Common questions

How much do security guards cost?+
Unarmed coverage starts at $27 per hour; armed coverage starts in the mid-$30s. Vehicle patrol starts at $35 per stop. Exact pricing depends on hours, officer count, site type and schedule — the online quote returns your exact number in about sixty seconds.
Is there a long-term contract?+
No. Ongoing coverage runs month-to-month; short-term jobs (events, fire watch, fumigation, vacancies) are quoted flat for their window.
How fast can a guard be on my site?+
Most sites staff same-day to 48 hours. Emergencies mobilize in hours, any day of the year — call (310) 209-8119.
Are your officers licensed and insured?+
Every officer is state-licensed, background-checked, and covered by full company liability insurance. Certificates of insurance naming your property are issued at signature. SECURICO is licensed in every state we operate.
Armed or unarmed — which do I need?+
If your site handles significant cash or high-value inventory, has had a violent incident, or faces a documented threat, armed coverage earns its premium. For most sites, professional unarmed presence delivers the deterrence you need — and we recommend honestly rather than upsell.
Do you provide guards for one-day events?+
Constantly — events, weddings, corporate functions and film shoots are standard short-term work, with certificates of insurance issued to your venue.
What areas do you cover?+
Hundreds of cities across California today, with multi-state mobilization in 48 hours. Browse every covered city at our locations directory.
How do I know the guard is actually doing rounds?+
GPS-verified patrol trails, time-stamped checkpoint scans and photo reporting on every shift — visible to you live in the client portal. Rounds either happened or they did not; the record settles it.
What happens if an officer calls off?+
The 24-hour operations center backfills the post before your site notices a gap. Coverage continuity is our problem, not yours.
Can you take over from our current guard company?+
Yes — transitions are routine: we run the walkthrough and post orders while your notice period runs, and take the post over with zero coverage gap.
Do you provide certificates of insurance?+
Yes — COIs naming your property or venue, issued at signature and renewed automatically.
What if we are not happy with an assigned officer?+
Tell your account manager — officer changes are handled promptly and without friction. The post standard is ours to keep.
Do rates change for overnights, weekends or holidays?+
Overnight and weekend mixes are priced into your quote up front — no surprise line items. Holiday coverage is confirmed in advance at quoted rates.
Can you handle multiple properties under one agreement?+
Yes — portfolio coverage under one agreement with per-site post orders and one report feed is one of our most common configurations.
Do you require a deposit?+
Standard accounts are invoiced on terms; some short-term and event jobs are prepaid. Your quote and agreement spell it out — no surprises.
Are your officers employees or gig workers?+
SECURICO officers work under our supervision, our post orders, our training and our insurance — one accountable standard, not an app full of strangers.
Can I get one guard for one night?+
Yes — one post, one night is a normal job for us, priced flat for the window.
What is the difference between security and off-duty police?+
Off-duty officers cost multiples more and are often restricted in private-property roles. For most sites, licensed private security delivers the presence and documentation you actually need at a fraction of the rate.

Coverage where your sites are

One operations standard from coast to coast: the same licensed officers, written post orders and live reporting, whether you run one site or a portfolio across state lines.
