Have had positive experiences in my dealings with Barbier Security Group. Have been to venues where they were present as well as noticed their patrol vehicles. Everyone has been courteous and helpful when approached with questions.

The "security guards" hired by Barbier are at best unprofessional and poorly trained, at worst they present themselves as rogue law enforcement. Shopping malls such as the Corte Madera Center should think twice before hiring . My problem started with one of their "guards" blocking in my car. It devolved from there with a barrage of bad attitudes and threats from Barbier. The public should know that these private "guards" have NO more power to detain and conduct law enforcement than any other private citizen. Yes, getting qualified help is a problem in this economy but having "guards" that attempt to intimidate customers is bad for anybody who hires such individuals. Anybody considering hiring a private security firm should really double down on scrutinizing who they will choose to represent their business. If they present with a belligerent, wanna-be-a -cop attitude don't hire them, unless you like losing customers.

Can’t speak more highly of Barbier Security Group! Our elementary school tried a new event this year and had over 300 people attend at a public park. We wanted to make sure that students and families felt safe and that there was a professional safety presence. Our PTA contacted Barbier Security. They verified our needs and purpose of security. The Security Agent who showed up constantly communicated with the PTA president and school principal. He was friendly, yet serious and professional. Families felt respected and safe - exactly the mood we wanted to create! We will definitely be using Barbier Security Group again.

This company really disappointed me. We had an issue with a homeless camp and homeless people breaking open a security gate. The neighbors said they saw they were armed on video. The only thing the ex-cop owner had to say about the incredibly disturbing and ongoing problem involving our shared property was that it wasn't their responsibility. Because the homeless people weren't there at the time even though there clearly was a homestead 45 feet from my parking spot. It was all about how technically they have to do nothing. Now granted people smoke pot, drink and party all the time near this spot and never have I seen a single security guard come by. The security company takes our money and tries to tow our cars but I see no other benefit. They think they are our adversary not their entire source of income.

The attitude of the owner was so unacceptably rude and combative that it's impossible to say anything good about this 'security' company. And on top of that the security is non-existent. I hope the owners understand what security is.

I was a regular at Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael where Barbier had the contract to provide security services. The Barbier agents served a sometimes difficult clientele, Deadheads, with total professionalism and friendliness. As front line representatives of Phi Lesh and family they served the venue and client base extremely well. I'd hire them in a second if I needed security services.
