California BSIS Private Patrol Operator PPO 122150 · $1,000,000 insured · Statewide
Pronto Guards provides licensed, insured event security throughout California — for weddings, concerts, corporate functions, festivals, and private parties. Every officer holds a current BSIS Guard Card, and you book online in about 60 seconds with the price shown upfront — no quote to wait on, no sales call. From a 50-guest reception to a multi-thousand-person festival, we scale the team to the event.
Discreet, plainclothes-capable officers for ceremonies and receptions — guest-list control at the entrance, gift-table coverage, bar-area management, and a calm presence that stays in the background.
Crowd-trained officers for ticketed and public events — barricade and stage-front lines, entry screening, backstage and VIP access control, and crowd-flow management that keeps lines moving.
Uniformed or plainclothes officers for conferences, product launches, and galas — badge and access control, lobby and registration coverage, and VIP protection.
Officers for milestone celebrations and estate parties — gate and guest-list enforcement, parking-area watch, and a low-key interior presence.
Pick unarmed, armed, or off-duty officers and set how many you need.

We run dedicated local teams across California. Book in the city where your event or job is:
Event security is priced by the hour, per guard, with a 4-hour minimum per guard. Rates run from about $40 to $120 per guard per hour depending on guard type — unarmed, armed, or off-duty officer — and shift length, with longer shifts billed at lower hourly tiers. You see your exact total instantly when you book online, with no quote to wait for.
A common guideline is one officer per 50 guests, so a 150-guest event typically uses three officers and a 250-guest event about five. Venue size, alcohol service, and whether the event is public or private all affect the count. Book-a-Guard suggests a number from your attendance and lets you adjust before you pay.
