PROCESS

How it works

  1. 01

    Site Survey

    Operations supervisor walks your commercial property — entry points, public-area flow, after-hours access, prior incident patterns, current security systems (CCTV, alarms, access cards). Result: a written security plan tailored to your property type and threat profile.

  2. 02

    Officer Matching

    Officers selected from our roster based on property type and any specialty needs — lobby concierge experience for Class A office, loss-prevention training for retail, dispensary experience for cannabis, language fluency where needed.

  3. 03

    Briefing and Deployment

    Pre-deployment briefing covers your property layout, employee codes, emergency contacts, lockup procedures, and any prior threat history. Officers report to assigned posts on day one of coverage.

  4. 04

    Active Coverage

    Officers maintain assigned posts or patrol routes. Continuous radio plus cell contact with 24/7 duty supervisor. Hourly radio checks. All observed activity logged with timestamps. Any incidents trigger immediate 911 escalation.

  5. 05

    Reporting and Optimization

    Daily activity report emailed to property management each morning. Weekly summary flags patterns and escalating threats. Monthly QA review with operations supervisor optimizes deployment based on observed activity.

FAQ

Common questions

What types of commercial properties do you cover?

Class A office buildings, retail stores, shopping centers, industrial sites, warehouses and distribution centers, medical and dental offices, restaurants and hospitality, cannabis dispensaries, auto dealerships, banks, and mixed-use developments. Every property is scoped to its specific risk profile.

Are your commercial officers armed or unarmed?

Both options are available depending on threat profile. Class A office lobbies, medical offices, and most retail are typically unarmed. Cannabis dispensaries, banks, cash-handling sites, and high-threat scenarios are typically armed. Armed officers hold DOJ-issued exposed-carry firearm permits.

Can you cover multiple commercial locations under one contract?

Yes — multi-location enterprise coverage is standard. Volume-discounted pricing applies, with a single operations supervisor as the primary contact for all locations. Multi-property route patrol can also cover 5–15 properties on a sequenced route.

Do you provide loss-prevention coverage for retail?

Yes. Our retail LP service deploys plainclothes and uniformed BSIS-certified officers trained on California Penal Code §490.5 (merchant detention). See our dedicated retail loss prevention service.

How much does commercial security cost?

Unarmed standing officers run $28–34/hour. Armed officers run $34–42/hour. Specialty officers run $32–55/hour. Vehicle patrol per pass runs $45–65. 24/7 continuous coverage runs $22,000–$30,000 per month per post. Multi-location enterprise pricing offers volume discounts.

How fast can you deploy commercial security?

Emergency dispatch reaches our core LA coverage zone within 90 minutes (unarmed) or 2 hours (armed). Standard deployments for ongoing posts require 48–72 hours for officer selection, site briefing, and protocol drafting.
