Whether you need a home security guard for a gated community, a condo complex, or a single-family residence, we’ll create a tailored security plan that keeps your community safe and secure.

When an alarm is triggered, our team responds within minutes, assessing the scene, addressing the cause of the alarm and providing a detailed report of their findings. No matter where you are, you’ll instantly know what triggered the alarm, and what our guards found at the scene.

Residential Mobile Patrol

Our mobile patrols can be customized to provide a level of coverage to suit any budget. Our guards can be assigned to cover routes at random intervals that will keep criminals guessing. Our Mobile Security team can be tracked in real time. This is thanks to our cutting edge TrackTik GPS monitoring technology.

We have been using Blackbird Security concierges for over 2 years at our building and I have nothing but great things to say about them. The residents have given us great feedback about the concierge personnel Blackbird has placed at the front desk and I would highly recommend this company to other stratas and property management companies.

I highly recommend Blackbird for any security needs. They provide patrol services to a property I manage in Vancouver and they have been able to reduce trespassing on the property as well as increasing the security of the building. Their customer service is top notch.

Many providers offer standard security programs, but Blackbird Security emphasizes a collaborative approach to customization.

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
