Perimeter and yard patrol
Perimeter fence and trailer yard patrol every 30–60 minutes — visible marked patrol vehicle, uniformed officer, flashlight sweep of all gates, man-doors, roof-access points and dock leveler pits. Every patrol round is GPS-logged for the shift report.
Cargo theft deterrence
Cargo theft in the Sacramento metro spiked 42% in the last 24 months per CargoNet. Visible uniformed patrol during the 8pm–4am window is the single biggest deterrent. We log every unfamiliar vehicle, capture plates, and coordinate with the Sacramento PD cargo theft unit when a pattern emerges — clients get an early warning before losses hit the books.
Food-grade and cold-storage compliant
Officers trained on GMP, SQF and BRC protocol for food-grade facilities. Cold-storage assignments enforce door-open time limits, escort all contractors inside temperature-controlled zones, and photograph any product staged in the dock plate area.
Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
What does a warehouse security guard do?+
Warehouse security guards cover four core scopes: (1) loading dock check-in — verifying driver ID, bill of lading, trailer seal numbers; (2) perimeter fence and yard patrol every 30–60 minutes; (3) after-hours access control at the man-door and rollup gates; (4) cargo theft deterrence through visible patrol during high-risk night hours. Every shift ends with a timestamped patrol log emailed to warehouse leadership.
How much does a warehouse security guard cost in Sacramento?+
Standard unarmed warehouse guard staffing in Sacramento runs $28–$38/hour per post. Continuous 24/7 coverage (three 8-hour shifts) is roughly $19,000–$26,000/month. Most Sacramento warehouses run a night-shift-only post (6pm–6am, 7 days) for $6,500–$9,000/month, blended with a roving mobile patrol during the day. Stormhammer Security, Inc. publishes flat monthly pricing — no surprise overtime.
Do you handle driver and trailer check-in?+
Yes. Loading dock officers verify driver ID against the appointment schedule, log bill-of-lading and trailer seal numbers, direct drivers to the correct door, and record trailer arrival/departure times. Every check-in is logged on a tablet with photo capture of the driver ID and trailer seal — the log integrates with most WMS and TMS platforms via CSV export.
Can you cover cold storage and food-grade warehouses?+
Yes. Cold storage adds specific protocols: door-open time enforcement, contractor escort inside temperature-controlled zones, and photo documentation of any product staged in the dock plate area. Food-grade warehouses (SQF/BRC certified) get officers trained on GMP requirements — no eating, no smoking, hairnets and steel-toe boots on every shift.
How do you deter cargo theft at Sacramento warehouses?+
Cargo theft in the Sacramento metro spiked 42% in the last 24 months (CargoNet 2024). Visible uniformed patrol during the 8pm–4am window is the single biggest deterrent — theft rings scout facilities and move on when they see a marked patrol vehicle and officer. We also log every unfamiliar vehicle in the yard, capture plates on tablets, and coordinate with Sacramento PD cargo theft unit when a pattern emerges.
Do you support 3PL and distribution center accounts?+
Yes. Stormhammer Security, Inc. serves 3PLs, distribution centers, cross-dock facilities and last-mile hubs across the McClellan, Metro Air Park, Natomas industrial corridor, Sacramento Executive, Elk Grove, Roseville and Rocklin industrial parks.
