Security at warehouses that holds the perimeter after the shift ends.
Mission Protection Services staffs on-site unarmed security officers for warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial sites under our BSIS Private Patrol Operator license (PPO 126825). Post orders written against your perimeter, dock windows, and after-hours access map — not a body pulled off a generic patrol route. Deterrence in the open, presence in the gaps between camera coverage, and 24-hour dispatch backup California + nationwide.
- Unarmed guard presence — perimeter, dock windows, after-hours
- Deterrence tailored to warehouse and distribution-center footprints
- GPS-stamped sweeps + alarm response on the same audit trail
Where warehouse security gaps actually open
Four risk surfaces a generic mobile patrol won’t cover overnight.
Mobile patrol is a drive-through. Warehouse security is an on-site posture — written against your perimeter, your dock windows, your after-hours access map, and the gaps between camera coverage. These are the four risk surfaces our customers lose the most sleep to before a single officer clocks in.
Perimeter breaches & fence-line intrusion
Cut or lifted chain-link, propped-open service gates, and after-hours transit through yard gates left unverified. Unstaffed perimeters invite the kind of low-friction intrusion that turns into a serious loss event before morning shift notices. We walk the fence line on a documented GPS cadence and lock down the gaps you only spot from the outside.
Inventory theft from unsecured interiors
Open dock doors, unattended staging aisles, and unsecured high-value pick zones during the lull between shifts. A roving officer with a posted sweep checklist makes opportunism visible — the same way standing presence at the lobby deters walk-ins, applied to the floor where the inventory actually lives.
Dock & loading-area vulnerabilities
After-hours driver access, weekend trailer pooling outside camera coverage, and the gap between the inbound manifest and the trailer-seal verification. Dock presence tied to your trailer-pool and yard-driver windows closes the window for inbound/outbound skim and unauthorized after-hours pickups.
After-hours access control failures
Alarm system blind to who actually responds, a single shared gate code in circulation, and no human eyes on the lobby while the cleaning crew is on-site. We staff the after-hours roster with a standing or roving officer who answers alarms, signs vendors in, and hands a clean shift to your morning team.
What we put on-site
A standing gate post, perimeter patrol, dock escort, and after-hours roving — the four postures a warehouse or DC actually needs.
The same audit trail we built for every armed and unarmed post — GPS-stamped, time-carded, and downloadable from your dashboard the moment a shift ends. Written for warehouse and industrial operations, not retrofitted from a residential or retail playbook.
Standing post at main gate or front desk
A uniformed unarmed officer at the entry during business hours — visitor check-in, driver sign-in, vendor credentialing. Logs every arrival on the same platform we run for the rest of our licensed posts, so dispatch and your site lead see the same tail of who crossed the threshold.
Perimeter & fence-line patrol
A roving officer covering the fence line, yard gates, and any rooftop or service access that sits outside camera coverage. Each sweep GPS-stamped and time-carded against your perimeter map — chains, latches, propped gates, and yard-driver windows all get a checkpoint, not just a loop.
Dock & loading-area escort
Trailer-seal verification on inbound and outbound, BOL cross-check against the manifest at your dock windows, and a documented walk of any trailer pooled overnight in the yard. Coverage tightens around your dock windows without breaking cadence the rest of the day.
After-hours roving presence
Lobby and corridor sweep, alarm-response escalation to our 24-hour dispatch line, vendor sign-in for cleaning crews or late maintenance, and a clean shift handoff to your morning team. A real human answers the dispatch line at any hour — if a sweep is missed, the supervisor on rotation gets a notification within minutes.
California Bureau of Security & Investigative Services Private Patrol Operator. In good standing since 2010.
Every perimeter and dock sweep GPS-stamped from the officer’s app, surfaced on your dashboard in real time. Cadence tightens to match your yard-driver windows and after-hours alarm zones.
Per-shift alarm-response log, perimeter sweep trail, and trailer-seal verification history — exportable as a single zipped pack when insurance or your operations team asks for the record.
Typical warehouse security pricing
Per-hour planning bands so dispatch can quote on the first call.
These are typical bands — not a published contract. Your brief lands with our unarmed / warehouse dispatch lead, who answers within one business day with a number specific to your footprint, dock windows, and after-hours scope.
Standing post · business hours
$$/hr
A single unarmed officer at the gate or front desk during business hours — visitor check-in, driver sign-in, vendor credentialing. Paired with periodic perimeter sweeps tied to the workday peak.
Standing post · after-hours / overnight
$$/hr
A single unarmed officer on-site overnight when the building is closed — alarm-response primary, vendor sign-in for cleaning crews, and the clean shift handoff to your morning team.
Roving officer · 24/7 perimeter + dock
$$/hr
A roving unarmed officer covering fence line, yard, and docks on a documented GPS sweep cadence. The default posture for warehouses and DCs that need presence across a large footprint without a fixed desk.
Supervisor add-on
+$$/hr
Added to any base tier for multi-building campuses or end-of-night alarm-response escalation. The single supervisor covers both sites, written up against the same nightly incident summary.
California does not regulate guard pricing. The bands above are a planning estimate from recent warehouse and industrial placements in our service area. Bands to be confirmed by the founder before this page indexes; final quote reflects footprint, dock windows, perimeter sweep cadence, and whether a supervisor add-on is in scope.
