A posted officer is the easiest kind of security to understand: one person, on your property, paying attention for the whole shift. Delivery drivers sign in, visitors get a friendly hello, and anyone hoping to slip through an unlocked side door finds someone already standing there.
Before the first shift, we walk the property with you at no charge and turn what we learn into post orders: which entrances stay staffed, how often the officer walks the building and the lot, and who gets called for what. The officer follows those orders, logs every round with the time, and a shift report is waiting in your inbox each morning.
Guard posts suit offices, retail stores, distribution buildings, apartment communities, data center gates and the front desks of treatment programs. Unarmed officers fit most posts; sites holding cash or valuable stock after dark are better served by an armed officer. When a full shift is more than a property needs, patrol visits through the night can carry the overnight hours instead.

Take an overnight post at a Gilroy distribution building. The officer arrives as the evening shift winds down, reads the notes left by the day crew and walks the perimeter before the last workers leave. Through the night they keep the gate, sign in early drivers, walk the docks and the trailer row on a steady rhythm and note anything that changes.
As the morning crew arrives, the officer hands over in person, and the shift report follows by email: every round with its time, every arrival at the gate and anything that needs attention that day.
A posted officer in Gilroy typically runs $40 to $50 an hour, from about $36 for a quiet post with a short route up to $50 for heavy posts. Armed officers cost more per hour, and the armed security page has those figures; the unarmed officer page prices a full-time post.
Your monthly total is just hours times the rate. Say you run a contractor yard on the south end of town and want an officer from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m., Monday through Friday. That’s 55 hours a week, or roughly 238 hours a month. At $44 an hour, you’re looking at about $10,470 a month, and the shift report is waiting in your inbox when you unlock the gate the next morning.
What moves your rate? More duties on the post orders, like visitor sign-in, trailer checks and rounds of a big lot, push it up. So do weekend and holiday hours and coverage you need starting tomorrow. A quiet overnight post with a short route stays near the bottom. We walk the property with you for free and send a written quote with the hours and rate.
