Video transcript

What the hero video shows — full transcript

The hero clip is a five-second silent loop of the downtown Sacramento skyline at night with the Summit Force Security Group seal projected over the city. It has no spoken dialogue, so the transcript below describes each on-screen beat and the licence and coverage text that appears in the frame. Current coverage: unarmed uniformed officers and marked patrol under California PPO #122730, with live 24/7 dispatch. Armed posts are scoped only when a risk assessment calls for them. Standard coverage is a 50-mile radius from the Sacramento headquarters; extended areas are by request. The transcript records the footage's on-screen wording, not an offer of armed coverage by default.

Security guard services near me — Sacramento patrol & posts

Need a security guard near your Sacramento property? Start with the address, the hours that need coverage and the duties an officer must perform. Dispatch confirms the scope from our headquarters at 3400 Bradshaw Rd Ste B-4, Sacramento, CA 95827. Our 50-mile dispatch radius is measured from HQ; locations outside it are considered by request.

We cover apartment and HOA communities, warehouses and industrial parks, construction sites, retail centers, hotels and restaurants, and one-off events — from downtown Sacramento out to Roseville, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova and Folsom.

Nightly property checks

Marked patrol visits check agreed gates, doors and common areas. There are gaps between rounds, not continuous officer presence.

Compare mobile patrol

A continuously staffed post

Choose standing coverage when an entry point or property needs an officer throughout the contracted hours, rather than occasional visits.

Compare standing guards

An HOA or apartment community

Scope gate and amenity checks, parking observations and incident reports against the community's approved rules, with visits and staffed hours separated.

Compare HOA courtesy patrol

HOA security in Sacramento — for boards & community managers

Start with your community's actual duties: which gates and amenities need checks, when common areas close, and how parking observations and incidents should be reported. Courtesy patrol provides scheduled visits with gaps between rounds; a gate that needs continuous staffing calls for a standing post, not a patrol package.

Request written post orders based on the association's approved rules, a sample report, and a scope separating patrol visits from staffed officer-hours. Give dispatch the property address, coverage hours and board or manager contact so the quote matches your community.

Flat $28–$45 per officer hour, no overtime fees, no holiday fees, no fuel, drive-time, mileage, or dispatch surcharges. Rates quoted in writing. Monthly patrol packages are quoted separately from standing officer-hours. Call 1-800-823-5337 to discuss HOA coverage.

How to compare Sacramento security guard companies

Compare the actual coverage and written terms—not a “best company” claim. A useful proposal answers these questions before you choose a provider.

  1. 1. Who is licensed? Verify the contracting company's Private Patrol Operator license separately from the assigned officer's guard registration. Summit Force Security Group, Private Security — California PPO #122730 (BSIS/DCA). An individual guard card is not the company's PPO license.
  2. 2. What presence are you buying? Ask for patrol visits and continuously staffed officer-hours as separate items. Name the gates, buildings and common areas to check, the coverage window and what happens between visits.
  3. 3. What will the report show? Request a sample report and written post orders. Specify checkpoint locations, observed conditions, photos, incident details and who receives an escalation; a scheduled visit is not a guarantee that an incident cannot occur.
  4. 4. What does the written quote include? Flat $28–$45 per officer hour, no overtime fees, no holiday fees, no fuel, drive-time, mileage, or dispatch surcharges. Rates quoted in writing. Monthly patrol packages are a different scope from standing officer-hours; compare matching duties and hours rather than headline prices alone.

Patrol and guard coverage

What we get dispatched for across the Sacramento region

Summit Force Security Group is a licensed California private patrol operator (PPO #122730) based in Sacramento, CA. Below is the work we do most, how each post is actually run, and the page with rates and response detail for it.

Mobile security patrol in Sacramento

A marked patrol unit runs randomized passes through the night instead of parking in one spot, so nobody can time your coverage window. Every stop is GPS-scanned and photographed, and the patrol report is in your inbox before morning. This is the lowest cost-per-property option we offer because one unit covers several addresses on the same loop.

Vehicle patrol services in Rancho Cordova

Rancho Cordova's business parks along Folsom Boulevard and the Mather corridor sit empty after 6pm, which is exactly when copper, catalytic converters and fleet fuel walk off. Our vehicle patrol runs the Sacramento–Rancho Cordova pipeline nightly, so adding a property there rarely changes the rate.

24 hour security guard coverage

A round-the-clock post means three shifts, a named supervisor, and written post orders covering handoff, key control and escalation. Dispatch is answered by a person at every hour — including 3am, weekends and holidays — so you are never routed to an answering service during an incident.

HOA and courtesy patrol for communities

For HOA boards and apartment managers we handle parking abatement, pool and clubhouse closing, noise and CC&R enforcement, and after-hours trespass. Officers work the same community consistently so residents know them by name, and boards get a monthly packet they can read straight into the minutes.

Apartment security patrol

Multifamily properties need presence at the laundry room, the mail kiosk, the carports and the back gate — not a guard sitting in the leasing office. We patrol on foot inside the community, log every door and gate found unsecured, and photograph dumping and encampment activity for your abatement file.

Warehouse and distribution security guards

Inventory leaves at the dock, not the lobby. Officers run driver check-in, verify trailer seals and BOLs, control employee access, and sweep the yard fence line on a documented schedule. Checkpoint and gate screening can be staffed for short-term audits or peak season.

Construction site and jobsite security

The exposure window is the gap between the last trade leaving and the first crew arriving. We cover gates, material yards and equipment rows overnight and through weekends, deter trespass before it becomes a scrap run, and escalate to law enforcement with photos and plate numbers already documented.

Hire security guards for an event

Weddings, festivals, grand openings, church and community events, corporate functions and private parties. Officers staff entry screening, guest-list and ID checks, bag inspection, parking-lot presence, crowd flow and orderly close-down. One-night bookings are welcome and there is no long-term contract.

Unarmed security guards and static posts

Our core service is uniformed unarmed officers — the coverage that resolves most theft, trespass, vandalism and access problems while keeping your liability exposure low. Static posts work lobbies, gates, dispensary entries and retail doors, with a visible presence that changes behavior before anything escalates.

Officer in the news

Our officer Brandon Muse has been quoted by TIME and covered by KCRA 3

Both stories are about Brandon Muse and his own work on post: TIME quoted him on the realities of America's private security industry, and KCRA 3 covered the Citrus Heights arson case his report helped police close. Brandon now works posts as a Summit Force officer.

To be clear: neither outlet has written about or endorsed Summit Force Security Group. The coverage belongs to Brandon Muse personally, from work performed before he joined us — we share it because it shows the standard of officer we put on your property.

Citrus Heights Arson: Suspects Arrested

KCRA 3, June 13, 2016 — the on-post security officer's report and suspect descriptions led police straight to both arrests. That's what a real patrol write-up is worth.

The story behind the headline

We helped Citrus Heights PD catch the arson crew

A string of fires was being set all over Citrus Heights — dumpsters, fences, and structures — causing serious property damage and putting families at risk. Our officer Brandon Muse was on duty at a retail center post when he spotted two suspects leaving the area right after a fire started.

Instead of shrugging it off, he stayed on it: locked in accurate suspect and clothing descriptions, direction of travel, and timeline, then called it straight in to Citrus Heights Police and stayed available as a witness. That report is what officers used to identify and arrest the two 19-year-olds accused of setting the fires — the case KCRA 3 covered.

That's the difference between a warm body in a chair and a trained, BSIS-registered Summit Force officer who actually watches, documents, and reports.

Track record, not star farming

No score, no stars — just the incidents, written the night they happened

Most security companies compete on a star average. Averages get farmed, traded, and written by friends, family and staff. We don't publish a rating of any kind. We publish the actual field work and let you read it.

  • Deterrence & prevention

    Model-home fire risk caught before it ignited in Citrus Heights (2007); a construction theft ring pushed off an active Natomas site after repeat overnight losses.

  • De-escalation under pressure

    An armed domestic on a Roseville post handled with roughly 25 minutes of doorway conversation instead of an armed standoff. No shots fired, no injuries.

  • Working with law enforcement

    Suspect and clothing descriptions from a Citrus Heights retail post that police used to identify and arrest two 19-year-old arson suspects — the case KCRA 3 covered in June 2016.

  • Reporting & accountability

    Randomized patrol passes logged with GPS scan points and photos, written up the same shift and delivered to the client rather than summarized weeks later.

  • Compassion on post

    Stayed with an elderly Natomas resident whose home had been ransacked until her family arrived, then walked the scene with responding officers.

  • Deliberately small book

    We take on fewer accounts than we could staff so every post is covered by a senior officer we can personally vouch for — no overflow, no last-minute fill-ins.

How to read this section

These incidents are first-hand accounts from our officers' field careers, including posts worked under prior employers and contracts. There is no public performance registry or rating system that records that work, so we make no scores, averages, or statistical claims about it — only the accounts themselves, with client-identifying detail withheld.

Summit Force displays no client testimonials and no star-rating schema anywhere on this site until real, permissioned client quotes exist. Our proof is the field record and the career profile behind it.

Security services

Mobile Vehicle Patrol in Sacramento

High-visibility marked patrol units with randomized rounds, GPS-verified checkpoints, and photo reports after every pass.

Our mobile security patrol units run randomized routes so criminals can never predict your coverage window. Every stop is scanned, timestamped, and photographed, then delivered to you as a digital patrol report before sunrise.

HOA & Community Security in Sacramento

Dedicated HOA security for gated communities, apartment blocks, and neighborhood associations — parking, noise, and after-hours enforcement.

We work directly with HOA boards and property managers on CC&R enforcement, parking abatement, pool and clubhouse closing, and courteous resident interaction. Officers become familiar faces your homeowners actually trust.

Warehouse & Industrial Security in Sacramento

Warehouse security guards controlling docks, gates, driver check-in, and after-hours perimeter sweeps.

Distribution centers lose inventory at the dock, not the front door. Our warehouse security guards manage driver check-in, trailer seals, employee access, and interior/exterior sweeps on documented schedules.

Construction Site Security in Sacramento

Overnight and weekend coverage protecting copper, tooling, equipment, and lumber on active build sites.

Construction security officers cover the vulnerable window between the last trade leaving and the first crew arriving — gate control, material yard checks, trespass deterrence, and immediate escalation to law enforcement.

Event Security Staffing in Sacramento

Hire security guards for events — weddings, festivals, corporate functions, and private parties with crowd and access control.

From a 60-guest private party to a multi-day festival, we staff access points, wristband and ID checks, bag inspection, VIP escort, and orderly close-down. Short-notice event bookings are welcome.

Retail & Shopping Center Security in Sacramento

Uniformed presence that reduces shrink, loitering, and vehicle break-ins across retail centers and parking lots.

Officers patrol storefronts, common areas, and lots on foot and by vehicle, deter loitering and encampments, assist customers to their cars, and provide daily incident logs to center management.

Standing & Foot Guard Services in Sacramento

Static unarmed officers posted at lobbies, gates, checkpoints, and reception with full activity logging.

A dedicated post officer handles visitor screening, badge checks, access logs, and emergency response for offices, medical buildings, schools, and manufacturing plants — 8, 12, or 24-hour coverage.

Fire Watch & Alarm Response in Sacramento

Compliance fire watch during system outages, plus rapid physical alarm response and law enforcement coordination.

When sprinklers or alarms are offline, we deploy trained fire watch personnel with documented rounds to keep you compliant with the fire marshal. We also respond to triggered alarms so your staff never has to drive out at 3 a.m.

All services & our published hourly rates

Flat $28–$45 per officer hour, no overtime fees, no holiday fees, no fuel, drive-time, mileage, or dispatch surcharges. Rates quoted in writing. Mobile patrol passes and monthly packages are quoted separately from standing officer-hours.

First-hand accounts from Summit Force Brandon Muse

Assisted law enforcementCitrus Heights · June 2016

Smelled smoke on patrol — descriptions led to two arson arrests

Working a patrol post at a retail center on a hot summer night, Brandon Muse smelled smoke and found the park behind the property on fire, close to both the store and a neighborhood. 911 dispatch was overwhelmed — fires were being reported all over town — and the call was triaged low priority. About fifteen minutes later an officer arrived and asked him to sweep the surrounding area. Driving a well-marked patrol unit, he spotted two teenagers who broke into a run the moment they saw the vehicle.

Outcome

He gave police the direction of travel and suspect descriptions. Two 19-year-olds were arrested for setting fires around Citrus Heights. The story was reported by KCRA 3 and later cited in TIME magazine's investigation of the private security industry.

Emergency responseRoseville · 2019

25 minutes of de-escalation instead of an armed standoff

Brandon Muse took a service call for a disturbance at an apartment community. The resident — heavily intoxicated, belligerent, and a motorcycle club member — told Muse he had pistol-whipped his spouse and that he would not survive the night. His spouse was crying and still inside. Muse deliberately framed the contact as a noise complaint, kept the man talking at the doorway, and counseled him for roughly 25 minutes to keep him away from his firearm until he wore himself out and closed the door.

Outcome

Muse called it in immediately. Law enforcement responded with a tactical team, removed every firearm from the residence, and got the spouse to safety. No shots were fired and nobody was injured.

Graffiti call turns out to be an elderly resident's home ransacked

A vandalism call at an HOA community brought officers to a garage tagged with racial slurs and every door in the home standing wide open. Expecting an intruder, they called for backup and cleared the residence — and found an elderly woman asleep in her bedroom while her home had been ransacked by a disgruntled caretaker. Family portraits of her grandchildren had been sprayed over.

Outcome

Officers helped her reach her family and law enforcement. With no active intruder on scene, police were tied up and never responded that night — so the officers stayed with her, consoled her, and kept watch until family arrived. The family thanked the team for being the only ones who showed up.

DeterredSacramento (Natomas) · Home development contract

Randomized hybrid patrol shut down a construction theft ring

A crew was hitting an active home development, entering through a park trail. Day-shift construction workers recorded them and passed on descriptions and vehicle details, which were shared with every officer on the account. By tracking the pattern, the team worked out the likely strike window and posted an officer there in advance, blocking the trail approach on the next attempt.

Outcome

The crew was thwarted repeatedly, got angry, and stopped coming — because randomized patrol timing meant they could never predict when officers would be on site. This is the case for hybrid patrol: deterrence without paying for a full-time post.

After-midnight alarm at a school — a party den cleared without force

An alarm call at a high school after midnight sounded routine until officers heard music and a commotion from a portable classroom. With backup on scene they cleared the trailer and found a teenage hangout: alcohol, marijuana, bags, and dirt bikes. The presence of uniformed officers alone ended it — several of them were in tears before anyone raised a voice.

Outcome

Because Summit Force held contracts for both the school and the HOA across the street, one of the teens was identified as a resident of that community. Reports went to both the school district and the HOA, and the group was released with a warning — accountability on both sides of the street.

Jewelry case cleared — suspect taken into custody next door

Early in his career, Muse was posted at a discount retail store with a history of violent incidents. Two men came in overly friendly, lingered at the locked jewelry case pretending to browse, cleared it of high-value merchandise, and greeted him again on the way out. He asked for the property back and reached for the bag; one suspect ran on foot into a neighboring store.

Outcome

Officers on a lunch break next door responded in force. The suspect discarded stolen goods through the aisles and was taken into custody in the loading dock area after resisting. Merchandise was recovered.

Model-home post: the odd detail nobody else would have followed up

Guarding model homes at a development under construction, Muse noticed a sign holder walk into an unfinished house on his lunch break — a small thing that didn't fit. He followed up and found the man attempting to smoke in a wood-frame structure surrounded by combustible material.

Outcome

The man dropped his pipe and left. Nothing burned. It was the moment the job clicked: presence and curiosity prevent incidents that never make a report.

Graveyard campus patrol holds a hallway over a rattlesnake

On a graveyard patrol of a college campus detail, Muse found a live rattlesnake moving through a classroom hallway. The local snake handler was unavailable, so instead of leaving an occupied building unsafe for the morning, he held the hallway and kept eyes on the snake for the rest of his shift.

Outcome

At shift change, relief arrived and the snake was safely captured and released away from campus. No students or staff were exposed.

Coaching is one thing — the post is only as good as the person standing it. His officers are trained to be seen, be helpful and be accountable.

Off the clock, Daniel leads the company's community work: feeding the homeless and giving out small scholarships that put underprivileged youth through the 40-hour guard card course and training — turning a job that changed his life into a door for someone else.

Brandon Muse

Co-Owner & Operations Manager, Summit Force Security Group · PPO #122730 · Sacramento, CA

Brandon Muse serves as Co-Owner & Operations Manager for Summit Force Security Group, running day-to-day operations while still working active posts in the field. He is the officer cited by KCRA 3 for the on-duty observations that helped Citrus Heights police arrest two arson suspects, and quoted in TIME magazine on private-security standards. That reporting covers his work before Summit Force and is not an endorsement of this company.

His first-hand field experience — from de-escalating a stand-off outside a Roseville apartment to handling a rattlesnake on a Sierra College patrol — shapes the playbook every Summit Force officer is trained to before they stand a post.

Brandon keeps scheduling tight, supervisory checks honest, and clients reachable by phone. The standard Daniel sets on paper is the standard Brandon enforces on the ground.

“A post is only as strong as the officer standing it — so we stand it right.”

Feeding the homeless

Our team runs and supports meal drives across the Sacramento region — the same streets we patrol.

Questions we get every week

Security guard company near me — and what 24 hour coverage really means

The two questions we get most from Sacramento-area property owners, answered with distances, hours and shift structure instead of slogans.

Is there a security guard company near me in the Sacramento area?
Yes. Summit Force Security Group dispatches from 3400 Bradshaw Rd Ste B-4, Sacramento, CA 95827 and covers roughly a 50-mile radius — Sacramento County, Placer County, Yolo, El Dorado, Solano and the south corridor — so most addresses in the metro sit 10 to 25 road miles from a unit that is already working tonight. Officers live in the areas they patrol, and the hourly rate is the same across the whole radius with no drive-time, mileage or fuel surcharge.Security guards near meSacramento coverageAll coverage areas
How do I choose the right security guard company near me?
Ask three things before you sign: the company's California Private Patrol Operator number (ours is PPO #122730, verifiable on the BSIS public lookup), who answers the phone at 3 a.m., and what written proof you get each morning. We answer dispatch live with a supervisor, not an answering service, and every shift closes with GPS-verified checkpoint scans, timestamped photos and a daily activity report in your inbox before business hours.Why Summit ForceHow to hire a security guard
Do you offer 24 hour security guard service?
Yes. A true 24 hour security guard post runs three staffed shifts a day, seven days a week, with a named supervisor, written post orders covering shift handoff and key control, and relief coverage already scheduled so a call-out never leaves the post empty. Dispatch is live every hour of that clock, including overnight, weekends and holidays.24 hour security guard serviceStanding guard posts
How much does a 24 hour security guard cost?
Flat $28–$45 per officer hour, no overtime fees, no holiday fees, no fuel, drive-time, mileage, or dispatch surcharges. Rates quoted in writing. A continuously staffed single-officer post requires 168 officer-hours a week. Properties needing only after-dark checks can compare separately quoted mobile patrol passes with continuous standing coverage.Cost calculatorMobile patrol service
How fast can a guard reach my property once I call?
Emergency call-out: about 1 hour inside the core Sacramento route grid; standing posts start in 24–48 hours. Dispatch confirms availability for your exact address.Dispatch times by cityGet a quote
Can I get overnight coverage without a long-term contract?
Yes. One-night events, weekend construction watch, vacancy coverage during tenant turnover, holiday retail staffing and emergency fill-in when another company no-shows are all bookable without a long-term commitment. If short-term coverage turns into an ongoing need, the same officers stay assigned to your property.Request coverageEvent security

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.

Yes.

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
