Built around your property

Every property is different.

Redwood City has a bit of everything: waterfront campuses, a lively downtown and bayfront industrial sites. Each of them needs something a little different from its security, and our property-type overview shows how that plays out.

We’ll suggest what fits yours, whether that’s an officer at the front desk, patrol cars stopping by overnight at varied times, someone watching your cameras live, or a mix drawn from all our services. Officers are background checked, rounds are logged and you hear back after every shift.

Guides for Redwood City property owners

What your first month with us looks like

If you’ve never hired security before, the first few weeks are mostly about learning the property. After the free walkthrough and the written quote, coverage starts on the date you picked, and the early shift reports tend to be the most detailed. They note which doors get propped open, where the lighting is thin and which delivery drivers turn up before anyone is there to meet them.

By the end of that first month you have a stack of timed logs and incident reports with photos to read through. Use them to fine-tune the plan: moving a patrol visit later in the night, adding a lockup check or trimming hours that turned out to be quiet. Because coverage runs month to month, those changes are a phone call away.

What a security guard company should hand you

If you’re comparing security guard companies in Redwood City, look at the paperwork as closely as the price. Before the first shift you should have a written quote and post orders you’ve read and signed off on: where the officer stands, which doors and lots get walked, who gets called and in what order.

Once coverage starts, the record keeps coming. Every round is logged with the time, a shift report lands in your inbox after each shift and any incident arrives with photos. A supervisor visits the post for quality inspections, and you have our certificate of insurance before day one. That way the Redwood City security guards on your property are working to a plan you can see, from Redwood Shores to the bayfront.

Matching coverage to the neighborhood

A life-science campus, a downtown restaurant row and a fenced bayfront lot face very different nights. The campus thinks about people slipping in behind badge holders and visitors wandering between buildings. Downtown, the concern is late foot traffic, recessed doorways and back service areas after closing. On the bayfront, it’s long fence lines and equipment left out in the open.

That’s why each property gets its own plan. A campus might pair a lobby officer with live camera watching overnight, while a downtown shop owner is better served by patrol visits at varied times and an alarm check when something trips.

A few useful answers

Questions we hear a lot.

Do you look after corporate campuses?

Yes: reception officers, guest sign-in, patrol and camera monitoring.

Do you cover industrial sites and yards?

Yes, with gate officers, yard walks and overnight coverage.

Can you help at short notice?

Yes. Call rather than filling in the form, and we’ll set up temporary officers for a night, a week or as long as the situation lasts. They can often be on your property within 24 hours.

Who will be guarding our Redwood City property?

Background-checked professionals who each hold a BSIS guard card. The company is insured and bonded, and it carries workers’ compensation.

How much does security cost in Redwood City?

An on-site officer here runs $36 to $50 an hour, and armed coverage $60 to $75 where a property calls for it. Patrol is billed by the minute ($2 to $3, with a five-minute minimum per visit) and camera monitoring per camera. Our guard services page works through a monthly example, and the free walkthrough ends with a written quote on month-to-month terms.

What should we have on hand for the walkthrough?

A rough site map, the hours that worry you most and any recent incidents are a good start. Our walkthrough guide has the full list and explains how the visit runs.

Can our office and our yard across town share one plan?

Yes. Both properties can sit on one plan with their own logs and reports, even if one gets an officer and the other gets patrol visits.

Are you a security guard company or a patrol service?

Both. Redwood City Security places on-site officers, runs marked patrol cars overnight and sets up live camera monitoring, so a lobby, a yard and the hours in between can sit on one plan with one set of reports.
