FIRST ANNUAL SOAK & SHARE WAS A SPLASHING SUCCESS!


On August 12th, 2025 the Reed Security team put down their tools and keyboards to head to the park for our first annual SOAK & SHARE team building event.


The afternoon was all about connection, laughter, and celebrating our awesome team. In addition to an epic water fight, the event was also an opportunity to recognize and reward employees for their contributions over the past year.


It wasn’t just Reed Security staff who got in on the fun - some local kids joined in when they saw all the action, adding even more energy and smiles to the day.


At Reed Security, we believe that when you take care of your staff, they’ll take care of your clients. Soak & Share was a perfect reminder that investing in our people is investing in the customer experience.


Special thanks to Lesli and Sarah for organizing and hosting the event. Your planning made it easy for everyone else to relax and fully enjoy the day.


Events like this remind us that success isn’t just about numbers - it’s about people, teamwork, and shared moments. And at Reed Security, we’ve got the best.

LIGHT IT UP


Burglars hate attention. A dark yard or driveway gives them cover, while a bright, well-lit property makes them think twice.

Here’s how to use lighting to your advantage:

💡 Install motion-activated lights
They surprise anyone who gets too close and save energy by only turning on when needed. A great option is our AI Floodlight camera.

🏡 Light up entry points
Make sure doors, windows, and garages are visible from the street. Criminals prefer to do their dirty work where they cannot be seen.

🌙 Use timers for indoor lights
Set lamps to turn on in the evening when you are away. It creates the impression someone is home.

🚨 Upgrade to smart lighting
Control your lights from your phone and adjust them anytime, anywhere. Reed Security has smart light switches.  

A well-lit property sends a clear message: this home is not an easy target.






SEE SOMETHING? SAY SOMETHING.


Summertime means more time outdoors - camping trips, long weekends, and evenings in the backyard. It also means empty homes, open garage doors, and more opportunity for criminals to snoop around.

If you see something suspicious, don’t ignore it.

  • Call the Police and report the activity. You could be stopping a crime before it happens.

  • Share the info with your neighbours, especially if it’s something like a strange vehicle cruising slowly down the street or someone poking around yards.

  • Post in your neighbourhood Facebook group or community app. The more eyes, the better.

💡 Criminals don’t like attention. Neighbours who look out for each other make a street much harder to target.

At Reed Security, we believe security starts with awareness - and teamwork. When communities watch out for each other, everyone wins.

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: ARIEL HAMBLIN CELEBRATES 9 YEARS AT REED SECURITY


This month, we’re celebrating Ariel Hamblin, who has been a key part of Reed Security for the past nine years! 

Ariel is our Accounting & Administration Manager, and she’s played a huge role in helping us grow and succeed. 

We sat down with Ariel to hear about her journey, what she loves about her work, and her thoughts on Reed’s success.

Why do you love working at Reed Security?

“It’s the family environment. Everyone is supportive, and I genuinely enjoy the work I do - it’s rewarding and keeps me engaged every day.”

What’s your role, and what do you do day-to-day?

“I’m the Accounting and Administration Manager. I oversee the Department, handling onboarding, contracts, and sales for our dealer network. My goal is to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.”

What makes Reed Security different?

“We care about each client as an individual, not just a number. We focus on understanding their needs and providing security solutions that truly fit them and their needs.”

How has Reed Security grown over the years?

“We’ve added a lot of staff, and we’ve really grown into a family. Plus, the company has expanded nationwide, which is amazing to see.”

What’s a memorable moment from your time here?

“Definitely the staff events - barbecues, YXE smash therapy, axe throwing - I love when we do fun things together that build our team spirit.”

What do you love doing outside of work?

“I’m a mom, and we love to travel, garden, and just enjoy life together.”

What’s your best advice for someone starting a career at Reed?

“Learn how to find and access resources independently. Be the person who takes ownership and gets things done.”


👏 Huge thanks to Ariel for sharing her story and for everything she does to keep Reed Security moving forward. Stay tuned for more team spotlights as we celebrate the people behind the scenes who make Reed Security what it is today! 💪
