Yard and business park security in Kingston

Local and live

St. Lawrence Business Park, the 401 and the Seaway

Kingston sits on Highway 401 about 50 kilometres from the Thousand Islands border crossing into New York State and Interstate 81, with CN and CP both running short-line rail connections into the city for continental freight. Kingston is also on the St. Lawrence Seaway, part of a water corridor that Invest Kingston says carried $35 billion in economic transport in 2017, and Kingston Airport adds domestic and cargo air service. The city owns four fully serviced business parks, including St. Lawrence Business Park, offering development-ready industrial land with waived development charges for industrial use.

Construction sites and yards have been a target before. In 2021, Kingston Police investigated the theft of heavy equipment, including commercial snowplows, wheel loader excavating buckets and plate compactors, from construction sites across the city, worth more than $200,000 in total. About ten pieces turned up at an auction house north of Toronto, and a 21-year-old Kingston man was charged with theft over $5,000 and possession of proceeds of crime. Equipment moved between sites and left outside overnight is what rings like that one look for.

Kingston properties, from a St. Lawrence Business Park warehouse to a construction site closer to the water, get the same live coverage. Every camera is tied to AI person and vehicle detection, and once it flags someone on site after hours, the agent watching confirms it on the feed, gives a live, instant talk-down through the speakers and calls police and your contacts if the person won't leave. Parking reports and damage inspections add a record of whatever equipment is sitting outside.
