Security guard services that fits the building.

In San Francisco, most buildings open straight onto the sidewalk. The front door sees tenants, couriers, delivery drivers, visitors and the occasional person trying to slip in behind someone with a fob. A good officer sorts all of that out without making the lobby feel like a checkpoint.

Once we’ve walked the building with you (no charge), we write the post orders together. They cover where the officer sits, how visitors and couriers are handled, which floors, stairwells and garage levels get walked and when, and who hears about problems. Rounds are logged with the time, and a shift report hits your inbox when each shift wraps.

We staff lobbies in Financial District towers, SoMa and Mission Bay offices, residential buildings and street-level retail. When a building doesn’t need someone all night, patrol visits can pick up the overnight hours.

A few useful answers

Common questions.

How do your officers handle tailgating at the front door?

They watch the door, ask people who aren’t recognized to check in and log anything that looks off. Over a few weeks, they get to know who actually belongs.

Can officers manage courier and package drop-offs?

Yes. Couriers and deliveries can be checked in and logged at the desk.

Do you lock us into a long contract?

No. Month-to-month terms, no minimum.

Will it be the same officer most days?

We work to keep a regular crew on each post, which tenants tend to appreciate.

What about armed officers?

Available where the situation calls for it. More on our armed officers page.
