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.

Why Blackbird

Accountability built into every shift

The difference between a guarding contract that works and one that doesn't comes down to oversight. Here's how we keep standards high.

Strategic staffing

We match the right guard to your site by skill set and temperament — not whoever is next on the list.

Rigorous vetting

Every guard clears background checks, licensing verification, and reference screening before deployment.

Low guard-to-manager ratio

Tight supervisor ratios mean real accountability, frequent check-ins, and guards who stay engaged.

Quality audits & site visits

Managers run regular, unannounced site audits to confirm standards are met on every shift.

A dedicated Client Service Manager

One named point of contact who knows your account, fields escalations, and owns your results.

What our services entail

Uniformed Security

With public buildings and spaces a constant target for vandalism, loitering and mischief, our uniformed security guards provide an effective visual deterrent and frontline response. Our uniformed guards are security professionals with extensive & advanced training, including de-escalation training, for working with various members of society (youth, citizens, visitors, unhoused population, individuals experiencing mental health issues, intoxicated individuals, health care patients, substance use issues, and are equipped with naloxone training).

Mobile Patrol

This cost-effective security service involves our guards patrolling pre-determined routes on a randomized schedule. Our mobile security guards can be deployed on bicycles or cars, relaying their positioning in real-time through our innovative TrackTik technology. These patrols can be scheduled, randomized or set to respond to alarms.

Concierge Security Services

Our concierge security specialists provide safety and security for your office or building 24 hours a day. They will monitor your building cameras, safeguard keys and enforce building policies diligently. Our concierge experts receive specialized training that allows them to administer first aid assistance and act as fire marshals in the event of an evacuation scenario.

Can security services be customized?

Many providers offer standard security programs, but Blackbird Security emphasizes a collaborative approach to customization. By considering factors such as your industry, location, size, and specific risks, we work closely with you to design security strategies that fit your needs. This might include adjusting patrol schedules, reporting frequency, or tailoring patrol routes to align with your operations. This is possible through our dedicated Client Services team as well as our in-house Control Centre and Reporting teams. Customization is a fundamental part of how we provide effective and seamless security solutions

Are security providers in Canada regulated?

Yes, most countries and regions (including Canada) have licensing bodies and regulations that govern security providers. Check local laws to ensure your provider complies with these standards.

How do I measure the effectiveness of security measures?

Measuring the effectiveness of security measures involves tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate how well systems and personnel are meeting safety and asset protection goals. Start by analyzing incident response times, reductions in theft, vandalism, or shrinkage, and overall resolution rates for reported issues. Comparing pre- and post-implementation data helps demonstrate tangible improvements in safety and loss prevention. Regular audits, surveys, and risk assessment reports can also gauge the reliability and perception of security measures.

Key KPIs to track include:
- Incident response times: Faster responses to alarms or emergencies.
- Reduction in theft/vandalism: Compare loss data before and after implementation.
- Patrol compliance: Track patrol frequency and adherence via GPS or logs.
- False alarm rates: Lower rates ensure focus on real threats.
- Client/Employee satisfaction: Gather feedback to measure confidence in security.
- Client services: Dedicated account representative who supports ongoing needs & can adjust strategy as needed
