Barbier Security Group

We have worked with Barbier Security Group for years and have found their administration to be courteous and professional. They listen to our needs, make recommendations, and ensure we have the right amount of staff for all of our public and private events. Their staff arrives on time, are professional in appearance, friendly, competent, and their service gives our guests the sense of security and parking management that we have come to expect.

If you are in need of a highly professional, highly qualified security company… then look no further than at Barbier Security! My husband and I run an annual car show at the Solano County Fairgrounds, in Vallejo. We have around 400 cars and approx 1500 spectators and Barbier’s Security Guards have always been extremely reliable, extremely professional, and have always made us feel extremely secure. We were so impressed with the Assistant Manager, Anthony Corona that when we got married at the Empress Theater in downtown Vallejo, we felt like we needed a private security guard and he was the only person we felt could do the job. We highly recommend Barbier Security Group!

In my role as Facilities Operations Manager for the Osher Marin JCC, Evan and his team at Barbier Security Group have gone above and beyond over the years to ensure our safety and security.
They are extremely responsive to our recurring and real-​time security needs, providing consultation, threat evaluation, and response.
We have worked with other security agencies in the past, but no one has had a better pulse on the Marin County community.
Barbier is a trusted adviser that the JCC relies on to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all.
Highly recommend their services for your security needs.

We were out of town on the weekend and discovered that there was a problem at our construction site back in Marin County that required us to hire a security guard.
I have never needed a security guard before but after a quick search discovered that there were quite a few choices. Because it was the weekend and our construction project was on hold until we could get a security guard lined up for Monday morning, I started calling them up. Since it was the weekend, no one answered and after each message I left I began to get more and more worried that I would not be able to get anyone lined up for Monday morning.
To my surprise, I got a call back from Barbier Security group soon after leaving a message. We discussed the rates on the phone and came to an agreement. Problem solved!
On Monday morning their guard arrived at the construction site. He was pleasant and professional. All in all it was a great experience.
I hope that I will not ever be in a position where I will need a security guard again, but if I do, this time I won’t worry about it… I’ll just call Barbier Security!

One night I came out of Home Depot at about closing time. Out of curiostiy I wanted to go look at prices at Sonen BMW and on a whim I stopped there on my way home. So there I was, it was dark and the business was closed-​but there I was, on their property walking around and looking at expensive cars. Out comes a smiling security guard with Barbier’s distinctive outfit and logo.“Looking at the cars without having to be with a sales guy right?“he said to me. I realized that I must have looked somewhat suspicious-​yet he had the training, instinct and smarts to distinguish between me and a thug and treat the situation accordingly pretty professional in handling it just the right way ! I went on my way, he didn’t even have to go there with telling me to leave.
This is NOT your average security company obviously

As a Marin county native and local small business owner its very nice to see the professionalism that Barbier Security applies to working in our community.
My first experience with Barbier Security was at my apartment complex in Mill Valley. It was after midnight and I had locked myself out of my apartment! On site management had long since gone home and I was faced with the prospect of having to roust a locksmith. Luckily, a phone call to Barbier Security brought their patrol car to my front door within ten minutes. The guard let me into my apartment and even offered to help me unload my groceries!
The other day, while walking into the Trader Joe’s in the Montecito shopping center I observed one of their guards helping an elderly lady to cross the crosswalk; and on my way out I saw the same guard competently helping to diffuse what could have become an ugly confrontation between two motorists. I made a point to complement the guard on his actions.
Most recently I have seen Barbier Security in action at the H1N1 vaccination at the Marin Community Clinic in San Rafael. There were thousands of people present and all things considered the event was pretty efficient. Their performance at that event confirmed my previous experience.
In a field that has to deal with mostly gripes and complaints for a living, and people only taking notice when they’ve reason to complain, I’ve now THREE times come away with a positive experience of their service and feel compelled to write a review about a security company that presents a fit, well kept, and professional appearance that stands to challenge the negative stereotype of the fat lazy security guard.
