How much does a security guard cost in Sacramento?

Mobile patrol coverage starts at $15 per night. Dedicated unarmed guards typically run $28–$38/hr and armed guards $38–$55/hr in the Sacramento region, depending on shift length, risk profile, and BSIS requirements.

Are Stormhammer guards licensed?

Yes. Stormhammer Private Security operates under California BSIS PPO licensing. All guards carry current BSIS guard cards; armed officers carry valid exposed-firearm permits.

How fast can patrol coverage start?

Most Sacramento-area properties can be onboarded within 24–48 hours. Emergency same-day coverage is available for active vandalism, squatter, or trespasser incidents.

Do you provide GPS-tracked patrols and reports?

Every shift is GPS-tracked with timestamped checkpoints and photo-verified incident reports delivered the same morning.

Who runs Natomas patrol in 95833, 95834 and 95835?

Stormhammer Security, Inc. runs nightly Natomas patrol — apartment, drive-by, community, construction and new-development security — across all five Natomas ZIPs (95833, 95834, 95835, 95836, 95837). Marked Ford Explorer SUVs, body-cam officers, GPS-stamped tours from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Call (530) 902-9390 for same-night dispatch.

What is a Natomas drive-by patrol and how often do you come through?

A Natomas drive-by patrol is a randomized marked-SUV slow-pass of your property's full perimeter with amber light bar engaged. Standard schedule is 3–5 visits per night between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., randomized so trespassers can't pattern the route. Every drive-by drops a GPS pin, a timestamp, and a photo on the sunrise PDF.

How much does Natomas drive-by patrol cost?

$15 per GPS-stamped drive-by tour. A typical 4-tour night runs $45–$60. HOA, PM portfolio, and new-development bulk pricing drops to $11–$13 per tour on annual contract. No fuel surcharge, no shift minimums.

What's Natomas community patrol and how is it different from drive-by?

Natomas community patrol is HOA / neighborhood-watch level coverage — common-area sweeps, park and greenbelt checks, mailbox-bank walks, school perimeter pre-dawn, and resident-direct dispatch number. Drive-by is the route; community patrol adds the foot-walk and resident contact layer on top.

Do you do Natomas construction security and patrol on active job sites?

Yes. Natomas construction security covers the full project lifecycle — perimeter drive-by during framing, lock-up of conex containers, copper/tool theft deterrence, after-hours dispatch on motion alarms, fence-cut inspection, and dedicated on-site overnight guards for sites with active break-in patterns. $15/visit patrol or $189/night dedicated officer.

Do you secure new Natomas development projects (land development & spec builds)?

Yes — new Natomas development security is a specialty. We secure raw land before vertical work starts (illegal dumping, encampment, copper-wire stripping at utility tie-ins), guard model homes during sales hours, lock up unfinished spec inventory at night, and run pre-occupancy patrols on completed phases. Same $15/visit rate or per-site standing-guard pricing.

How fast can Natomas patrol start at my property?

Same night for active incidents — break-ins, squatters, ongoing trespass, drug activity. 24–48 hours for scheduled recurring drive-by, apartment, or construction patrol. Phone walkthrough, emailed post orders, marked SUV on the route within the week.

Is Natomas patrol licensed and insured?

Yes — Stormhammer Security, Inc. holds California BSIS Private Patrol Operator license PPO #121830 with $2M general liability and workers' compensation. Verifiable on the BSIS license-lookup portal.

What's included in the Natomas sunrise patrol report?

Per-tour GPS timestamp + map pin, photo log of every checkpoint, body-cam clips of any contact, lawful CA PC §602 trespass paperwork, tow-tag log with plate + unit, lighting outage list for maintenance, copper/tool theft attempt photos on construction sites, and an incident summary — one consolidated PDF per property before the leasing or job-site office opens.

Do you handle Natomas Sacramento International Airport (SMF) corridor properties?

Yes — the SMF corridor and Gateway Center industrial / hospitality cluster are part of standard Natomas patrol coverage. Hotel parking-lot drive-bys, warehouse perimeter sweeps, rideshare-lot trespass enforcement, and after-hours dock-door checks.

Can I get armed Natomas patrol for high-risk sites?

Yes — armed BSIS exposed-firearm-permit officers are available for retail loss-prevention, cannabis, cash-handling, after-hours bank ATM service, and construction sites with documented armed-suspect history. Quote on request.
