Security Services Available in Berkeley
Unarmed Security Guards
Unarmed security guards can support access control, visitor management, visible presence, de-escalation, assigned patrol, policy enforcement, and incident reporting. They are often a strong fit for customer-facing, apartment, office, institutional, and routine commercial posts.
Armed Security Guards
Armed security guards may be appropriate where a documented elevated threat, high-value assets, sensitive access, or another risk factor supports armed coverage. Armed is not automatically better; selection should be risk-based.
Mobile Patrol Security
Mobile patrol security uses scheduled or randomized property visits for parking, perimeter, doors, gates, multiple buildings, after-hours exposure, and smaller sites that may not need a continuously staffed post.
CCTV Monitoring
CCTV monitoring supports remote or event-driven visibility across approved camera zones according to the verified monitoring model. It can complement guards, patrol, and access-control procedures.
Security & Risk Assessment
A security risk assessment can review current controls, access, property operations, vulnerabilities, incident patterns, and service fit before a buyer commits to guard hours, patrol frequency, CCTV, or layered coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
GPS provides or plans around unarmed security guards, armed security guards, mobile patrol security, CCTV monitoring, and security risk assessment services for Berkeley properties where operationally available. The correct service depends on access, property use, hours, risk, parking, current controls, and required physical presence.
Unarmed guards are often a strong fit for public-facing access, apartments, offices, retail, and routine commercial posts. Armed coverage should be selected when documented elevated risk, high-value assets, sensitive access, or another risk factor justifies it. A security assessment can help determine the fit.
Mobile patrol is useful when a property needs recurring physical checks but not a continuously staffed post. Common uses include parking, perimeter, doors, gates, multiple buildings, smaller properties, and after-hours coverage. Scheduled or randomized visits can be defined around actual checkpoints.
Yes. CCTV can provide remote visibility while a guard manages continuous access or mobile patrol performs physical checks. The combination should solve specific coverage gaps. GPS should describe only integrations, monitoring workflows, and response procedures it can verify.
The GPS service framework can support these property categories where the company actually accepts the assignment. Specialized institutional, healthcare, laboratory/research, or other sector experience should be claimed only when first-party evidence is available.
A multi-site account can use different security models at different properties, with site-specific post orders, patrol requirements, escalation contacts, and coverage hours. GPS's exact multi-site supervision, reporting, and account-management workflow should be confirmed in the proposal.
The planning process reviews the site and daily operation, current risks and controls, service options, post or patrol responsibilities, and escalation needs. The objective is to match the security model to the property rather than start with a predetermined number of guards.
Grand Protective Security publicly lists 24/7 on-call availability. Actual guard shifts, patrol schedules, monitoring hours, or continuous coverage should be defined in the contract. On-call availability should not be treated as a guarantee that every service runs continuously 24/7.
Pricing depends on service type, coverage hours, guard count, armed or unarmed requirements, property type, risk level, patrol frequency, reporting, supervision, schedule, urgency, contract duration, and specialized requirements. A site-specific scope is more reliable than a generic hourly estimate.
Provide the Berkeley property address or area, property type, number of locations, service needed or 'not sure,' start date, coverage hours, guard count if known, armed/unarmed preference, patrol needs, current security, main concern, and urgency. GPS can then prepare a more relevant scope.
