How much does it cost costfor a guard to a contract security company?

If you want a decent guard, you probably shouldn’t use contracted security. They typically give their guards the worst pay rates, minimal or nonexistent benefits, and only the minimum training that’s legally required by the state they’re in (which is a joke, even in the states that regulate the security industry more strictly). You’ll likely wind up with somebody who’s little more than a warm body in a cheap polyester uniform who’s there just for show and unable to do anything more complicated than keeping a logbook or running around a building hitting keys. If that’s all you need, then fine, but God forbid there’s ever an incident where you’d need him to protect life or property. You’re better off getting together with a security consultant and hiring a guard in-house instead, and have him help you with the qualifications and background checks, and preferably hire an off-duty cop who’s moonlighting.
