Residential Security Services
Professional home security personnel for peace of mind.
Residential security places a licensed officer at a property rather than with a person. It covers access control, perimeter patrol and visitor screening, and it is booked either continuously or around a specific window of concern.
Coverage starts at $129 per hour with a four-hour minimum. An eight-hour shift is $1,032 before discounts, and bookings of eight hours or more automatically take 10 percent off.
What's Included
How It Works
Site walk
Your security officer tours and assesses your property.
Protocol setup
Entry procedures, patrol routes, and emergency contacts established.
Active duty
Officer maintains regular patrols and monitors all access points.
Shift handoff
For multi-day coverage, officers rotate with full briefings.
When people book it
Usually around an event rather than permanently: a period following a break-in or an attempted one, a domestic situation where someone has been turning up, a property standing empty during travel, or renovation work that leaves the building open to contractors.
The other common case is a household with staff and deliveries, where the value is in someone controlling who comes through the door rather than in responding to an incident.
What an officer does on site
A site walk comes first, so the officer knows the property before the shift starts. Entry procedures, patrol routes and emergency contacts are agreed with you rather than assumed. On duty the officer maintains regular patrols, controls entry and exit, and screens visitors against whatever list you provide.
For multi-day coverage, officers rotate with a full briefing at handoff so the second shift is not starting from nothing.
Personnel, not systems
This is a staffing service. We will advise on how your existing cameras, lighting and access hardware fit the patrol plan, but we do not sell, install or monitor alarm systems, and we have no incentive to tell you that you need more equipment.
If the honest assessment is that better lighting and a functioning lock solve your problem more cheaply than an officer, we will say so.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does residential security cost?+
From $129 per hour with a four-hour minimum. An eight-hour shift is $1,032 before discounts and bookings of eight hours or more take 10 percent off, bringing that to about $929. Continuous cover requires a rotating team and is quoted as a retainer.
Can I book an officer for 24-hour home coverage?+
Yes, though genuine round-the-clock cover means a rotating team rather than one person working impossible hours. Engagements above 40 hours per month are quoted as retainers with volume pricing rather than at the hourly list rate.
Do you install alarms or cameras?+
No. This is a staffing service. We will advise on how your existing cameras, lighting and access hardware fit the patrol plan, but we do not sell, install or monitor equipment, which means we have no reason to recommend more of it than you need.
Will the officer screen visitors and deliveries?+
Yes. Entry and exit control and visitor screening against a list you provide are part of the standard protocol, agreed with you during the site walk rather than assumed. For many households this is the main reason to book.
Can I book residential security for a short period?+
Yes, and short bookings around a specific concern are common: travel, renovation work with contractors on site, or the weeks following an incident. The minimum is four hours and there is no requirement to commit to ongoing coverage.
Are residential security officers armed?+
Unarmed by default. Armed coverage is available where state law permits and the officer holds a current armed carry permit for that jurisdiction, and it is quoted per engagement because it requires separate licensing verification and a liability endorsement.
