Security Company in Fort Myers and Naples: Guards, Patrols and Protection in Southwest Florida

Security Company in Fort Myers and Naples: Guards, Patrols and Protection in Southwest Florida

Southwest Florida grew faster than its security market. FSO Guard, a Florida Class B security agency (B3100530) and Class A investigative agency (A 1000095), covers Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, Naples and Marco Island with an honest coverage model: local officers for recurring posts, deployed teams for projects and events, and one supervisor who tells you which is which before you sign.

The search for security companies in Fort Myers or security companies in Naples usually starts after something has already happened: a gate that was left unmanned, a construction site stripped of copper over a weekend, a storm that took the power and the fences with it, or a seasonal resident who arrived to find the house had been visited. Southwest Florida added residents, communities and money faster than it added licensed, supervised security officers. FSO Guard fills that gap for Lee and Collier counties as a Florida Class B security agency (B3100530) and Class A investigative agency (A 1000095), with local officers for recurring posts, deployed teams for projects and events, and one written standard for both.

How we cover Southwest Florida honestly

Many agencies list Fort Myers and Naples on their website and staff the post from a job board the week the contract starts. We do it differently and we say so up front.

  • Recurring posts are local. Gatehouses, estates, construction sites and patrol routes in Lee and Collier counties are staffed by Class D and Class G licensed officers who live in the area, with a Gulf coast field supervisor who visits every post, checks logs and handles replacements.
  • Projects and details are deployed. Events, executive protection, a two-week post after a break-in or a storm response team come from our Hollywood, FL headquarters. Travel and lodging appear as a separate line in the written quote, never buried in the hourly rate.
  • One standard for both. Post orders, uniforms, incident reporting and the 24/7 manager line are the same whether the officer lives in Estero or arrived from Broward that morning.
  • Both coasts on one contract. A management company with communities in Naples and Boca Raton, or a developer with sites in Fort Myers and Doral, gets one agreement and one invoice through contract security services, and the client-facing security services hub for South Florida and the rest of the state.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have officers based in Fort Myers and Naples, or do you send them from Miami?

Both, and we tell you which before the contract is signed. Recurring posts such as gatehouses, estates and construction sites are staffed by licensed officers who live in Lee and Collier counties and are supervised by a field supervisor on the Gulf coast. Short projects, events and executive protection details are usually staffed by a deployed team from our Hollywood, FL headquarters, with travel shown openly in the written quote instead of hidden in the hourly rate. We do not run a fake local office with nobody in it.

Which cities in Southwest Florida do you cover?

Lee County: Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, Lehigh Acres, Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel. Collier County: Naples, Marco Island, Golden Gate, Ave Maria and Immokalee. Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Sarasota, Venice and Bradenton are served by arrangement. Our Class B license is valid in every Florida county, so a client with communities on both coasts can keep one contract; see security company serving all of Florida.

Can you provide security after a hurricane in Fort Myers or Naples?

Yes. Post-storm security is a standing part of our Southwest Florida work since Hurricane Ian: officers and marked patrols for communities without power or gates, damaged retail plazas, marinas and construction sites, checkpoints for residents-only access in barrier island neighborhoods, and fire watch where sprinkler and alarm systems are down. Annual clients get storm staffing written into their plan; new clients can usually be covered within 24 hours once roads are open.

What kind of properties do you protect in Naples and Fort Myers?

Mostly gated communities and condominium associations, private estates in Port Royal, Pelican Bay, Aqualane Shores, Gulf Harbour and along the Caloosahatchee, construction sites for new communities and medical buildings, hotels and beach resorts, retail plazas, car dealerships, marinas and yacht owners, and seasonal residents who want executive protection or a guard at the house during the winter season.

How much does a security guard cost in Fort Myers or Naples?

The hourly rate depends on armed or unarmed, hours per week, contract length and whether the post is staffed locally or by a deployed team. Recurring gatehouse and estate posts in Lee and Collier counties are priced close to South Florida rates; short events and emergency posts cost more per hour. You receive a written quote with a fixed hourly figure and any travel shown separately before the first shift. Our guide to security guard cost explains what moves the rate.

Do you also offer private investigators in Southwest Florida?

Yes. Our Class A investigative agency license covers the whole state and we run a dedicated private investigator team for Naples, Fort Myers and Sarasota: surveillance, asset searches, background checks, elder and estate matters, contractor fraud and litigation support, with the same case manager and court-ready reporting as in Miami.
