Services We Offer

Blackstorm Security has extensive experience in providing Manned Guarding resources, servicing a diverse range of operations including:

1. Residential Communities

The majority of home burglaries occur during the daytime when most people are away at work or school. The summer months of July and August have reported the most burglaries. The need to secure your home, property, and family is becoming increasingly necessary. The risk of personal attack, in your own home, although very rare, would be an extremely traumatizing event. The damage and inconvenience of having your property occupied by squatters could be very costly and deprive you of your property for a very long time.

Blackstorm Security provides Security Guards around the clock to deter burglars and home invaders from entering your residential community. We offer affordable monitored home security solutions. We adhere to the principle of prevention, through extensive preparation. You can safeguard your property with our highly trained personnel, state of the art security equipment, or a combination of both.

We have a range of residential solutions available to respond to your needs. These include guarding a single residence or supplying a team of officers with dogs for resident associations, supported by electronic systems. According to your preferences, our guards can be either a highly visible deterrent or a discrete part of the day-to-day running of your household. We work for you to prevent burglary, vandalism, personal attacks, or occupancy by squatters.

Residential Security:

Alarming statistics show that security concerns should be priority for all residential areas owing to the ever-present and growing security threat to individuals and property in conjunction with rising levels of crime. To sleep soundly, you need peace of mind. You need to know that what you value most like your home and family, is safe and protected.

Apartment Security Guard Services:

Apartment security is the major concern for homeowners and residents living in apartment complexes and communal condominiums. As long as shared the gates are used by many residents/owners, it is easier for the thieves to break into apartments without being noticed. The high volume of activity created by visitors, residents, and vendors can easily become a security risk, allowing thieves to capitalize on these vulnerabilities.

Almost two million burglaries occur in the U.S. each year at the alarming rate of 1 burglary every 13 seconds and over 2,000 vehicles stolen every day from the apartment complexes and buildings. Blackstorm Security prides itself on providing specialized guarding services that property owners/managers can rely on to protect their residents throughout Texas. Our tailored security services are created to meet your requirements for both luxury residential and low-income apartments.

2. Healthcare Security

Blackstorm Security is a provider of healthcare security services to hospitals and clinics, in particular, the National Health Service (NHS). We understand the enormous responsibilities and risks that the healthcare industry faces every day, not least of which is ensuring the safety and well-being of patients, staff and visitors alike, within a highly stressful environment and ever-tightening budgets.

To respond to this need, we have developed a team of specialist healthcare officers, each of whom is highly-trained to manage (often highly-charged) healthcare security situations sympathetically yet firmly. Typical healthcare areas in which we operate include:

Accident and Emergency Departments (A & E):

This is a particularly challenging environment and one in which our security offers have to manage patients under the influence of drink and drugs, who are frequently abusive and violent towards medical staff. Such situations can involve control and restraint, assisting the police and ejecting the violent or abusive.

Mental Health Units:

This area has unique situations for our officers to manage. Patients may be confused and disoriented so they have to be dealt with sympathetically. Our security staff also has to be on guard, since the situation can escalate rapidly and sometimes violently.

All our healthcare officers are trained in the Management of Actual or Potential Aggression (MAPA). These specialist services were developed out of an in-depth understanding of the issues facing healthcare professionals every day. Every healthcare situation is unique and we would be happy to discuss any additional healthcare services that you may require.

Security Patrols:

Uniformed officers patrol the hospital grounds and wards as a visible deterrent for the prevention of crime and disorder.

3. Retail Stores and Shopping Malls

Retail shopping stores are facing an increasing need for superior security. Thieves routinely fill their bags with merchandise and exit the store undetected. Employee theft can occur right under management's nose. Fortunately, Blackstorm Security can provide the right plan of action to put a stop to theft and shrinkage with retail security services. The need for superior retail security is increasing, and Blackstorm Security is equipped to handle the task. Every retail premises have onsite security issues of one kind or another. The problems include Shoplifting, Robbery, armed or otherwise Burglary, theft by employees, etc. It's no wonder that many retail proprietors feel themselves to be under siege!

Retail and Leisure:

Blackstorm Security offers security personnel for shopping malls and officers that provide Retail Security Services to clients including private investigation services and CCTV surveillance camera systems. Retail security services and retail security guard services can definitely help combat theft and stop retail loss effectively. All of retail security guards and retail security officers in our security guard company are trained to recognize and spot theft signs, prevent vandalism and maintain honest retail customers and honest employees feeling secure and protected at all times. Our company can implement retail security systems and CCTV security surveillance cameras or may install hidden surveillance cameras that may provide video surveillance documentation of theft or vandalism in the retail store or shopping mall.

Video surveillance may be viewed from the internet from a remote location or from anywhere the client or our office may have internet access. With a strong security presence and a security guard on duty and a customized security camera system at your establishment, employees, store managers, and shoppers may feel safe at all times, thus stopping theft and vandalism for good. Our Retail Security Guards may also guard against automobile vandalism, vehicle theft, vehicle break-ins, and personal attacks against store employees or store customers. Retail customers and employees walking to their vehicles may also be protected and secured from possible criminals and vandals that could easily attack or rob them without proper security guard services or retail security guards being present. It is very important to have the presence of a well-implemented security system or security guards at every retail store or shopping mall in efforts to deter crime or theft, thus maintaining a protected environment for all retail store customers and retail employees every day.

Hotel Security:

Hotels are one of the few buildings that can be entered without any restrictions. The more luxurious the surrounding of a hotel, the less security conscious the guests become. At Blackstorm Security we understand that each hotel or hotel group has different security requirements, according to its location, image, and clientele.

Our challenge is to acknowledge this and supply security officers who not only suit your safety needs but also blend into the unique style and atmosphere of your hotel. The protection of your property, guests, and employees is paramount. However, at the same time, we give equal consideration to customer service, image and health, and safety.

Our extensive knowledge in this area of security enables us to understand these issues, and our operations managers ensure that standards are always high and improvements are constantly made. With solutions including reception security and key management to internal investigations and providing front and back-of-house officers, our staff will complement and support your operation to ensure a friendly, welcoming, and non-hostile environment.

Hotel Security has special needs that are not present in other situations. Not only do guards have to monitor areas such as parking lots, but lobbies and other areas also must be guarded against theft. Guests routinely leave a bag or two behind when checking in, providing an excellent opportunity for thieves to grab something and attempt a quick getaway. These days, you can never be sure that things will go as planned, so having a security guard on duty is always a good strategy.

Shopping Malls

Mall Security guards and retail security guards conduct an array of retail security services and patrol services for shopping malls and retail stores. Today retail stores and malls cannot depend on the police to take care of all security concerns. In fact, retail malls and retail stores today face a larger need for security guard services as a direct consequence of the increased vandalism, crime, and retail theft. Thieves have become smarter and use strategic methods never used before. In some cases, theft may occur directly from retail store employees who usually have access to all merchandise and have ways to get away with the theft without management noticing the theft has occurred until it is too late. Without an effective security program and a security presence, scenarios like this can get very ugly. Today the need for retail security is rising, and our security company and security guard services are ready to help retail security clients with the professional retail security services expected.

Blackstorm security guards are trained to properly detect and report suspicious individuals. With the strong presence of an alert security guard, shoplifting individuals are more hesitant and less likely to go through with the criminal act because they know that the chances of getting caught are greater and the chances of escape are minimal. Our guards will patrol and carefully survey shopping/retail stores to deter and report shoplifting individuals to put a halt on unnecessary losses, leaving the performance of sales strictly up to the store managers and workers' efforts.

Vehicle Dealerships:

Vehicle dealerships are the perfect environment for an integrated security system which should include both video surveillance as well as visible security personnel, both because of the value of the inventory and its susceptibility to theft. Vehicles, depending on make, model, year, and features, can vary in price from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand dollars. Dealerships leave a large majority of their inventory out in parking lots - leaving million Dollar inventories exposed to theft.

Physical security devices such as high fences can be used to protect vehicles and premises but these can prevent potential buyers browsing stock when the dealership is closed. Barriers and wheel clamps can be used for car dealer security but these are perceived as an impractical nuisance by salespeople who are reluctant to remove the security device to give a prospect a test drive.

A specific security issue faced by new car dealers is the swell in vehicle numbers on site at certain times of the year. For example, on the lead up to new car registrations in March and September car dealers see massive increases in vehicles on site. Most of these vehicles are awaiting delivery to customers. Any theft or damage to these vehicles just prior to delivery often leads to cancellation by the customer.

Blackstorm Security is able to provide short term security cover to car dealers at these peak times.

Benefits of Dealership Surveillance

Prevent theft

Like other retail stores, the profit is the bottom line for auto dealerships. Protecting their inventory and potential profit is an essential aspect of sales, and with expensive inventory, security becomes that much more important. Video surveillance cameras placed around lots and the visibility of security personnel can help prevent thieves from taking cars, as well as help identify any thieves who steal cars.

Track customers and visitors

The ability to track customer's habits, especially correlating data between which cars customers look at and which they decide to purchase, can be valuable information for marketing, inventory and sales staff. Video security cameras, especially those equipped with intelligent video analytics technology, can help you count and track customers as they move around your business.

Protect building, employees and customers

Security guards together with surveillance cameras can help your security staff posted about any security issues that may arise throughout the day. Modern security cameras allow your security staff to be more flexible in their duties with features like video alerts. Instead of sitting in front of a monitor all day, guards can actively patrol your grounds and receive video alerts from networked cameras about issues that have arisen.

Over reliance

While video surveillance may be an effective security solution for an auto dealership, it should not be used as the sole security system. Rather, a system of security cameras together with security guards should work to enhance an existing security system.

Golf Estates

Blackstorm Security provides an all-encompassing service to golfing and residential estates affording the residents, members, and visitors maximum levels of safety and security. Prior to any engagement, a complete a comprehensive survey of the estate or property is conducted and a report is compiled with recommendations on the full spectrum of safety and security.
