Security guard and patrol costs in Sacramento vary widely based on service type, level of risk, hours needed, and licensing requirements. This guide provides current 2026 pricing for every major security service category available in Sacramento, from the most affordable mobile patrol programs to comprehensive armed security contracts. All prices are from Stormhammer Security (PPO #121830) — Sacramento's most-reviewed security company.

Unarmed security guard Sacramento cost: $22–30/hour (4-hour minimum). This is the most common security guard deployment in Sacramento. Unarmed officers work at retail stores, office buildings, apartments, hospitals, schools, and events throughout the region. The 4-hour minimum applies to most single deployments. Weekly and monthly contract rates offer discounts of 10–15%.

Armed security guard Sacramento cost: $30–42/hour (4-hour minimum). Armed officers with California Firearm and Baton Permits command higher rates reflecting the additional licensing, training, and insurance requirements. Armed security is used at cannabis dispensaries, auto dealerships, jewelry stores, banks, cash-handling retail, and elevated-risk properties. The armed rate varies based on weapon type and officer certification level.

Mobile patrol Sacramento cost: $200–$5,400/month. Mobile patrol is priced by the number of patrol passes per night and nights per week. At $1/minute for a 15-minute average patrol pass: 1 pass/night = $450/month, 3 passes/night = $1,350/month, 6 passes/night = $2,700/month, 12 passes/night = $5,400/month. Patrol is available 3–7 nights per week, reducing monthly cost proportionally.

HOA neighborhood patrol Sacramento cost: $20–50/home/month. When 15 or more homes in a Sacramento neighborhood organize a shared patrol program, cost drops dramatically. 15–25 homes typically pay $25–35/home/month. 30+ homes can access rates as low as $15–20/home/month. This is the most cost-effective security option for Sacramento residential communities.

Fire watch Sacramento cost: $28–35/hour (continuous coverage required by law). Fire watch is required by Sacramento Fire Code when sprinkler/fire suppression systems are offline. Because fire watch is a legal mandate (not optional), pricing is typically less negotiable than other services. Same-day deployment is available for emergency fire watch situations.

Event security Sacramento cost: $30–42/officer/hour (4-hour minimum per officer). Event security is priced per officer. Most Sacramento events use 2–10 officers. A 100-person private event typically needs 2–3 officers ($240–$504 total for a 4-hour event). A 1,000-person outdoor festival typically needs 8–15 officers depending on venue layout and crowd risk level.

"L Street business owner here. We switched to Stormhammer Security last year after trying two other companies. The difference is night and day. Their patrol officers actually walk the property, document everything, and respond immediately. Dispatch line 530-902-9390 is always answered by real people. Highly recommend!"
