Security Company Serving All of Florida

Security Company Serving All of Florida

Florida Class B security agency (B3100530) and Class A investigative agency (A 1000095) headquartered in Hollywood, FL — security guards, mobile patrols, HOA and gated community security, event security, executive protection and private investigators for clients anywhere in the state, under one contract.

Most security companies in Florida are either national conglomerates that treat your property as an account number or one-county operators who cannot follow you past the county line. FSO Guard is built for the space between: a Florida Class B security agency (B3100530) and Class A investigative agency (A 1000095) headquartered in Hollywood, FL, with local teams in South Florida, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville and the ability to deploy anywhere in the state under one contract, one set of standards and one phone number that a manager actually answers.

Security services we provide across Florida

Security guards

Armed and unarmed security officers for offices, retail, distribution centers, hospitals, schools, hotels and residential towers — fixed posts, lobbies, gates and overnight coverage.

Marked patrol vehicles with GPS-verified rounds, lock-ups and alarm response for communities, business parks, construction sites and retail plazas where a standing post is not justified.

Why clients across Florida choose one agency

  • One license, one contract. Multi-site portfolios — a management company with communities in three regions, a retailer with stores across the state, a developer with projects in several counties — get one contract, one post-order standard, one reporting portal and one invoice through our contract security services.
  • Honest coverage model. We tell you before you sign whether your post will be staffed by local officers, a deployed team or a mix, and price the travel openly instead of hiding it in the hourly rate.
  • Supervision that travels. Every recurring account has a field supervisor and a manager reachable 24/7 at (786) 659-5011, whether the site is in Doral or Daytona.
  • Officers, not placeholders. Class D and Class G licensed officers, screened, trained and paid above the local market so the same faces stay on your post. Read how to choose a security company for the questions that expose the difference.
  • Security and investigations under one roof. When a security incident needs an investigation — theft, fraud, a threat against an executive — the same agency handles it with a court-ready report.
  • Three languages. English, Spanish and Russian speaking officers, investigators and managers for Florida’s international clients.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FSO Guard licensed to provide security everywhere in Florida?

Yes. A Florida Class B security agency license (B3100530) issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is valid statewide, as is our Class A private investigative agency license (A 1000095). Our officers hold Class D (unarmed) and Class G (armed) licenses that are likewise valid in every county. Learn how the classes work in our guide to Florida security license classes.

How do you staff a post in a city where you have no office?

We do not run fake local offices. In Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville we have officers and supervisors who live in the area and work our accounts there; for other cities we deploy a team for the assignment, quote the travel honestly and tell you before you sign whether the coverage will be local officers, a deployed team or a mix. Recurring accounts get a dedicated field supervisor wherever they are.

Can one contract cover properties in several Florida cities?

Yes — that is the point of a statewide agency. A management company with communities in Miami, Orlando and Tampa, a retailer with stores across the state or a developer with sites in three counties gets one contract, one set of post orders, one reporting portal and one invoice. See our contract security services.

How much do security companies in Florida charge?

Rates depend on the city, whether the officer is armed, the hours and the length of the contract; large metro areas and short-notice or holiday coverage cost more. We give a written quote with a fixed hourly or monthly figure and no hidden fees, and we price transparently against the local market. Our article on security guard cost explains the drivers.

How quickly can you respond in a Florida city outside South Florida?

For Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville, most posts and patrols start within 24–72 hours; executive protection and event details can often be staffed within a day. For Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, the Space Coast, Tallahassee, Pensacola and the Keys, allow a few days for a planned deployment — and for emergencies, call (786) 659-5011 and we will tell you honestly what can be done today.
