A 24 hour post is not one officer stretched across a day. Real around-the-clock coverage is three shifts that overlap at the hand-off, a supervisor who verifies the relief actually arrived, and a named backup for every seat so a call-out on a Sunday night does not turn into an empty gate. That is how we staff every 24-hour assignment across Sacramento and the Placer County foothills.
Sites that usually need it: occupied construction phases, warehouse and distribution yards running swing and graveyard, hotels, hospitals and clinics, apartment communities under a lender or insurance requirement, and any property that just took a loss and cannot afford a second one. Rates sit in the $28–$45 per officer hour band and drop per hour as weekly hours rise — quoted flat, in writing, before an officer is posted.

How a true 24 hour post is built
Coverage is scheduled as three shifts — typically 0600-1400, 1400-2200, and 2200-0600 — with a 15-minute overlap so the outgoing officer briefs the incoming one on anything open: a propped dock door, a vehicle that circled twice, a contractor still on site. That briefing is written into the shift log you receive each morning.
Every seat has a named primary and a named relief officer, both cleared for your site's post orders. You are not meeting a stranger every week, and a call-out does not become your problem at 2 a.m. Supervisors run unannounced site checks on the graveyard shift, because that is the shift where thin vendors get caught.
What 24 hour coverage actually costs
Pricing is per officer hour in the $28–$45 per officer hour range, set by whether the post is armed or unarmed, the risk profile, and how many hours per week you commit. A full 168-hour week prices lower per hour than a weekend-only post because scheduling and relief planning get simpler.
There are no fuel surcharges, no drive-time padding, and no auto-renewing term. Contracts run on 30-day written notice. If a scope change is needed mid-term, you get a revised written rate before it appears on an invoice.
Straight answers, no runaround
24 Hour Security Guards — questions we get every week
Real questions from business owners, commercial landlords, property managers and HOA boards across Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Roseville and Placer County — answered plainly, including the legal limits.
Can I hire a 24 hour security guard in Sacramento tonight?
Often yes. Officers already run routes through Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Roseville, Rocklin and Folsom, so dispatch can frequently stand up an overnight post the same evening and then build the full three-shift rotation over the following days. Call 1-800-823-5337 — a person answers, not an answering service.
How much does a 24 hour security guard cost per hour?
$28–$45 per officer hour, depending on armed versus unarmed, risk profile, and weekly hours. Full around-the-clock schedules price at the lower end of that band because relief planning is simpler. You get the number in writing before an officer is posted.
Is the same officer on site for 24 hours?
No — and no legitimate licensed company would do that. Coverage is three overlapping shifts with a supervisor-verified hand-off. A single officer stretched across a day is both a fatigue liability and a wage-and-hour problem.
Do you cover weekends and holidays?
Yes. Weekend and holiday coverage is written into the schedule up front, including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, at the same quoted rate unless we tell you otherwise in writing beforehand.
Do you provide 24 hour guards in Roseville and Folsom?
Yes. Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Granite Bay, Lincoln, Loomis, Auburn, Rancho Cordova and Citrus Heights all fall inside our dispatch radius from Sacramento, and each has officers living in or near the community.
Are your 24 hour officers licensed?
Every officer carries a current BSIS guard card and works under our California PPO #122730. Armed officers additionally hold a current exposed-firearm permit. Registration numbers appear on the shift log so you can verify who was on your property.
