Modern office floor in Gilroy

What we cover.

Office security has a day job and a night job. By day, tenants want a polished professional in the lobby who greets them by name, signs in guests and keeps track of couriers. By night, they want every door tried, the side entrances checked and the lot quiet before the alarm is set.

A single officer on a split shift can handle both. Another option is a daytime lobby officer who hands off to overnight patrol visits. Either way, parking areas are part of each round, and your property manager reads the shift report before the first tenant arrives.

Buildings with cameras can add live monitoring of the lobby and lot for nights and weekends.

Services for this property type

The front desk, done well

A good lobby officer becomes part of the building. They learn the tenants’ faces, know which courier comes at ten and which visitors need walking to a suite. Visitors are signed in, deliveries are logged and anyone who does not belong gets a polite question at the door.

After the last tenant leaves

Evenings bring a different job. The officer walks each floor, tries doors, checks restrooms and stairwells and confirms the lot is clear. The building is set the way your post orders describe, and any problem goes into the shift report with photos.

At a business park, patrol visits can take over the overnight hours once the lobby closes.

Buildings with several tenants

In a multi-tenant building, the officer becomes a shared resource. Tenants can let the desk know about expected visitors and after-hours work, and the property manager gets one report covering the whole building, plus a certificate of insurance to file with the building’s vendor records.

Weekends and holidays

Office buildings are emptiest over weekends and long holidays, which is when propped doors and unlocked suites go unnoticed. Patrol visits at changing times, or a weekend officer for larger buildings, check every entrance and the parking lot. Tenants working on a Saturday also appreciate knowing someone is around.

Surface lots and business parks

Gilroy offices tend to sit in low-rise buildings and business parks with wide surface lots rather than garages. Late in the day those lots empty fast, and the far rows are where workers feel most alone. Officers cover the lots on every round, check building corners and side doors and note lights that are out. Tenants leaving late can ask the desk for company on the walk to their car, and the few buildings with a garage get each level walked too.

Office security costs in Gilroy

A lobby officer at a Gilroy office usually runs $40 to $50 an hour. Light duties at a small single-tenant building keep the rate low, several entrances and heavy visitor traffic push it up, and a typical office sits in the middle because the work is predictable: sign-in at the front desk by day, patrol after hours. Business parks with big lots and several buildings add rounds to the evening routine, which nudges the rate up.

Take a business park out by the highway with a lobby officer from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, 45 hours a week. At $46 an hour, that’s $2,070 a week. When the last tenant leaves, three randomized patrol stops a night try the doors, check the side entrances and walk the lot, and the morning report tells you what the officer found. A downtown office that adds a second officer for a busy shared lobby moves toward the top of the range. Patrol alone can handle the weekends.

A few useful answers

Common questions

Can one officer handle both the desk and the parking lot?

Often, yes. They divide the shift between greeting people in the lobby and walking the lot.

Will your officer log couriers and deliveries?

Yes. Each delivery is noted at the front desk with the time.

Can hours change around tenant events?

Yes. Hours adjust month to month, and one-off evenings are easy to add.

Can our officer escort tenants to their cars?

Yes. After dark, the officer can walk tenants to the parking area on request.

Can the lobby officer handle visitor badges?

Yes. Officers can issue and collect visitor badges at the desk as part of sign-in.

Do officers check restrooms and stairwells?

Yes. Restrooms, stairwells and other quiet corners are part of the evening rounds.
