Not a guard company. A law enforcement team that does private security.

Blackout Security Services was founded by Kevin Ruiz, an active sworn Southern California law enforcement officer with patrol and task force experience. He built the company around what he saw on the job: most security fails because nobody is accountable for it.

What we do differently

  • Officers, not warm bodies. Every officer is background checked, licensed, uniformed or suited for the post, and supervised.
  • Reports that hold up. Incidents are documented the way police reports are written: who, what, when, where, with photos and timestamps. They stand up with insurers, property managers, attorneys, and the agency that takes the case.
  • Old craft, new tools. Experienced officers backed by NFC checkpoints, geofencing, GPS tracking, and photo logs that show exactly when your property was checked.
  • Owner direct. You reach Kevin. No call center, no account rep who has never seen your property.
  • Discretion. NDAs available on request, and no client names in marketing, ever.

How our officers are staffed

Off duty and retired law enforcement officers work through our private patrol license and hold the California registrations and permits their post requires. Our officers represent Blackout, never their department: no agency uniforms, badges, or patrol style vehicles.

About the owner

Kevin Ruiz is an active sworn Southern California law enforcement officer with patrol and task force experience. He founded Blackout after years of seeing the same problem from the police side: guards who weren't where they were supposed to be, reports nobody could use, and clients who couldn't reach anyone responsible. Blackout is built to fix all three. He still answers the phone himself.

Technology

Our officers work on our own proprietary accountability platform: NFC checkpoint scans, geofencing, GPS tracking, and real time incident logging with photos. At the end of each service period, clients receive a documented report of every check and every incident. See how it works.

“Kevin provided security services at a recent event I hosted. This security company is second to none! Kevin was punctual and extremely professional! Oh and it's law enforcement owned! Give him a call if you're ever in need of his service, I guarantee you'll be as satisfied as me!!”
