What we do

Our Security Services

Every post is staffed by a licensed officer, supervised, and documented with written reports you actually receive.

Unarmed Security Guards

Uniformed officers for daily presence, access control, lobby and gate posts, and foot patrol. The visible deterrent most properties need.

Armed Security Guards

Officers holding a state firearms permit for higher-risk sites: cash handling, dispensaries, jewelry, late-night venues and executive posts.

Mobile Patrol

Marked vehicle patrols on a randomized schedule, with time-stamped checkpoint logs so you can see every visit that happened.

Event Security

Door, crowd management, VIP and parking for one-night and multi-day events. Staffed to the headcount, not to a template.

Construction Site Security

Overnight, weekend and holiday coverage for equipment, copper and materials, plus gate control for deliveries and subcontractors.

Fire Watch

Hourly patrols and written logs while an alarm, sprinkler or standpipe system is down, meeting fire marshal requirements.

Alarm Response

An officer goes to the site so you do not have to at 3am. Full report on what was found, and who else was notified.

Parking & Traffic Control

Lot enforcement, permit checks, tow coordination, and directing traffic for events and busy retail weekends.

Loss Prevention

Uniformed or plain-clothes floor coverage for retail, with documented incidents you can hand to police or your insurer.

Why Blackhawk

Why Clients Choose Us

Most of the properties we cover already had a guard company. We are usually the second call, and then we stay.

01

A licence you can verify

Every officer carries a state guard card, and our company PPO number, 17762, is on the public California BSIS register. Look ours up. Look up whoever covers you now.

02

Coverage when the other company cannot staff it

Short-notice, same-day and same-night posts. A guard calling out on a Saturday at 8pm is the call we are built to take.

03

No long contract to get started

Quote one shift, one event or one weekend. If it works, we talk about something ongoing. If it does not, you have lost an evening.

04

Supervised posts, real reports

Field supervisors check posts through the shift, and you get a written daily activity report instead of finding out a month later that nobody was there.

05

Local dispatch, not a call centre

We dispatch from Pasadena and cover Southern California. You talk to someone who knows your site and can move an officer.

06

Armed or unarmed, matched to the risk

We will tell you when a site does not need an armed officer. Over-specifying a post costs you money and changes nothing.

Common questions

Frequently Asked

Are your guards licensed?

Yes. Every officer holds a California guard card issued by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, and armed officers additionally hold a state firearms permit. The company operates under PPO 17762, which anyone can verify on the BSIS public register.

Can you cover a shift tonight?

Often, yes, depending on the location and the post. Short-notice and same-night coverage is a large part of what we do. Call and we will tell you straight away whether we can staff it.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. We will quote a single shift, a single event or one weekend. Ongoing coverage is a conversation you have after you have seen how we work, not before.

Do I need armed or unarmed officers?

It depends on the site, the hours and what you are protecting. We will tell you on the walkthrough, including when a site does not need an armed officer.

What does a guard cost?

Rates depend on armed or unarmed, the number of hours, the day of the week and the location. We quote in writing after the walkthrough so there are no surprises on the invoice.

How far do you travel?

We dispatch from Pasadena and cover roughly a three-hour radius: Los Angeles and Orange County, the Inland Empire, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Diego, the Coachella Valley and Bakersfield.
