Security Guard Services in Davis, CA
PPO #122730A university town where student housing turnover, bike-corridor foot traffic, and downtown nightlife create predictable weekend demand. Research park and ag-tech tenants near UC Davis also want quiet vehicle patrol rather than a visible guard shack.
About 20 minutes west of Sacramento via I-80.
Why Davis property owners hire Summit Force
We focus our Davis coverage on student housing complexes, downtown retail corridors, and research/business park sites. Officers are briefed on the specific problem hours for your property type — whether that's the 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. window for equipment theft or weekend evenings for noise and parking enforcement. Every pass is logged, so you always have documentation for insurance, your board, or law enforcement.

How much does a security guard cost in Davis?
Security guard pricing in Davis generally runs $28–$45 per officer hour. Marked mobile vehicle patrol is the lowest cost per property — one unit makes several randomized passes a night across Yolo County — while a dedicated standing post costs more and gives you continuous presence at the gate, dock, or lobby. Every Davis quote is a flat hourly rate in writing: no fuel charges, no holiday multipliers, no dispatch fees.
Looking for a security company near you in Davis?
Summit Force Security Group is a Sacramento-headquartered private patrol operator — Licensed California PPO #122730, licensed through the California Bureau of Security & Investigative Services. When Davis businesses, HOA boards, and property managers search for a security guard company near them, they are usually comparing three things: whether the officers are real BSIS guard-card holders, whether dispatch answers at 2 a.m., and whether they will get documentation the next morning. We answer yes to all three, and our officers wear the Summit Force shoulder patch and gold shield badge so residents and staff can identify them on sight.
Post orders written for your property type — not a generic guard schedule
National firms sell one security program and re-badge it by industry. Every Davis contract we write starts from the specific asset being protected: what gets stolen, which hours it happens, and who needs the documentation the next morning. Pick your property type below for the Davis coverage detail.

Compliance context
Multifamily and student-housing owners should keep lease-based trespass authorization on file so officers can act under Penal Code 602 when a non-resident refuses to leave common areas. City noise and party-house enforcement is handled by Davis PD; private patrol reports and documents but does not cite.
General information only — confirm current requirements with the applicable city, county, or fire authority.
