Maritime Enforcement Services Story
Maritime Enforcement Services Inc. (MES) provides professional bylaw enforcement and community safety services to local governments throughout New Brunswick and the Maritimes. Our officers support towns, villages, regional commissions, and other public-sector clients with contract-based services focused on compliance, visibility, and public trust.
We are not a private security agency. We serve governments only, and every enforcement solution we deliver is built around the goals, bylaws, and values of the municipalities we support.
Our team enforces municipal bylaws, responds to complaints, patrols public spaces, and helps residents understand and follow local regulations. Whether you need seasonal enforcement for a tourism region or long-term coverage for your community, we provide clear, professional service designed for results.
Our Clients
Our Approach
Our goal is to help municipalities gain compliance through education, presence, and respectful enforcement. We believe that most bylaw issues can be resolved through conversation, not confrontation. That’s why our officers are trained in communication, public engagement, and community-first enforcement methods. Contracts include plans, officer coverage, reporting, and communication.
Our Officers
All officers at Maritime Enforcement Services are properly trained, insured, and equipped to carry out the tasks expected of a municipal law enforcement officer. Each is selected not only for their enforcement capabilities, but also for their professionalism and ability to represent the community in a visible and public-facing role. Every appointed bylaw enforcement officer at MES is also a member of the Atlantic Bylaw Officer Association.
