Coverage in Chico
Proximity searches are urgent by nature. People type "near me" after a break-in, after an encampment appears against a fence line, after a tenant is confronted in a parking lot at night. So this page skips the sales language and answers the practical question — where we cover in Chico, how coverage is staffed, and what you get on the first shift.
Home to Chico State, Chico has a dense student-housing and downtown nightlife district along with agricultural and light-industrial sites on its outskirts. Because Chico is well outside normal Sacramento dispatch range, we cover it strictly through pre-scheduled contracted patrol arrangements rather than rapid response.
Our Chico work concentrates on student housing, downtown retail/nightlife, and scheduled agricultural/light-industrial site patrol. About 1.5-2 hours north of Sacramento via Highway 99 — contracted, pre-scheduled coverage only, not same-day dispatch. Every pass is GPS-timestamped and emailed to you the next morning, which matters more than it sounds: it is the difference between believing a patrol happened and being able to prove it to an insurer, a board, or a judge.
What "near me" means for a Chico site
- Coverage across Downtown Chico, Chico State campus perimeter, The Esplanade, East Avenue corridor and the surrounding Butte County corridors
- Posts and patrol routes served in the 95928 ZIP and adjacent Chico ZIPs
- Dispatch answered 24/7 by a person at 1-800-823-5337 — not a callback form
- Marked patrol vehicles, uniformed BSIS guard-card officers, no unmarked "ride-alongs"
- Same-day and overnight starts when a site is already being hit
- GPS-timestamped pass logs emailed the next morning, so you can verify we were there
Four things to have ready when you call
- 1Tell us the exact address and gate code
Nearly every delay on a first Chico shift comes from access, not distance — gates, key fobs, lockboxes, and which entrance the officer should use.
- 2Tell us the hit window
If the problem happens between 1am and 4am, the coverage should be built around that window instead of a generic 12-hour post.
- 3Say whether you need presence or documentation
Deterrence and evidence are different jobs. A Chico property building an eviction or insurance file needs timestamped reports and photos, not just a visible unit.
- 4Ask what happens on a live encounter
Our officers observe, document, and call Butte County law enforcement. We do not promise physical removal we are not licensed to perform.

Questions we get every week
Chico questions
- How fast can a security guard get to my Chico property?
- Chico sits roughly 81 miles from our Sacramento dispatch point, so we staff it with officers based in the surrounding corridor instead of dispatching across the valley for each pass. For urgent coverage we can usually put a uniformed officer on a Chico site the same day, and overnight patrol can often start the night you call. Call 1-800-823-5337 and dispatch will tell you honestly what is available tonight rather than promising a window we cannot hold.
- Do you cover my part of Chico?
- We patrol across Downtown Chico, Chico State campus perimeter, The Esplanade, East Avenue corridor and the surrounding Butte County corridors, including the 95928 ZIP and the ZIPs bordering it. If your address sits just outside the areas listed here, call and ask — we would rather tell you no than staff a post we cannot serve well.
- Is Summit Force actually licensed to work in Chico?
- Yes. Summit Force Security Group is a licensed California Private Patrol Operator, PPO #122730, regulated by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) under the Department of Consumer Affairs. That license covers private patrol work statewide, including Chico. You can verify the number in the BSIS license lookup before you hire us.
- Can I hire a guard in Chico for just one night?
- Yes. Single-night and short-term coverage is common — an event, a vacant unit, a site that was just broken into. We quote a flat written rate for the hours you need in Chico, with no long-term contract required to get started.
- Do you provide marked vehicles for Chico patrol?
- Yes. Random-interval patrol in Chico is run in marked vehicles with uniformed officers, because visible presence is most of the deterrent. Each pass is GPS-timestamped and appears in the report emailed the next morning.
