Through constant vigilance and observation, they can quickly intervene and de-escalate situations that may lead to conflicts or disturbances. Their presence also serves as a visual deterrent to potential wrongdoers, reducing the likelihood of criminal acts. Security personnel are professionally trained in emergency response procedures. They possess the necessary knowledge and skills to handle various crisis situations, including medical emergencies, fires, or natural disasters. Their ability to maintain composure, communicate effectively, and coordinate with emergency services is crucial for minimizing harm and ensuring the safety of individuals within their jurisdiction.

With all this security on the line, what better way to entrust the safety of everyone to the experts? Blackout Investigation and Security Services was established in 2006 by a retired Maryland State Police First Sergeant and former Marine. Mr. Guy N Black is the Owner/President at Blackout Investigations. Bringing his expertise in his business, they train all their personnel to provide honest hardworking professionals that are a cut above the other companies. Quality employee always makes a difference. With this step they made Blackout gain a reputation as one of the top security companies in the state of Maryland.

Being in a security field is not easy to get in especially in Blackout since every employee working for Blackout has been selected after a strict selection process. The company has a proven reputation for reducing losses through theft and damage of business and personal assets. Blackout has a long list of satisfied customers past and present that will readily attest to this fact. With this reputation comes great responsibility as Blackout was able to close a deal before with Whiting and Turner construction at the new MGM Casino at National Harbor providing them with both armed and unarmed guard service. At that location, they used 30 different guards per day working around the clock 24/7. Another one of the company’s significant clients that we provide armed guards for is Levy Restaurants at the new Washington Nationals Baseball stadium in Washington DC. Since the 2008 baseball season, they have been responsible for collecting and securing one million dollars (1,000,000.00) in cash on any given game day.

Mr. Black has amassed an impressive resume with the many supervisory positions he has held such as Associate Academy Instructor, Training Coordinator, Tactical Platoon Leader, Criminal Investigator Coordinator, Counter-Terrorism, Police Selection Committee, Crisis Management, Special Events Coordinator, Promotional Assessment, and a lot more proving that the company is in good hands and is being managed by someone with all the experts who are leading the company.

Like in troops, we always make sure that we always have a backup, and with Blackout, Mr. Black is being backed by two more veterans. A retired Police Officer with 25 years of Law Enforcement Experience. Robert Calhoun started his career as a Police Officer in 1988 with the Montgomery County Police Department before moving over to the Prince Georges County Police Department where he was assigned to Special Operations Division as a SWAT team member before his retirement in 2007 and now is Blackout’s Special events & personal protection. During Robert’s career as a county officer, he acquired a variety of experiences as the supervisor in charge of security for the County Administrative Building. He supervised over 30 civilian and sworn police officers. He developed expertise in CCTV, X-Ray and Metal Detectors, Alarms, Bomb Training, Emergency Building Evacuation, and Crowd Control.

The second one handles investigations team leader & personal protection, Darryl Morgan has over 20 years of Law Enforcement/Public safety experience. He is a former member of the United States Marine Corps. During his career with the Maryland State Police, he was assigned to the police academy as the lead instructor, responsible for training what many consider the best police officers in the state of Maryland. Darryl is a graduate of the University of Maryland at College Park. He has a BA Degree in Criminology. After retiring from the state police in 2000 he was hired by the District of Columbia Protective Services Police Department as a Captain responsible for Patrol Operations.
