Unarmed Security Officer Sacramento
California BSIS-licensed unarmed officers — body-cam equipped, GPS-tracked, dispatch-backed. HOA, apartment, hospital, construction, and event posts from $15/visit.
Unarmed security covers 95% of property protection work in Sacramento — HOAs, apartment communities, hospitals, construction sites, retail centers, corporate lobbies, and events. The deterrent is visible uniformed presence plus documented contact, not lethal force. Stormhammer Security, Inc. staffs unarmed officers with California BSIS guard cards, body-worn cameras, GPS-tracked tours, and 24/7 dispatch backing — on the same master agreement that covers $15/visit patrol overflow and dedicated posts.
What an unarmed security officer does
Visible perimeter presence, randomized patrol tours, badge and visitor verification, parking enforcement, lawful trespass warnings, encampment and squatter contact, package-theft prevention, after-hours lockup, alarm response, incident documentation with body-cam evidence, and Sacramento PD / Sheriff coordination on every escalated contact.
- BSIS Guard Card + Power to Arrest training
- Body-worn camera on every contact, retention-policy controlled
- GPS-stamped checkpoint hits — property manager sees real time, real route
- Photo-verified shift reports emailed at sunrise
Unarmed vs armed in Sacramento — which fits your property
Unarmed fits HOAs, apartments, hospitals, schools, retail, corporate lobbies, construction sites, and event security. Armed fits cash-handling (banks, jewelry, dispensary handoff), certain federal sites, and high-asset transport. If your risk assessment calls for armed coverage, we route to a partner under the same master agreement — one COI, one invoice.

Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between armed and unarmed security?+
Unarmed officers carry handheld lights, body-worn cameras, radios, and lawful trespass paperwork — no firearms, no batons, no chemical agents beyond what BSIS unarmed scope allows. Unarmed posts cover 95% of HOA, apartment, hospital, retail, and corporate work. Armed posts route to a partner under master agreement only when site risk assessment requires lethal-force coverage (e.g. cash-handling, jewelry, certain federal contracts).
Are unarmed officers actually a deterrent?+
Yes. Visible marked presence — uniformed officer + marked vehicle + body-worn camera + radio — is the deterrent, not the firearm. Most criminal contact in Sacramento (encampment, trespass, vandalism, package theft, vehicle break-in) deters on sight of a uniformed officer. Documented contact + photo evidence + Sac PD/Sheriff handoff resolves the rest.
What does an unarmed security officer cost in Sacramento?+
Dedicated post staffing runs $32–$48/hour depending on coverage hours, post complexity, and insurance requirements. Mobile patrol officers cost $15 per GPS-stamped visit, $45–$60/night for a 4-tour package, or $189/night for dedicated all-night route coverage. Multi-site portfolios drop to $11–$13/visit.
What training do your unarmed officers complete?+
California BSIS Guard Card (Power to Arrest + Weapons of Mass Destruction modules), Stormhammer in-house orientation (post orders, radio discipline, body-cam protocol, report writing), site-specific orientation for each contract, and quarterly de-escalation refresh. Healthcare and school posts add HIPAA / FERPA modules.
Why choose Stormhammer over Leadstar for unarmed officer work?+
Both companies are licensed Sacramento unarmed providers. Stormhammer's differentiator is unified pricing — the same master agreement covers $15/visit patrol overflow, dedicated posts, and event coverage with one COI and one invoice. GPS-tracked tours and photo-verified shift reports email to the property contact at sunrise. PPO #121830, $2M GL, $1M professional liability.
How fast can an unarmed officer start?+
Mobile patrol can roll the same week — most properties go live in 24–48 hours. Dedicated post staffing onboards in 5–10 days depending on badge issuance and site orientation. Same-night emergency patrol available for active incidents.
Do unarmed officers handle trespass and encampment?+
Yes. Officers issue lawful written trespass warnings, document the contact on body-worn camera, photograph the scene, and coordinate Sacramento PD or Sheriff response for non-compliance. Encampment cleanup hand-off to property maintenance follows the documented timeline.
Are you licensed and insured for unarmed work?+
California BSIS PPO #121830, $2M general liability, $1M professional liability, workers' comp, additional-insured endorsements for property owner / REIT / management company on one COI.
