At Blackbird Security, Hands-On Leadership is Key

The Canadian security landscape is a competitive one. From coast to coast, hundreds of security companies offer their services, protecting clients and keeping their communities safe. We understand that our clients have many choices about who to work with, and we never lose sight of the privilege it is to protect them. We work hard to ensure our service standards make us the best security company in Canada.

One of the ways we achieve this goal is the presence of hands-on leadership at every step of the journey.

A Unique Approach to Security Leadership

When we founded Blackbird Security, we heard from countless clients about the challenges they faced in finding a security partner to meet their needs. Some companies were too small to provide the services they needed; others felt like big security companies only offered off-the-shelf solutions that didn’t suit their needs. We knew we could do better.

In a few short years, we have grown Blackbird Security into one of Canada’s largest providers of professional security services. We’re committed to offering the service choice and reliability of a large security company, while retaining the personal touch and flexibility of a small business.

Our founders bring decades of multi-disciplined international security experience to the fold. Despite our growth, they remain hands-on in delivering our services, often meeting with clients, auditing our service standards, and ensuring that clients receive the care they deserve.

Leadership in the Field

Recently, Blackbird Security’s Director of Operations, Brett Moir, visited our Ontario security guards in Toronto to observe our operations and show support for our growing Ontario team. Brett donned his security gear and spent time with our tactical security guards in the field.

Brett possesses over 20 years of experience in the security industry, and it was brilliant to see him coaching and sharing practical knowledge with our team members.

Brett’s presence is just one example of our senior leadership staying present in our communities, meeting with clients, and seeing first-hand the challenges they face in their day-to-day operations. This hands-on daily involvement and care from our ownership and senior management team truly sets us apart, making Blackbird Security Canada the number one security company for both our clients and staff.

Creating a Culture We Can Be Proud of at Blackbird Security

In many industries, workers have long faced issues such as low pay, poor working conditions, and excessive workload. As employers seek to hire staff, quality candidates can now avoid this reality. Instead, they’re looking to work for companies that appreciate their value, help them grow, and provide a culture that aligns with their values.

At Blackbird Security, culture is at the heart of everything we do. When we founded the company, we had four core principles in mind:

• Respect

• Integrity

• Teamwork

• Adaptability

What this means in practice is that we treat others with dignity and respect at all times, ensuring all decisions and actions are conducted without bias, functioning as one team regardless of how big the company grows, and constantly striving to learn, grow, and adapt to stay current with changing safety and technological needs. However, we acknowledge that culture isn’t enough. If you want to hire and retain quality staff, you need to make an effort to impress.

Quality Perks for Quality Work

Our aim as a business is to exceed expectations and deliver value to our clients. We achieve this through our outstanding team of professional security guards. We strive to hire hardworking and trustworthy individuals and empower them to perform their roles to the best of their ability. For this, we offer the following range of benefits:

• Competitive wages

• Opportunities for career growth (inside and outside our organization)

• Extensive Training

• Mentorship from industry-leading security professionals

• Vacation allowance

• Flexible working hours suitable for modern life

In fact, many of our alumni have successfully enrolled in the RCMP and Vancouver Police Department, with some transitioning to careers in corrections.
