Municipal Services

A force-multiplier for cities.

Blackwater partners with cities across Los Angeles, San Bernardino and the Inland Empire to extend coverage, ease pressure on local PD and deliver visible community presence — from City Hall to parks and business districts.

Beyond Patrol · Alliance

An A-to-Z public safety partner for your city.

Through our strategic alliance with Rockeye Consulting Services, Blackwater delivers more than officers on site — planning, training and recovery wrap around every protection contract.

FAQ

City questions.

Can Blackwater respond to an RFP or piggy-back an existing contract?

Yes. We routinely respond to municipal RFPs and, where allowed, piggy-back existing cooperative agreements to accelerate procurement.

Are you insured to city standards?

Yes. We maintain general liability, auto and workers' comp coverage at municipal-grade limits and can name additional insureds.

How do you coordinate with our police department?

Our dispatch operates on Kolgoik CAD and we build direct radio and phone links with your PD's watch commander.

Do you use body cameras?

Yes. Every municipal officer wears an Axon body camera with cloud storage and chain-of-custody controls.
