Why it matters

Campuses, warehouses and everything in between.

South San Francisco doesn’t really shut down. Labs run late, warehouses ship overnight and the airport hotels are full at 2 a.m. Your security has to keep up with that schedule.

We put together the right mix for your site: background-checked officers at the lobby, gate or dock, marked patrol cars on random overnight visits and live eyes on your cameras. Every round is logged and reported back to you.

Whether it’s a biotech campus, a logistics yard near SFO or a storefront downtown, we build coverage around how your site runs.

How your plan gets built

Every plan starts with the hours that worry you, not a service menu. On the walkthrough we note when the building empties, where trucks and contractors enter, which doors get propped and where your cameras already look. That map decides the mix.

For example, a lab site might pair an officer at the lobby through the workday with marked patrol cars checking the dock and lot overnight and monitors on the yard cameras between visits. Each piece covers a gap the others leave open, and the written quote spells out which piece owns which hours.

What lands in your inbox

Reporting is where the difference shows first. Each shift closes with a report by email: rounds walked, doors found open, vehicles logged at the gate, anything out of place. When something does happen, an incident report follows with photos attached.

Forward those reports to owners, tenants and contractors, so nobody has to rebuild the night from memory. The timed log behind every report shows when each check happened, which settles most questions before they turn into arguments.

Posts, patrol and armed cover under one plan

Few properties need just one kind of coverage, so we supply all of it in a single plan. Daytime lobbies and visitor desks usually run on unarmed security officers. Equipment yards, high-value stock and sites that keep getting hit can add an armed security guard for the hours that carry the risk.

Between posts, marked patrol cars check locks and doors at random hours. One contact, one set of shift reports and month-to-month terms keep every property and every shift in the same place.

A few useful answers

Questions, answered.

Do you cover life-science campuses?

In 2026 a typical unarmed post in South San Francisco runs $36 to $50 per guard-hour, and our guard services page walks through the math. Your own rate comes in a written quote after a free walkthrough, on month-to-month terms.

Can one plan cover our lab building and our warehouse?

Yes. Each property gets its own posts, patrol stops and reports, all under one plan.

What should we pull together before the walkthrough?

Your open and closed hours, a list of entrances and gates, recent incidents and an after-hours contact. The walkthrough prep guide lists the rest.

What does a security guard company in South San Francisco put in its quote?

Ours lists every post and its hours, the patrol stops and their timing, who receives the shift reports and the hourly rate, all on month-to-month terms. It follows a free walkthrough of the site.

Do you offer armed and unarmed security guards in South San Francisco?

Yes. Unarmed officers cover most lobbies, campuses and residential buildings, and armed officers take the posts where the risk is higher. One plan can mix both across shifts.
