Questions we get every week
Security service questions
- What security services does Summit Force actually provide?
- Uniformed unarmed standing guards, marked mobile vehicle patrol, HOA and apartment community security, warehouse and distribution center coverage, construction site protection, retail and shopping center loss prevention, event security staffing, and fire watch / alarm response. All of it is staffed under California Private Patrol Operator license PPO #122730.
- Which service is right for my property?
- If the problem happens at unpredictable hours across a large footprint — trespass, dumping, vehicle break-ins, encampments — marked mobile patrol with randomized passes usually solves it for the lowest cost. If you need continuous access control, lobby presence, or a visible deterrent at a fixed point, a standing post is the right call. A supervisor walks the site before quoting and tells you which one the property actually needs.
- How much do security guard services cost?
- Sacramento-area contracts generally run $28–$45 per officer hour, quoted as a flat hourly rate in writing with no fuel, holiday, or dispatch surcharges. Mobile patrol is billed per pass or per patrol hour, so a small property can get real coverage for far less than a dedicated post.
- Do you provide armed guards?
- Our core service is unarmed uniformed officers and marked patrol, which resolves the large majority of theft, trespass, vandalism, and after-hours access problems while keeping liability exposure low. When a risk assessment genuinely calls for an armed post, we scope it with properly permitted personnel instead of overselling it.
- Can I start with a short-term or trial contract?
- Yes. One-night events, weekend construction coverage, vacancy watch during turnover, holiday retail staffing, and emergency fill-in when another company no-shows are all normal for us. There is no long-term commitment required to get officers on site.

We staff HOA, jobsite, warehouse, retail and apartment posts across the Sacramento region.
