Case Study: Vernon RCMP
From Missed Requirements to Mission-Ready Cleaning
How Evergreen Stepped In and Stepped Up for the Vernon RCMP Detachment
How We Stepped In
When the City of Vernon awarded its RCMP janitorial contract, they expected compliance, professionalism, and secure service from day one.
What they got instead was a vendor who couldn’t meet security clearance requirements and left the city scrambling to find a team that could.
That’s where Evergreen’s Vernon team came in.
We didn’t just fill a gap. We brought a proven process, cleared personnel, and a structure that’s kept operations running smoothly for over five years.

The Challenge: A Contract That Needed Immediate Recovery
The City of Vernon needed RCMP facilities cleaned seven days a week by staff with valid enhanced security clearance. But the initial vendor couldn’t deliver. No clearance. No backup plan. No long-term solution.
With a main detachment, annex, and community services building on the line, the city couldn’t afford delays or mistakes. They needed a cleaning company that could hit the ground running and stay compliant every step of the way.

Here’s what wasn’t working:
- Inadequate staffing with required clearance
- Gaps in daily cleaning and supply delivery
- No accountability structure in place
- Zero backup for specialty project work
- Frustrated staff and inconsistent service
This wasn’t a simple janitorial fix; it was a performance and trust issue. The City turned to the next-highest rated proponent: Evergreen.
The Solution: A Secure, Structured Cleaning System
Evergreen moved fast. Within days, we reassigned two fully security-cleared team members from nearby municipalities to restore compliance and get cleaning operations back on track. But speed wasn’t enough. This contract needed structure, so that every site, every day, ran without issues. Here’s how we made it work:
The Results: A Secure Contract That Finally Delivered
Since Evergreen took over, the City of Vernon has seen a complete turnaround, not just in daily cleanliness, but in how the contract is managed and supported.
What started as a recovery mission became a long-term success story. Over five years later, the Vernon RCMP Detachment continues to rely on Evergreen for reliable, secure, and professional custodial service. Here’s what changed:
