This Winter Think Mobile Patrol for Your Security Needs
By
Ranko Vukovic
In this line of work, we’re often asked: What is the most cost-effective way to protect my property? What we always tell clients is that our Mobile Security Guard Patrols offer a cutting edge security solution that works for every budget and type of business.
When you work with a security company like Blackbird Security, one of our main strengths is our ability to offer customized solutions that work to protect you. No contract is too big, or too small, for our security experts and we’ll meet with you to discuss your unique needs before developing a tailor-made plan.
In this week’s blog, we’re going to highlight three examples of mobile security patrol services we offer, including a case study of one client that has benefitted from our services.
Randomized Scheduled Mobile Patrols
Client: Flatiron Construction
Our clients, Flatiron Construction, are specialists in landmark construction projects throughout North America. While undertaking a large project near Vancouver International Airport, they found themselves having to deal with loitering, property damage and equipment theft.
We partnered with them to develop a patrol schedule that serviced their needs, with our team undertaking randomized patrols along that schedule. Any opportunistic criminal notices the presence of our guards and it deters them from engaging in any illegal activity. Since we’ve partnered with Flatiron Construction, they’ve had zero issues with theft and their property is secure.
Emergency Security Response
Suitable For: Retailers, Mall Security
When an immediate response is required on-site, our Emergency Security Response team are second-to-none at providing effective protection. Once they receive the call, our security guard will arrive on-site within minutes, assessing the risk, dealing with it in a prompt and professional manner, and submitting a report with their findings upon conclusion.
We have the capacity to urgently service emergency calls in most cities and towns in British Columbia and Alberta. We are currently the Emergency Responder of choice for several national retailers, including Rexall, MEC, Value Village, Best Buy and many more.
Scheduled Security Patrols
Suitable For: Construction Sites, Property Managers
This Mobile Patrol is best suited for locking and unlocking premises, as well as properties where issues are known to occur at an exact time. The presence of our guards removes the space for illegal activity to occur, protecting the property of our clients.
Clients can instruct our team to install a GPS tracker on-site, with our patrol pinging them automatically as they pass. This provides real-time reporting through our innovative TrackTik Mobile Security Guard technology program, offering our clients instant access to peace of mind wherever they are in the world.

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
