All questions →

Are you licensed?

Yes. Safelite Guard Security Service, Inc. holds California Private Patrol Operator license PPO #122394, issued by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS).

Do I need armed or unarmed officers?

Most sites are well served by unarmed officers. Armed officers make sense for high-value property, cash handling or sites with a history of violent incidents. We give you an honest recommendation during the site walk.

How quickly can you start?

We confirm a start date with your quote. Short-notice requests and one-day events are welcome. Call us and we will tell you what is possible.

What does security cost?

Rates depend on armed or unarmed officers, the hours and the site. Send the quote form or call, and we will give you a clear price.
