Blackbird Security Partners with the District of North Vancouver During Halloween Weekend for Overnight Patrol Security

By
Ranko Vukovic

Blackbird Security is happy to share that we partnered with the District of North Vancouver over Halloween weekend to provide overnight patrol security for eight of the city’s parks.

About Our Partnership

As a preferred partner for many in Vancouver, Blackbird Security was thrilled to have our team on patrol and overseeing the celebrations throughout the city during Halloween weekend, in partnership with the North Vancouver District. 


While locals participated in the many Halloween festivities around town, decked out in costumes, enjoying sugary treats and most definitely imbibing, our team of dedicated professionals provided reliable, overnight Patrol Security at eight of North Vancouver's gorgeous parks.


Why The District of North Vancouver Hired Blackbird Security

Halloween has been known to lure more than ghosts and witches. In fact, the commercial holiday is often a target for unwanted theft and vandalism


The District of North Vancouver’s partnership with Blackbird Security was a strategic effort to provide frontline prevention against potential criminal activities and allow citizens, who were simply looking to celebrate, to enjoy their festivities.


At Blackbird Security, we understand that most businesses are unable to have staff on-site 24-hours a day, seven days a week. That’s why our Patrol Security team can be deployed exclusively to respond to alarms, as rapid response vehicle patrol, or dedicated foot patrol depending on your business needs.

The Benefits of Hiring Blackbird Patrol Security

At a time when budgets are becoming increasingly tight and crimes continue to rise, many clients are in need of a security presence that meets their needs while remaining within budget.


Our Patrol Security services help clients to ensure the safety and security of their property without hiring a full-time guard or sacrificing the security measures they need to have in place.


Instead, Patrol Security guards are deployed in spaces where a static security guard isn’t required. They navigate a strategic route on the property, allowing them to watch closely for incidents, signs of forced entry, or anything out of the ordinary. They act as a proven barrier against theft and in the event of an emergency they are trained to respond to any scenario swiftly while adhering to your existing security protocols.


Any incident that may occur is logged in a detailed Incident Report via our TrackTik technology, so you’re fully aware of the situation and how it was handled. You’ll even receive images of the site as our guards found it.


Our clients love the flexibility and service standards of our patrol team. Whether their presence is required at a predetermined time or on a random basis, our services are custom-tailored to fit your unique needs and budget.

Hire the Best

Thanks to our industry-leading training and flexibility, Blackbird’s Patrol Security guards are utilized by a growing number of clients across Canada. 


Whether you’re in need of Patrol Security for an office building, shopping mall, warehouse, parking lot, construction site, healthcare facility, condo building or something else entirely, we are here to help.


Hire the best in patrol security, and ensure the safety of your property.

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.
