What are the requirements to become a security guard in Sacramento?

California requires a current BSIS guard card. We also require a clean background, reliable transportation, a working phone, and the ability to write a clear incident report. Experience is preferred but not required for entry-level posts.

Do I need an armed guard license to apply?

No. Summit Force primarily deploys unarmed officers and marked mobile patrol. Armed posts are rare and require additional BSIS firearms permits, which we verify separately.

What shifts are available?

Day, swing, graveyard and weekend shifts across Sacramento, Roseville, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, Stockton and surrounding areas. Mobile patrol and construction-site overnight posts are in highest demand.

Email your name, guard card number, experience and preferred shift area to summitforces@gmail.com or call 1-800-823-5337. A supervisor schedules an interview and site orientation before your first post.
