Frequently Asked Questions

The terms "security guard" and "security officer" are often used interchangeably in private security. A job title does not automatically indicate a separate license, greater legal authority, or advanced tactical training. In California, personnel must hold the credentials required for their assignments. Duties such as patrols, observation, access control, incident reporting, customer assistance, and emergency communication depend on the site and service agreement.

For assignments using SecureTrack, available tools may include electronic checkpoint records, location-based patrol data, and activity reporting. Client access, available features, and reporting frequency depend on the site configuration and the agreed service package. Ask our team which reporting options are available for your property.

No. Many properties use unarmed security personnel for access control, patrols, and visible deterrence. Armed assignments require appropriately registered guards with applicable, current California BSIS Firearms Permits (also called Firearms Qualification Cards) and assignment-specific qualifications. Our team can discuss armed and unarmed options based on your property, risk profile, and service requirements.

We can discuss full-time, part-time, temporary, seasonal, and around-the-clock security staffing, depending on your site and staffing availability. Coverage hours, start dates, shift arrangements, and any minimum service periods will be confirmed in your proposal or service agreement.
