East Coast & Toronto Event Security With Blackbird

By
Ranko Vukovic

Between Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa, the East Coast of Canada has its fair share of concert tour stops and entertainment hubs. We’re proud to provide premium event security to major venues and high-profile events in this significant region. Read the case studies highlighting some of our most successful events below. 

Partnering with Cirque du Soleil in Toronto 

In 2022, we partnered with the iconic acrobatics and performance group Cirque du Soleil for their shows in Toronto. As a travelling act, they move around the world throughout the year, stopping at different cities along the way. They needed our round-the-clock security services to protect their stage gear between shows, as well as to provide event security throughout the events. As a security company with extensive experience in Toronto and exceptional training, Cirque chose us to safeguard their shows. 

We provided frontline support during ticket checks, bag checks, and pat-downs to ensure the venue remained safe throughout each show. We also provided customer service support during the event, assisting attendees with questions and directions. Between shows, we patrolled the site to ensure no vandalism or trespassing took place. 

As a result of our efforts, the Toronto leg of Cirque du Soleil’s tour was a roaring success. It was our honour to safeguard this prestigious Canadian event.

Providing Luxury Event Security Services to the McLaren Showcase

There's no better showcase for high-performance vehicles than the prestigious Formula One race week in Montreal. McLaren, a synonym for the world's most luxurious sports cars, stepped up their presentation this year with an exclusive display at Holt Renfrew Ogilvy.

With such an extraordinary event, McLaren required the very best in elite security. Enter Blackbird Security, Canada's number one choice in luxury event security, suit and tie guards, and so much more.

When it comes to exclusive events like the McLaren showcase, luxury security services that cater to the unique needs and expectations of high-end events and their clientele are necessary for full-scale protection. The showcase featured exquisite vehicles, exclusive limited-edition gear, and items commemorating the excitement of Formula One week, all under the watchful yet discreet eye of our elite security personnel. 

Our team of specialized and highly-trained professionals understand the nuances of luxury event security. Our suit-and-tie security guards employ a range of de-escalation, customer service, and patrol techniques customized for a high-end client base. Luxury security services ensure that every guest can relax, knowing they are in capable hands.

Providing Event Security Across Canada for Bond Brand Loyalty

From September to October 2022, Blackbird Security was the official security partner for the Lincoln Sanctuary car events hosted by Bond Brand Loyalty. We were honoured to play a role in these exciting promotional events in Ontario. 

At Blackbird Security, we specialize in servicing large-scale, high-profile events. Our highly trained security guards play a discreet yet critically important role in bringing people together by providing industry-leading safety and security guard services.

Following our initial information gathering meeting with event organizers, we developed a custom security plan for Bond Brand Loyalty that maximized their security coverage while working within their security budget.

Our event security guards maintained an authoritative yet approachable presence throughout the event, performing duties such as access control, ticketing, crowd management, and scanning for security threats. They also monitored the vehicle display and its container unit, providing comprehensive overnight security to ensure the luxury vehicles remained safe and secure.

Advanced In-House Training for Exceptional Event Security

We understand that training is fundamental to quality event security guard services. We invest in our team members and enable them to deliver the best service possible by providing industry-leading in-house training through Blackbird Academy for each of our guards. 

Our advanced training extends far beyond the basic security training required of security guards in Canada. Here’s a brief overview of our training program: 

  • Customer Service Excellence

  • Peaceful De-Escalation Training

  • Reporting Excellence

  • Advanced Communication Mastery

  • Fire Safety Training

  • Introduction to Canadian Criminal Law

  • Standard First Aid

Here’s what one of our event security clients in Toronto had to say:

“I hired Blackbird Security several times for suit and tie client events, special open houses, and for concierge services. Their security guards were all presentable and professional. Dealing with Blackbird has been a pleasure, and I will continue to use their security services. Their security training is excellent, and their employees are all great to deal with. Blackbird is a fantastic security company.“

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
