FAQ

Common questions

What types of security guard services do you offer?

We offer 15+ distinct guard service categories: armed and unarmed officers, standing posts, foot and vehicle patrol, alarm response, executive protection, lobby concierge, event security, construction-site security, retail loss prevention, access control, fire watch, parking enforcement, and emergency / temporary deployments. Every category staffed by BSIS-certified officers.

Are all your officers BSIS-licensed?

Yes — every officer carries a current California BSIS guard card with active continuing-education credits. Armed officers additionally hold DOJ-issued exposed-carry firearm permits and complete annual firearm-handling recertification. Live Scan FBI/DOJ background check completed before deployment for every officer.

How fast can you deploy officers?

Emergency deployments reach 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, briefing, and protocol drafting. Multi-officer surge deployments (4+ officers) can also be same-day for urgent scenarios.

Do you cover Orange County and Ventura County?

Yes. Core coverage is Greater Los Angeles (Chatsworth, Northridge, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, DTLA, Mid-City, Glendale, Pasadena, Santa Monica), with extended coverage across Orange County and Ventura County. Response times to extended zones add 30–90 minutes vs core LA.

How much do your security guard services cost?

Unarmed standing officers run $28–34/hour. Armed run $34–42/hour. Specialty officers (LP, EP, lobby concierge) run $32–55/hour. Mobile patrol runs $185–250 per multi-pass night. 24/7 continuous standing coverage runs $22,000–$30,000 per month per post. All pricing is custom-scoped — initial consultation and written quote are free.

Can we hire one officer or do you require a minimum team?

Single-officer engagements are common — most lobby concierge posts, standing posts, and small-event coverage are single-officer. Minimum engagement length is 4 hours per shift; minimum contract length is typically one shift (no long-term commitment required for standard guard services).
