Types of security guards we provide

  • Unarmed security guards — Class D licensed officers for access control, front desks, patrols and events. The right choice for most properties.
  • Armed security guards — Class G licensed officers for high-value assets, cash handling, estates and threat situations.
  • Plain-clothes officers for retail loss prevention, executive floors and events where a uniform would be out of place.
  • Concierge security officers who combine hospitality with access control for condos and hotels.
  • Mobile patrol — when you need checks rather than a full-time post.
  • Bodyguards and executive protection — when a person, not a place, is what needs protecting.

  2. Get a written quote the same day — hourly rate, number of officers, armed or unarmed, start time.
  3. Approve and schedule. For long-term posts we visit the site and write post orders; for urgent one-time coverage we brief the officer by phone and on arrival.

Security guard rates in Miami

Guards are billed per officer per hour. The rate depends on armed or unarmed coverage, the schedule (long-term contracts cost less per hour than one-time or short-notice coverage), overnight, weekend and holiday shifts, and special requirements such as bilingual officers or business attire. We send exact numbers in writing — no vague ranges. For a detailed explanation of what drives the price, read how much a security guard costs in Miami.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I hire a security guard in Miami?

Standard deployments start within 24 hours. Same-day coverage is available for urgent needs — a break-in, a termination, fire watch, a last-minute event — subject to officer availability. Call and a supervisor will tell you honestly when the officer can be on site.

Is there a minimum booking?

Yes. Most assignments have a four-hour minimum per officer per shift. Long-term contracts have no minimum beyond the agreed schedule.

Can I hire a guard for just one night?

Yes. One-night and one-day posts are common: a party, a vacant property, a delivery, an open house, an overnight shutdown at a construction site.

Armed or unarmed — which should I choose?

Unarmed officers suit most residential, office, retail and event sites. Armed officers are recommended where the value at risk or the threat level requires an immediate response. Tell us the situation and we will recommend; the advice is free and honest.

What do I need to provide?

Just the address, hours, start date and what the officer should do. We handle post orders, uniforms, scheduling and supervision. For long-term posts we visit the site first.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. FSO Guard is a licensed Florida security agency (Class B). Officers hold Class D licenses, armed officers add the Class G firearms license, and we carry the insurance the state requires. Certificates of insurance are available on request.
