Hiring security in San Francisco: common questions

Do security guards in San Francisco need a California licence?
Yes. Guards working in San Francisco must hold a California guard registration, and the companies employing them must hold a Private Patrol Operator licence from the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. Ask for both numbers before you sign anything.
How do I check a San Francisco security company before hiring?
Confirm the Private Patrol Operator number with BSIS, ask for a current certificate of insurance, and request references for sites of a similar size to yours.
Which areas around San Francisco do these companies cover?
Coverage is stored per city. Most providers listed here also cover other San Francisco County cities, and each card states whether the company is based in San Francisco or travels in to serve it.
What does Security Explorer publish about San Francisco companies?
We publish only listings that have passed manual review. We show a licence as checked only when we hold a dated record of that check, and featured placement is a paid position rather than a recommendation.
