What Our Services Entail

Mobile Patrol Security

If you’re running an outdoor event, our mobile patrol security team will ensure the integrity of your perimeter and prevent anyone from gatecrashing. Our event team follow pre-arranged routes on a randomized schedule in highly visible security vehicles. They’re flexible, they’re efficient, and they’re cost-effective.

Risk Assessment

Each event carries an element of risk that needs to be factored into the organizer’s plan. A security site assessment, or physical risk assessment, is an evaluation conducted by a security expert that includes actionable recommendations on how to safeguard the site and prevent risk. Not only is safety important for guests, it’s also important to cover yourself against any potential liabilities.

Uniformed Security Guards

Events ebb and flow and there’s always a small element of chaos involved on the day. A uniformed security guard is your frontline defense against crowd incidents, gate crashers, or anyone causing trouble within the event. Our uniformed security guards are experts at diffusing challenging situations thanks to their customer service training and security experience.

What Our Partners Have to Say

★★★★★

Blackbird Security gets 2 thumbs up from me and my family. We unfortunately lost my Dad suddenly last year, and because of the COVID regulations planning a funeral was harder (than normal). We hired Blackbird to help maintain social distancing between guests, contact tracing, and to make sure masks & sanitizer were available for everyone during our outside Celebration of Life for our Dad. Thank you Blackbird for helping us celebrate my Father's life safely. My family appreciated your hard work.

Great service at a recent event we held at our residence. Security guard stayed longer than our hired time slot to ensure the property was secured.

We had a small private event and needed suit and tie security. Brett and his team did an excellent job. Good professional company, will use them again.

★★★★★

I hired Blackbird Security several times for suit and tie client events, special open houses and for concierge services. Their security guards were all presentable and professional. Dealing with Black bird has been a pleasure and I will continue to use their security services. Their security training is excellent and their employees are all great to deal with. Blackbird is a fantastic security company.

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.

The Blackbird team was unbelievably helpful and professional at our company’s event. The team showed up every single time sharp and ready to tackle any tasks assigned to them. Everything was simple and organized. They lead you through the whole process so you understand what services they are providing you as well as what you need from them and how they are going to deliver it. Thank you Blackbird and Ranko for the best experience.
