Hire Private Security from $60/hr

Private security in the United States ranges from $60 to $120 per hour for a single licensed agent, with a 4-hour minimum booking. Standard guards start at $60/hr, Professional protectors at $85/hr, and Elite (former federal agents) at $120/hr. Armed protection, weekend hours, and rush bookings add 15-25%.

Specify armed preference at booking.

Most engagements can be confirmed within 2-4 hours in major metro areas. Same-day deployments are routine for urgent requests. For complex multi-agent details or international travel, 24-48 hours advance notice is recommended to allow proper site preparation and team assembly.

The cost is typically a small fraction of the liability or reputational downside of an unmanaged incident.
