Founded in 2013 by industry expert Tom Keener, Blackhawk Security has built a strong reputation as a trusted provider of advanced security solutions throughout Hawaii. Over the years, the company expanded its capabilities by investing in advanced technologies, growing a skilled team of security professionals, and building long term relationships with clients across a wide range of industries. As Blackhawk’s expertise and client base continued to grow, the company became well positioned for its next chapter.
In 2026, Blackhawk Security was acquired by Security 101, one of the nation’s leading providers of integrated commercial security systems. This partnership allows Blackhawk to continue serving clients with the same trusted local team while providing access to expanded engineering resources, a nationwide network, and industry-leading security technologies.
Our team of experienced professionals, including Executive Management, Field Managers, Certified Technicians, and Administrative Staff, continues to deliver customized security solutions that protect people, property, and critical assets across Hawaii.
