How much does hiring a security guard cost in California?

Security guard costs vary depending on the type of services needed. A good benchmark is to expect to pay between $25 and $65/hour. Here are a few factors that will impact that price range:

  • Location
  • Type of security needed (ex. celebrity security guards may cost more than movie theatre security guards)
  • Degree of experience (ex. off-duty police officers or retired officers will often charge a premium given their experience)
  • Desired hours for security services (ex. several-hour engagements will typically cost more per hour than longer-term engagements)

Do security guards need to be licensed in California?

Yes, you are required to obtain a California guard card to work as a security guard in California. Those who work as armed security guards are also required to go through firearm training and receive a firearm permit.

California’s Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) is in charge of issuing security guard licenses and regulating the private security industry.

Can bodyguards carry guns in California?
