How It Works & Quotes
From your first request to licensed officers on the job—and what goes into the price.
Four steps to coverage
The same simple process for every service, from a single event to ongoing patrols.
Send a quote request
Use our online form to tell us the property or event, the city, the dates and hours, and what worries you.
Talk it through
A supervisor follows up to understand the site, the schedule and the kind of coverage that fits—guards, patrols, alarm response, cameras or a mix.
Get a plan and a quote
You receive a coverage plan and a price built for your site. No package pricing, no paying for coverage you don’t need.
Coverage begins
Officers start on the agreed schedule, and our supervisors stay reachable 24/7/365 for as long as we’re working for you.
What shapes your quote
We do not sell packages. Your quote is built from the details of your site and schedule. These are the main factors:
Hours and schedule
How many hours a day, which days, and for how long: one night, an event, a season or ongoing.
Number of officers
One officer on a post or several, depending on the size and layout of the site.
Armed or unarmed
Armed coverage and unarmed coverage are quoted differently.
Uniformed or plain clothes
Whether you want a visible deterrent or a lower profile.
Patrol frequency
For patrols: how many checks, how many days a week, and whether alarm response is included.
Site details
For cameras and board-ups: the number of cameras or openings, indoor or outdoor work and cable runs.

When coverage needs to start. Short-notice requests are welcome.

Frequently asked questions
Do you publish prices?
No. Every job is quoted individually after you send a request through our contact form. Security guards come in two options, Contracted Protection and Short-Notice Protection, described on the guard pricing page. We do not quote jobs of less than 12 hours per week. Patrols, alarm response, cameras and other services are quoted to each site's hours, officers and services, so you pay for the coverage your site needs and nothing more.
What should I put in my quote request?
The service you are interested in, the city, the dates and hours, how many officers you think you need, armed or unarmed, and anything that worries you about the site.
Can I change my coverage later?
Yes. Tell us when your hours, property or concerns change and we will adjust the plan and quote.
How do I reach someone once service starts?
Our supervisors are available 24/7/365. Patrol clients also get direct contact with their patrol driver.
