California BSIS Private Patrol Operator PPO 122150 · $1,000,000 insured · Statewide
Pronto Guards provides discreet, professional close protection throughout California — for executives, visiting principals, high-profile guests, and private clients. Our approach is low-profile by default: advance work, route planning, and a calm protective presence that fits the setting rather than drawing attention to it. Plainclothes and armed options are available based on the assessed need.
Coverage for executives and visiting leadership — airport meet-and-greet, secure transport, venue advance, and a discreet presence through meetings and events.
Close protection for high-profile guests at events, launches, and appearances — coordinated with venue security and tuned to keep a low profile.
Protective coverage at private residences and estates — access control, overnight presence, and coordination with existing household staff and systems.
Advance work before the principal arrives — venue and route assessment, contingency planning, and coordination so the day runs without friction.

Close protection is priced per officer, per hour, typically using plainclothes or off-duty officers given the skill level involved, with a 4-hour minimum. Rates depend on officer type, whether the detail is armed, and the scope of advance work. You see the price when you book online, and we can scope a multi-officer detail for larger needs.
