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.

We had the pleasure of using Blackbird Security for a one day event here at the Grand Opening of Canada Gold. Dilpreet, the guard on duty, was absolutely wonderful, and even helped us with our celebrations throughout the busy day. We cannot recommend the service enough, and thank you to Padraic and his team for setting up the contract so effortlessly!

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.

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
