Start Your Estimate

A few quick details. Your number today.

Why we give you a number fast

Pricing security work is not a mystery. Once we know the service, the hours, the location, and the level of coverage, we build your estimate right away. You are not waiting on a callback to find out roughly what this will cost. Knowing your number now lets you make a decision now.

Need coverage fast, not just a price

A fast estimate is only half of it. When the situation is urgent, we can often have officers on site within a few hours of confirming your coverage. Knowing the cost now and getting boots on the ground quickly is what sets us apart when timing matters.

What unarmed security coverage can cost

We cover all 50 states, and rates are not the same everywhere. Local wage rates, labor costs, and market conditions shift from one part of the country to another, so the same coverage can run differently from one city to the next. That is why there is a range instead of one flat rate, and your location is one of the things that sets where your estimate lands.

$37–$57 / hour
Unarmed coverage can typically run $37 to $57 per hour. These are estimates, not a binding quote. Where your job lands depends on the details below.

Location

Rates vary across the country. The same coverage can run differently from one market to the next.

Contract length

Long term, ongoing coverage trends toward the low end.

Coverage hours

Standard daytime posts cost less than overnight or around the clock coverage.

Site risk

A quiet property estimates lower than a high traffic or higher risk site.

Guard count

The number of officers on site changes the total.

As a rule of thumb, a long term, standard daytime post sits near the low end, and short notice, overnight, or higher risk coverage moves toward the top of the range.

Armed, fire watch, and emergency coverage

These are specialized services, and they require a higher rate than unarmed coverage. The right number depends on the assignment, so the fastest way to see yours is to request an instant estimate.

What every estimate includes

Our rate is not just a person standing at a post. You are getting a managed service.

  • Licensed, insured officers who are vetted and background checked
  • 24/7 live dispatch staffed by real people, not an answering service
  • Proactive notification when an incident happens, so you are never the last to know
  • Accountability and follow through on every assignment

How we compare

Across the industry, getting a security quote usually means filling out a form and waiting for a callback. The price comes later, if it comes at all. We built the opposite.
