Working with venues
Hotels and venues have their own staff and rules. We coordinate with them ahead of time on who handles what, so guests see one team and nothing falls between the cracks.

Booking event security
Santa Monica event coverage ranges from a single officer at a private dinner to a team for a launch, conference or gala, including load-in days. Event coverage is quoted per event, based on the guest count, the hours and the mix of officers. Published hourly ranges for guards and off-duty officers are on our rates page, and requests with less than 7 days’ notice carry an upcharge, so it helps to call early. Request a consultation, or call or text (442) 288-6642.
