Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does Blackstone Intelligence Group specialize in?
Blackstone Intelligence Group is a premier, intelligence-driven security firm that specializes in executive protection, threat mitigation, high-risk site security, surveillance system implementation, and physical security consulting. We operate with precision and discretion, protecting people, property, and information in environments where compromise is not an option.
How are you different from traditional security guard companies?
We don’t just sell hours—we deliver outcomes. Our team is comprised of elite professionals from federal agencies, military special operations, and law enforcement backgrounds with over multiple real-world deployments globally. We bring proven threat mitigation, tactical awareness, and executive protection experience into every assignment—delivering strategic results, not just presence.
Do you offer residential security or only corporate and government services?
Yes, we serve private residences, high-net-worth estates, and corporate campuses alike. Whether it's discreet 24/7 security for a family estate or advance team planning for a corporate executive's public appearance, we tailor every plan to match the unique risk environment and privacy requirements of the client.
Do you provide custom surveillance system implementation?
Absolutely. We don’t just install cameras—we design layered surveillance strategies. Our team identifies blind spots, analyzes access points, and integrates surveillance systems that enhance operational control across your facility. Every system is tailored to your layout, threat profile, and day-to-day function, ensuring true visibility and early threat detection.
Can I get a quote over the phone or online for your services?
No. We don’t offer templated packages or surface-level pricing. Every operation is unique, and real protection requires a full understanding of the threat environment, logistical needs, and client goals. For this reason, we begin with a private consultation—so we can build a strategy that’s aligned, precise, and worthy of your trust.
Is Blackstone the right fit for me if I’m comparing cost with other firms?
If price is your only concern, we may not be your best option. Our clients come to us because failure is not on the table. Cutting corners in this industry often leads to critical exposure—and we refuse to offer “budget” solutions that compromise safety. What we provide is peace of mind, operational dominance, and an unshakable security posture.
What qualifications do your agents have?
Our personnel come from the highest echelons of federal law enforcement, military special forces, and protective intelligence operations. Each agent is rigorously vetted, continuously trained in executive protection tactics, defensive driving, surveillance detection, and real-time decision-making under pressure. When you hire Blackstone, you're not getting guards—you're getting operators.

Where do you operate geographically?
Blackstone Intelligence Group is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where we maintain our core leadership, logistics, and operational team. While our primary base is in the Twin Cities, we are built for mobility. Our personnel have the experience and infrastructure to deploy wherever our clients require — across the U.S. or abroad. Whether you're in need of executive protection in a major metropolitan area, site security for a rural property, or support during high-risk travel, we scale and adapt our services to meet the mission, wherever it takes us.
How quickly can your team be deployed?
At Blackstone Intelligence Group, we understand the urgency that security situations demand. While we strive to act swiftly, the deployment process begins with a thorough evaluation to fully understand your unique needs and risks.

Once the strategy is in place, we move rapidly to deploy our team with precision and professionalism, delivering the highest level of security and peace of mind.
