, we are committed to the total defence of Canada.
