Built on Discipline, Driven by Purpose
Black Belt Security & Investigations, LLC was incorporated in 2010. In December 2012, founder Eldridge Hawkins Jr. obtained his NJ Security Agency License — marking the official launch of licensed operations and the beginning of BBSI as a fully credentialed security firm. Built on a simple principle: every business deserves professional-grade security without the bureaucratic runaround.
We established BBSI as a minority-owned enterprise, earning our NJ MBE and SBE certifications and growing into a trusted partner for commercial property managers, housing authorities, and corporate clients across the tri-state area. Our name reflects our philosophy — like the discipline required to earn a black belt, our officers are trained to the highest standards: calm under pressure, decisive when it counts, and always professional.
From our headquarters in East Orange, NJ, we deploy armed and unarmed officers, mobile patrol units, executive protection specialists, and licensed investigators across New Jersey and New York — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
