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.

Can patrol replace my loss prevention officer?

For most small-format retail in Sacramento, yes — multiple nightly visits and visible storefront sweep replace the need for a full-time LP at a fraction of the cost. Bigger-format and high-shrink stores typically pair patrol with a static daytime LP officer.

Do you handle lock-up at close and unlock at open?

Yes — both are bundled into the $15/visit plan for Sacramento retail clients. The morning report includes timestamps and photos for both events.
