Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about our security guard services in California.
Yes. Invincible Security Group holds a Bureau of Security & Investigative Services (BSIS) Private Patrol Operator license, PPO #122748. All of our security officers are individually licensed and permitted by the state of California. We maintain full compliance with all California security regulations and stay current with any updates to state licensing requirements.
Unarmed security officers provide visible deterrence, access control, patrols, and incident reporting without carrying a firearm. Armed security officers carry a firearm and are additionally trained and licensed under BSIS firearm permits. Armed guards are typically deployed in higher-risk environments such as banks, jewelry stores, cannabis dispensaries, or properties with a history of violent incidents. Our team can help you determine the appropriate level of coverage for your facility.
In many cases, we can deploy officers within 24–72 hours of contract execution. For urgent situations such as fire watch, post-incident coverage, or emergency deployments, we maintain a pool of pre-screened, available officers and can often respond within hours. Contact us directly at 877-345-9239 for urgent deployment requests.
No. We offer flexible service agreements and can deploy on a short-term, trial, or ongoing basis. We believe in earning your business through the quality of our service — not locking you into a long-term commitment. Many of our clients start on a short-term or trial basis and choose to continue based on the results we deliver. Contact us to discuss the arrangement that works best for your facility.
Yes. We carry comprehensive commercial general liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance as required by California law. We are also fully bonded. Upon contract execution, we can provide certificates of insurance naming your organization as an additional insured if required by your property management or ownership.
Pricing depends on several factors including the type of service (armed vs. unarmed), number of officers, hours of coverage, and location. We provide fully customized quotes based on your specific needs after a brief consultation. There are no hidden fees.

All of our officers undergo thorough pre-employment screening that includes criminal background checks, drug testing, employment history verification, and reference checks. All officers must hold valid California BSIS security guard registrations. Armed officers must also hold valid BSIS Firearm Permits. We do not deploy unregistered or unlicensed personnel to any post under any circumstances.

Absolutely. Every client engagement begins with a consultation and — where appropriate — a site walk. We use this information to develop a site-specific security plan that addresses your property's unique layout, risks, operating hours, and budget. We don't deploy one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether you need a single post officer, a multi-officer team, mobile patrol, or a hybrid approach, we'll design the right program for you.
Getting started is simple — and fast. Submit a free quote request through our online form and we'll respond immediately. From there, we'll schedule a brief consultation, assess your needs, and present a custom proposal — with no obligation. Most clients have officers on-site within 24–48 hours of agreeing to terms.
