This is the FSO Guard blog: practical guides for business owners, property managers, families and event organizers who need to hire armed or unarmed security guards, bodyguards or a licensed private investigator in Miami and across Florida, and want straight answers before they call anyone. Every article is written by our supervisors and investigators, not by a marketing agency, and reflects how private security actually works under Florida law and the Class B and Class A agency licenses we hold.
The most common questions we hear are about money and trust: what does a security guard cost per hour, how much does a bodyguard cost for a day, what a private investigator charges for surveillance, and how to check whether a security company is properly licensed. The pricing guides below explain what drives the rate without quoting a single number that would be wrong for your situation; the hiring guides show you exactly which licenses to verify and which questions to ask. We also explain what guards and investigators can and cannot legally do, because expectations set correctly on day one prevent most problems later.
The planning section contains checklists you can hand to a venue manager, a church board or a yacht captain: how to plan event security, how to write a security plan for a church or synagogue, when a fire watch is required, and how to secure a yacht at the dock and under way. When you are ready to talk to a person, our dispatch answers around the clock at 888.881.8099, and every service we describe is listed on the security services page.
