How to Get 24 Hour Security Services for Your Business … For Much Less than the Cost of 24/7 Security Guards

How much would 24 hour security guard service cost for your business? In California the average rate is $20 to 30 an hour, depending on several options. (We can give you an exact quote if you’re interested in standing or patrol security guard service.) That means you’d invest $480 to $720 a day and up to $21,600 a month for visible, uniformed security officers to patrol your business 24 hours a day. For a very large organization, manufacturer, or 24 hour health care facility for example, this would be an important business security investment.security systems shield showing 24 hours 7 days service.

For a smaller business, an office, or warehouse location, though, this is probably a much bigger commitment than you can afford or need. You might be tempted to have occasional security guards on site – which could be an option for specific events or a certain time of the year – but you must have some level of security, protection, or monitoring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Because criminals don’t take time off. You know that they go to work when honest business owners have gone home to rest. And thieves and burglars don’t care if you’re not a big business. In fact, they often target smaller businesses because they think they’re less protected.

Instead of being vulnerable, though, technology has now made it possible for you to have effective business security systems operating 24/7 no matter what size your business is.

How Many Layers of Business Security Do You Need?
