Pricing, licensing, response times, and coverage — the same answers we give on the phone.

- What makes Summit Force a different security guard company in Sacramento?
- We are a locally owned Sacramento security guard company — not a national franchise desk. Founder Daniel Mays hires and briefs the officers himself, supervisors answer dispatch live 24/7, and every property gets written post orders plus a morning photo report. We hold California Private Patrol Operator license PPO #122730 through BSIS/DCA.Why Summit ForceAbout our teamHow to hire a security guard
- Do you provide event security in Sacramento?
- Yes — event security in Sacramento is one of our most requested services: private parties, weddings, church and community events, festivals, grand openings, concerts, and corporate functions. Officers handle entry screening, guest-list and ID checks, parking-lot presence, crowd flow, and quiet de-escalation, and we take one-night bookings with no long-term contract.Event security servicesSacramento coverageRequest event coverage
- How much does a security guard cost in Sacramento?
- Most Sacramento-area contracts land between $28–$45 per officer hour, depending on whether the post is unarmed standing guard, marked mobile patrol, or short-notice event coverage. Mobile patrol with multiple randomized passes per night is usually the lowest cost per property because one marked unit covers several sites. We quote flat hourly rates in writing with no fuel, holiday, or dispatch surcharges.
- Are Summit Force officers licensed in California?
- Yes. Summit Force Security Group operates under California Private Patrol Operator license PPO #122730, issued by the Bureau of Security & Investigative Services (BSIS) within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Every officer holds a current BSIS guard card, is background checked through the DOJ and FBI, and can be verified by name on the state's public license lookup.
- How fast can a security guard get to my property?
- Dispatch is answered live 24 hours a day by a supervisor, not an answering service. For sites inside the Sacramento metro we can commonly place an officer the same day, and mobile patrol coverage can start the night you sign. Foothill and East Bay cities are dispatched from Sacramento with a documented arrival window in your post orders.
- Do you provide armed or unarmed security guards?
- Our core service is uniformed unarmed security officers and marked mobile patrol — the coverage that resolves the vast majority of theft, trespass, vandalism, and after-hours access problems while keeping your liability exposure low. When a risk assessment calls for an armed post, we will tell you honestly and scope it with properly permitted personnel rather than overselling you.
- What areas around Sacramento do you cover?
- We are headquartered in Sacramento and cover roughly a 50-mile radius: Sacramento County, Placer County (Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Loomis, Granite Bay, Auburn), Elk Grove and the south corridor, Solano County, and the East Bay. Full list on our service areas page — 52 cities in total.
- Can you cover a single event or a short-term job?
- Yes. We take one-night events, weekend construction coverage, holiday retail staffing, vacancy watch during tenant turnover, and emergency fill-in when another company no-shows. There is no long-term contract requirement to get officers on site.
- What reporting do I get?
- Every pass and every shift is documented: GPS-verified checkpoint scans, timestamped photos, and a written daily activity report emailed before morning. Incidents get a separate report suitable for insurance carriers, HOA boards, and law enforcement follow-up.
- Do you offer 24 hour security guard coverage?
- Yes — a 24 hour post is staffed across three shifts with a named supervisor, written post orders covering handoff and key control, and live dispatch at every hour including overnight, weekends and holidays. Properties that do not need continuous presence usually run marked mobile patrol with several randomized passes per night instead, at a much lower monthly cost.Standing guard postsMobile patrol service
- Do you provide vehicle patrol services in Rancho Cordova?
- Yes. Marked vehicle patrol runs the Sacramento–Rancho Cordova corridor nightly, covering business parks along Folsom Boulevard, the Mather area, warehouse and fleet yards, and multifamily communities. Because the route already exists, adding a Rancho Cordova property rarely changes the hourly rate.Rancho Cordova coverageMobile patrol service
- What is a private patrol operator, and are you one?
- A private patrol operator (PPO) is the California license that allows a company to contract out security officers and patrol services. Summit Force Security Group holds California PPO license PPO #122730 through BSIS within the Department of Consumer Affairs, and every officer we field carries a current BSIS guard card — both verifiable on the state's public lookup.
- Do you run HOA courtesy patrol for communities and apartments?
- Yes. Courtesy patrol covers parking abatement and tow authorization, pool and clubhouse closing, noise and CC&R enforcement, unsecured gate and door checks, and encampment or dumping documentation for abatement files. Officers stay assigned to the same community so residents recognize them, and boards get a packet that reads straight into the minutes.HOA & community security
