In the past few months, Blackbird Security has consulted regularly with our partners in retail and the public sector to hear the challenges they’re facing due to the pandemic. From our conversations, we have learned their private security needs are shifting to match these unprecedented times.
They want to partner with a professional security company who can keep their property secure, while also assisting with social distancing, increased hygiene and added safety protocols. At Blackbird Security, our multi-faceted approach to staff training makes us the perfect option in the “new normal.” We have partnered with retail giants such as MEC and Holt Renfrew during the pandemic, working with them to develop customer-focused solutions to the logistical challenges of operating safely in a pandemic.
Here are some examples of mall security and public sector security clients we have partnered with in recent weeks.

We are proud to partner with Sahali Mall in Kamloops, BC.

Our retail security team offers a constant deterrence to theft at the mall, securing a safe and pleasant environment for customers and staff alike.
From years of experience, we have built a keen understanding of the expectations retailers have of their mall security staff. That’s why we train our security guards to blend their security responsibilities with a customer-oriented approach.

Municipalities and public sector bodies are some of the biggest land owners in Canada. Their property is sometimes viewed as a soft target and is often ill-protected against threats. At Blackbird Security, we understand budgets in this area can often be tight. That’s why we tailor our services to provide maximum protection for minimal cost.
Our teams are expertly trained in diffusing threats and providing a safe environment for visitors.
