Property Security – How Blackbird’s Innovative Hybrid Model Works

There’s no room for complacency in security. Criminals are always watching, always learning and always finding innovative ways to commit crimes. Security companies that stand still are doing a dis-service to their clients. It’s not enough to list your services and consider your work done. We must always be on the lookout for ways to maximize security coverage and keep criminals on their toes.

As part of our ongoing dialogue with our clients, we learned that they loved the flexible and dependable security coverage of our concierge security service, but many clients wanted more. On the other end of the scale, many clients who leaned on our tactical security guards began to see the benefits of including front desk security in their security mix. In an effort to innovate and meet this growing demand, Blackbird Security launched our unique Hybrid Security Service and began offering it to clients across Canada.

Hybrid Security – How it Works

Perfect for office, residential and other high traffic buildings our innovative hybrid model of security combines concierge security guards with tactical security guards in one service offering. This approach maximizes the benefits of both services, delivering outstanding customer service and hospitality, paired with a strong visual security deterrent.

In practice, our front desk security guards will monitor the building from their front-of-house position, conducting their usual mix of customer-oriented service and world class security. While they’re acting as the eyes and ears of the building, our tactical security guards conduct security patrols, sweeping sensitive areas like car parks, storage and access points, while also keeping an eye out for suspicious behaviour.

Our concierge security guards and uniformed security guards both receive comprehensive training through our Blackbird Academy training program that’s designed to equip them with the skills needed for modern security work. It’s our aim that every graduate of our training program leaves feeling comfortable facing any scenario in their day-to-day role.
