Regarding Security Patrol and Guards

Hi everyone! Currently looking for a security guard service wanted to see what you guys thought is the best approach to hiring and finding security guard service.

What do you believe is a fair price, pros and cons of the service and best way to reach out to one/get the best price possible.

We don't know what kinds of security services you have in mind? Does your HOA need someone to cruise your premises in a car to deter vandalism in a large detached home HOA? Do you need one top put notices on parking violators? Do you just need an officer at a gated entrance to control access? Do you need an officer to monitor the swimming pool(s) and other recreational amenities?

Our urban 2 condo high rises need an access control officer in a kiosk at our gated vehicle entrance 24/7, and a 2nd officer 20/24 to do "roves" of the premises, get parcels from our Parcel Room for Residents. We pay a little above minimum wage and give raises every year. A supervisor etc somewhat more.

I'd check with HOAs similar to yours for what security services they need and what they pay. Assuming your'e on the board, you might interview a board member at those HOAs, or the community manager. I think that first, visit some websites to see what available.
