Frequently asked questions
How many security guards do I need for my event?
A common planning figure is one officer per 75–100 guests, adjusted for alcohol service, entry point count, cash handling and venue requirements. Tell us the headcount and layout and we will give you a specific number rather than upselling posts.
How much does it cost to hire security guards for an event?
Event details are quoted at a flat hourly officer rate in the $28–$45 band with a typical four-hour minimum. No holiday, evening or dispatch surcharges — the number in the quote is the number on the invoice.
Can you provide event security on short notice?
Often yes, including same-week and occasionally same-day for Sacramento-area events. Call 1-800-823-5337 and a supervisor will confirm officer availability while you are on the phone.
Will you provide proof of license and insurance to my venue?
Yes. We send a certificate of insurance and our California PPO #122730 license documentation directly to your venue or coordinator, which most Sacramento venues require before load-in.

After a break-in in Sacramento
What happens in the first 15, 30 & 60 minutes
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
1. Make the scene safe
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
2. Build the response plan
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
3. Start visible protection
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
Why property managers keep coverage with Summit Force

Insured, bonded, guard-card verified
Every officer carries a current BSIS guard card, and we provide certificates of insurance and post orders in writing before the first shift.
Live 24/7 dispatch

What accountable coverage looks like in the Sacramento region
We staff HOA, jobsite, warehouse, retail and apartment posts across the Sacramento region. The examples below describe how those posts are actually run — patrol cadence, what gets documented and what the client receives — so you can compare us on deliverables instead of adjectives. Licensed PPO #122730, BSIS-regulated.

Board gets a timestamped GPS patrol log and photo-documented violation notices for every pass.
Construction & jobsites
Example post · Overnight gate control plus interior sweeps on active framing, with copper, conduit and tool crib checks each round.
Material loss reports drop and the GC has written evidence packets when a claim or police report is needed.

Every trailer, visitor and after-hours entry is logged and reconcilable against the shipping manifest.
Retail & shopping centers

Staff walk-outs are escorted and merchant-privilege detentions are handled to BSIS documentation standards.

Property managers receive nightly incident reports that support lease enforcement and insurance files.
