What Our Partners Have to Say

★★★★★
Blackbird Security guards patrol the building which I currently live in. Since our strata has started to use them, we’ve felt their presence and have seen less unwanted people on our property. We all feel a lot more safe.

My condo building concierge, Peter, works for Blackbird Security. He is very friendly, professional and organized. We love him at our building! When he is away, they usually have a couple of other decent guards as well. My last building concierge was garbage so it makes a difference especially for parcels!

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.

Blackbird Security has been performing the role of safety ambassadors for the City of Duncan since the summer of 2019. In this role, they have helped provide a safety presence along the Trans-Canada corridor. Their staff have been professional, reliable and on time. They cover all shifts including any time one of their guards is sick. They are quick to respond to calls and available anytime during the day/evening. I recommend them to anyone looking for professional security guards.
