Why it matters
Covered tonight. Reported by morning.
Every property has a few spots that worry its owner after dark: a side gate, a back lot, a yard full of trailers, a building that sits empty all weekend. Our job is to find those spots and keep them covered.
That can mean an officer at the door, a marked patrol car arriving at a different time each night, live eyes on your cameras, or a mix of all three. Every round is logged with the time, and a report is waiting in your email the next morning.

Guides for Gilroy owners and managers
One town, many kinds of nights
A Tuesday night in Gilroy depends a lot on the building. At a distribution building, the worry is the trailer row and the fence line. At a retail store, it is the empty lot after closing and the back door by the loading area. At a food processing plant in its off months, it is equipment sitting outside with nobody around. At an apartment community, it is the carports and the pool gate.
Each of those calls for its own mix of officers, patrol and cameras, and every plan can end the same way: a report in your email that tells you how the night went before your first coffee is finished.
Daytime is about people
During business hours, security is mostly about who walks through the door. At a downtown shop or a retail center, that means an officer at the entrance who learns the regulars, signs in vendors and keeps the lot in view. At a plant or distribution center, it means someone at the gate who knows which trucks are expected.
A property can need some of each, and the walkthrough is where we sort out which hours call for a person and which call for patrol or live camera watching.
Before you call
A few facts about how the property runs after closing are all it takes to get started.
What to expect from a Gilroy security guard company
Hiring a security guard company should feel simple. With us it starts with a free walkthrough, where we look at the gates, lots and doors that worry you and hear what has happened lately. You get written post orders and a quote with the hours and rate spelled out, and contracts run month to month, so the plan can change as quickly as your property does.
Every officer is background checked and holds a BSIS guard card before the first post, and supervisors visit posts for quality inspections. Our Gilroy security guards work throughout town, from downtown and the outlet area to the Highway 101 corridor, and in San Martin, Morgan Hill and Hollister. Start with a posted officer, choose armed or unarmed security guards, or let patrol cars carry the overnight hours.

A few useful answers
Questions Gilroy owners ask.
Do you offer armed and unarmed officers?
Yes, both. Unarmed officers suit most lobby, desk and patrol work, and the walkthrough will show whether your property needs more.
Can you help us this week?
Yes. Temporary officers can often be on post within a day. Call (408) 539-1820 rather than using the form so we can start lining up officers on the call.
Do you work nights and weekends?
Yes. Overnight, weekend and 24-hour coverage are all on offer.
Are your officers background checked?
Yes. Every officer is background checked and holds a BSIS guard card before working a post, and we’re fully insured.
How is a security plan priced?
Posted officers are priced by the guard-hour, patrol by the minute on site and camera monitoring per camera. After a free walkthrough, each line is spelled out in a written quote; our security guard services page shows a worked example.
What happens once we pick a security guard company?
We walk the property with you at no charge and send a written quote with the post, hours and rate. Once you approve it, officers start on your date with post orders in hand, and the first shift report reaches your email the next morning.
We already have cameras and an alarm. Where do officers fit in?
Officers cover what the equipment cannot: trying doors in person, meeting drivers at the gate and going to look when a camera or alarm picks something up.
Can our coverage follow a processing plant’s season?
Yes. Book more officers for the peak months and fewer for the quiet ones. Our industrial and processing page shows how a plan can be set up.
