FSO Guard is licensed as a security agency (B3100530) and as a private investigative agency (A 1000095); you can verify both in the Florida Department of Agriculture license lookup. Ask any Miami security guard company for its license number before you sign. See our guide to choosing a security company in Miami.

Q: How fast can a private security company get a guard to my site?

Q: How much do security services cost in Miami?

Security guards are billed per officer, per hour; bodyguards and executive protection per agent, per hour; mobile patrol per visit; investigations by the hour or as a fixed fee per task. The rate depends on armed or unarmed coverage, the schedule, night, weekend and holiday hours, and how long the contract runs.
