Blackbird Partners with the City of Abbotsford
By
Ranko Vukovic
A major goal for Blackbird Security is to protect and uplift the communities in which we live. One of the ways we achieve this is to actively grow our portfolio of public sector and municipal security clients. These institutions are critical in our lives. They provide our healthcare, our infrastructure, and the public services we all rely on. Whether you’re a municipality based on Vancouver Island, or in the Greater Toronto Area, our full range of government security services are available to you.
Proud to Partner with the City of Abbotsford
We’re excited to share that we recently partnered with the City of Abbotsford to provide security guards for their public offices and their year-long slate of public events. Demonstrating the flexibility of our highly-trained security guards, we’ll be assisting with services such as foot patrols, COVID-19 policy enforcement, incident de-escalation and frontline customer service.
In a public facing role such as municipal security, our security guards will deal with a lot of questions and face-to-face interactions with the general public. We provide specific training in customer service, Occupational First Aid and other important areas (learn more about our training) to ensure our team members can excel in these highly visible positions.
Alongside the City of Abbotsford, we are proud to provide security services to the City of Duncan, the City of Vernon, the BC Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, and the Downtown Campbell River BIA.
If your municipality is looking to upgrade your security services in 2022, here are just some of the ways Blackbird Security can help.
Types of Civic Security We Provide
When we partner with a municipality to provide frontline security, we exclusively use highly trained and experienced security guards with at least one year of customer facing retail AND public sector security experience. This ensures we provide the service levels our clients expect, while also cutting down on turnover and inconsistency.
This approach has seen us partner with municipalities and governments across Canada to provide industry leading security services while remaining respectful of public sector budgets.
We offer a range of specialized security services for municipalities and governments, including:
- Uniformed Security
- Mobile Patrol Security
- Event Security and Crowd Management
- Concierge Security Services

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
