★★★★★

I have tried many other security services - they are all the same and subpar at best. I gave Blackbird a shot and was very glad that I did. The management is super responsive, learns quickly from regular feedback and strives hard to meet my individual business needs. A refreshing experience vs dealing with the other security companies out there. Would recommend to any business looking for quality service!

It was a pleasure having Blackbird Security on board with our event this year. Our Pharmacy Skits Night welcomes 500-600 students and faculty each year and is held in a large venue. From the feedback I've received from our attendees, all the guards were respectful and attentive to the crowd. We look forward to continuing to work together in the future and do not hesitate to recommend the company to colleagues.
