California PPO #122730
Licensed private patrol operator regulated by BSIS / Department of Consumer Affairs. Verify the license number before you sign with anyone.
Most contractors comparing construction site security companies are trying to answer three questions: will an officer actually be there, will the report hold up for an insurance claim, and what will it cost per week. Summit Force covers Sacramento-area job sites — ground-up tracts, tenant improvements, solar and civil work — with gate posts, overnight watchmen and GPS-verified patrol, and we put arrival times and photos in writing every morning.
Licensed California PPO #122730 · 24/7 dispatch · GPS-verified reports
Ask three things: how presence is verified (GPS-scanned checkpoints beat a signed clipboard), whether escalation happens the same night with photos, and whether the rate is flat or padded with drive-time, fuel and holiday surcharges. Ask for a sample report before you sign anything.
Overnight posts run in the $28–$45 per officer hour band; patrol is quoted per pass, which is why multi-lot and phased projects usually start with patrol and add a post only on high-exposure nights.
A watchman is right when there is a trailer, laydown yard, or fueled equipment worth continuous presence. Patrol is right for lower-value phases and multiple nearby sites. Many projects run patrol most nights and a post during delivery and pour weeks.
Yes — Sacramento-area job sites are frequently staffed within 24 to 48 hours, and emergency coverage after a theft can often start the same night. Call 1-800-823-5337.
Tell us your coverage window and we'll return a flat hourly or per-pass rate, usually within one business day.

Pick your city and the scenario you're dealing with. A supervisor reviews the post, confirms the hours that actually matter, and sends flat hourly pricing in writing — usually the same day.
Report a theft
Tired of tweakers scrapping your copper and walking off with tools? Send us the details and photos — cut wire, pried gang boxes, a hole in the fence — and a supervisor reviews it, builds a written incident summary you can hand your insurer or the sheriff, and recommends the patrol pattern that stops the repeat hit.
After a break-in in Sacramento
This is the typical response workflow after you reach live dispatch — not a promise of police or officer arrival at a fixed time. We never replace 911, fire, or medical responders.
First 15 minutes
Call 911 for a crime in progress or anyone in danger. Do not enter a damaged building or touch evidence. Once you reach our live dispatch team, we confirm the address, what happened, whether anyone is onsite, and the safest next step.
By 30 minutes
A supervisor reviews the breach, police report status, access points, and the vulnerable hours. We confirm the coverage window, coordinate board-up or property management contacts, and document the incident details for your records.
By 60 minutes
When coverage is available and authorized, an officer begins the agreed response: holding the breach, checking the perimeter, deterring secondary theft, and creating the first patrol report. Arrival times vary with location, traffic, staffing, and police direction.
Trust signals
We publish what can be checked: license status, insurance, dispatch response and reported outcomes. Ask any competitor for the same paperwork before comparing rates.

Industry examples above are illustrative deployment scenarios, not client testimonials. Only reviews clients authorised by name are published — with the rating markup that goes with them.
We publish reviews only with written permission, so this page shows none yet. Ask dispatch and we will connect you with an HOA board member, property manager or site superintendent on a comparable contract — plus a sample patrol log and incident report from that post.
