The Benefits of Residential Concierge Security

By
Ranko Vukovic

One of Blackbird Security’s most popular security services is our Residential Concierge Security. These dedicated security professionals go above and beyond in their duties, adopting a customer service approach to their work. This unique role in the security world is more than just a security guard.

In their day-to-day roles, they balance professionalism, property knowledge, building policies, world class security services, and many other specifics relating to the unique characteristics of the building. Not only will they help residents feel safe and secure in their homes, they can also offer emergency assistance and many other important tasks.

If you’re considering upgrading your residential concierge security, here are five benefits of partnering with Blackbird Security.

Available 24/7 When You Need it

Our residential concierge services can be customized whatever way you require. We understand each building and client has unique needs. That’s why we’re proud to offer customized security solutions. If one of your residents is locked out of their apartment, if they’re dealing with an emergency, our team will be there for them with a warm and reassuring presence.

World Class Security Coverage

Whether they’re monitoring CCTV, patrolling the car park, or carrying out access control, our concierge security team are highly skilled security guards that are always on the lookout for threats. They will act as the eyes and ears of your building, deterring crime in a highly visible manner. Should any incidents occur, they will prepare a detailed report with their findings so you’re informed as soon as possible.

Industry Leading Training

In today’s world, security guards can (and do) respond to every type of scenario. Through our pioneering Blackbird Academy training program, we equip our guards to feel confident they are trained to handle any eventuality their daily work throws at them. Modules we offer our concierge security team members include:

  • Advanced Security Training (taught by our in-house certified AST Training Manager)
  • Occupational First Aid (OFA) Certification

Package Handling

As more and more Canadians shop online, concierges are playing an increasingly important role in facilitating the process. After all, there’s nothing worse than ordering a package and not being home to accept it. Our residential concierge security team are happy to fulfill this task, safely holding packages until they’re ready to pick up.

Enforce Building Policies

The close quarters nature of apartment life can often result in unintended issues. Perhaps one resident is creating noise problems at night, or, a unit is hosting a boisterous party in the early hours. Whatever the issue, our residential concierge security guards are happy to enforce your building policies, with dedicated conflict resolution training ensuring tensions are diffused before they can become a problem.

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
