How much do security guards cost in Philadelphia?

We match you with a licensed, insured guarding company that works in Philadelphia, and that company confirms your price after reviewing the job.

How soon can you put a guard on site in Philadelphia?

Tell us the day you need cover and we will come back to you within one business day with a quote and a matched partner. Longer notice gives you more choice of guard, so it is worth calling as early as you can.

Can I book unarmed, armed or off-duty officers in Philadelphia?

You can ask for unarmed guards, armed guards or off-duty law enforcement officers. Unarmed guards suit most commercial sites. Armed and off-duty officers depend on state licensing rules and on which partners have that staffing available, so we confirm what you can have rather than promising it up front.

Do I have to sign a long contract for security in Philadelphia?

No. We book one-off events, short-term cover of under a month, and ongoing programmes that run for months or years.

Bannerman in Philadelphia

Philadelphia runs on institutions, and institutional sites set the tone for security here. University City hospitals and campuses need officers who can work alongside clinical and academic staff, hold a desk in a building that never fully closes, and de-escalate rather than confront. Center City offices and older mixed-use buildings need access control that works with the building you actually have, not the one a standard post order assumes. The Navy Yard and the industrial corridors along the river need patrols and gate cover on large, quiet sites.

We arrange and manage that cover: concierge and front-desk posts, access and visitor management, foot and vehicle patrols, event staffing and overnight standing guards. Post orders and schedules sit in our dashboard, so the officer on a Sunday night has the same instructions as the one on Monday morning.

We work with security partners across Philadelphia and the surrounding counties, from Center City, University City, Fishtown and Northern Liberties to the Navy Yard, and out to King of Prussia, Conshohocken, Bala Cynwyd and across the river into Camden. Tell us the site, the hours and the type of guard, and we come back within one business day with a quote and a matched partner.
