California PPO #122730
Licensed private patrol operator regulated by BSIS / Department of Consumer Affairs. Verify the license number before you sign with anyone.
PPO #122730
Private patrol built around the problem you actually have
Most security companies sell you hours. We start with the incident — the doorway camp, the alcove, the missing copper, the pool gate nobody locked, the red-tagged sprinkler system — and build the post order backwards from it. Pick the hub that matches your week. Flat $28–$45 per officer hour, quoted in writing.

From rough-in through drywall, an unwatched jobsite is an open invitation for copper, machinery and material theft. We run documented overnight patrols and standing posts that put a name, a time, and a gate log behind every night a site is covered.

Where we run routes
Sacramento is home. Officers already run Auburn Boulevard, Greenback Lane, Sunrise Boulevard, Watt Avenue, Madison Avenue and the I-80 corridor through Citrus Heights, Antelope, Orangevale, Fair Oaks, Carmichael, North Highlands, Rancho Cordova, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Loomis and Auburn. Because those routes already exist, adding your property rarely requires a dedicated officer — which is what keeps the number workable for a single retail building, a small HOA, or a storage yard.

Questions we get every week
Patrol service, licensing and nearby-city questions
Guard card and PPO verification, plus how nightly patrol works outside the city core.
- How do I verify the guard card of an officer on my property?
- Every Summit Force officer carries a current BSIS guard card and will show it on request. You can verify the registration number yourself through the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services licence lookup under the Department of Consumer Affairs — it returns the officer's registration status and expiration date. Officer registration numbers also appear on the shift log we hand back to you, so a manager can spot-check any name after the fact.How to verify a BSIS guard cardOur licensing and credentials
- What is your PPO licence number and how do I check it?
- California Private Patrol Operator licence PPO #122730, held by Summit Force Security Group, Private Security. Look it up in the same BSIS licence search before you sign anything — a company that provides guards for hire in California must hold a PPO, and a bidder who cannot give you a lookup-ready number is a broker rather than an agency.
- Are armed officers separately permitted?
- Yes. Armed posts are staffed only by officers holding a current BSIS exposed-firearm permit in addition to the guard card, and that permit is verifiable in the same lookup. If your site does not warrant armed coverage we will tell you plainly rather than upsell it.
- Which nearby cities do you patrol from Sacramento?
- Marked units run nightly routes across Sacramento, Natomas, Citrus Heights, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, Elk Grove, Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay, Lincoln, Loomis, Auburn, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park and Placerville, plus the smaller towns inside our roughly 50-mile dispatch radius.Cities we coverSecurity guard near me
- How does patrol work if my property is in a nearby city rather than Sacramento?
- The same way it works in the city: randomized pass timing so the schedule cannot be predicted, GPS-scanned checkpoints at the doors, gates and blind corners we agree on in the post order, and a timestamped photo report emailed before morning. Properties in outlying towns are grouped onto one route, which is why several addresses in the same corridor cost less per property than a standing post.
- How fast can a unit reach a nearby city after a call?
- Inside the metro core a marked unit is usually on scene within 15 to 30 minutes of a dispatch call; the outer bands of the radius run 30 to 60 minutes depending on where tonight's route sits when you call. Dispatch is answered live 24 hours a day at 1-800-823-5337 by the person assigning the officer, so you get the real window rather than a promise.Request a quote
- Do you charge extra for travel to nearby cities?
- No. patrol coverage is quoted as a flat hourly rate in the $28–$45 per officer hour band across the whole dispatch radius, with no mileage, fuel or drive-time line items added later. If a route cannot be served honestly at that rate we say so instead of padding the invoice.
