When a situation can't wait for a quote next week, Calvis matches you with licensed agencies that can move now, so you get a vetted officer on site in hours, not days.
Share the site, the start time you need, and the situation, an active threat, a break-in, an event that spun up, a terminated employee, or a contracted guard who didn't show. The faster we understand the risk, the faster we match you with an agency that can cover it.
We surface licensed local agencies with officers actually available for your window, not a generic waitlist. You see who can deploy, their licensing, and the rate before you commit. For active emergencies, call the number above and our dispatch line works the match with you in real time.
Approve the match and the agency dispatches a licensed officer to your site, often the same day. Track arrival, shift status, and incident reports from one Calvis dashboard, and extend or stand down the coverage as the situation changes.
Every emergency and same-day booking through Calvis is built around getting a qualified guard on site fast.
Officers on site in hours, not days. Our multi-agency network is built to fill last-minute and short-notice posts the same day in most markets.
Emergencies don't keep business hours. Request coverage day or night, overnight, weekend, or holiday, and reach a live dispatch line for active situations.
Even on short notice, every officer comes from an agency licensed in your state. Calvis verifies licensing before deployment, so speed never costs you compliance.
Trained officers for break-ins, trespassing, threats, hostile visitors, terminations, and crowd situations that escalated without warning.
Storefronts, offices, construction sites, events, residential properties, and vacant buildings, matched to an agency that already works your area.
Cover a single overnight gap or hold a post for days while you set up a permanent contract. Scale the coverage up or down as the emergency evolves.
Left exposed when a contracted guard didn't show? We match you with a replacement officer fast so your site is never left unprotected.
See the rate before you confirm, even on same-day requests. Short-notice pricing is shown upfront with no hidden surge fees buried in the invoice.
Yes. Same-day and overnight security is the core of this service. Calvis matches you with licensed local agencies that have officers available for short-notice posts, and in most markets we can get a vetted guard on site within hours. For active emergencies, use the call option above so our dispatch line can work the match with you in real time.
Common reasons buyers book emergency security include an active threat or trespasser, a break-in or vandalism, a terminated or hostile employee, a protest or crowd that formed without notice, a contracted guard who didn't show, a sudden event or VIP visit, and securing a vacant or damaged property after an incident. If the situation can't wait for a normal quote, this is the right place to start.
Arrival depends on your location, the time of day, and how many officers you need, but most same-day requests in our covered markets are filled within a few hours. We only show you agencies that have officers genuinely available for your window, so the time you see is realistic, not a placeholder.
Yes. Speed never bypasses licensing. Every officer comes from an agency that is licensed in your state and background-checks its guards, and Calvis verifies that licensing before deployment. You get the same vetted, insured agencies on a same-day request that you would on a planned booking.
Short-notice unarmed guards typically run a little higher than planned coverage because of the rapid turnaround, often in the range of $30 to $55 per hour depending on the market, the hours, and whether you need armed officers. The exact rate is shown upfront before you confirm, with no hidden surge fees added later.
Yes, guard no-show backup is one of the most common reasons buyers reach us. Tell us the site and the window you're exposed, and we match you with a licensed agency that can dispatch a replacement officer quickly so your property isn't left unprotected while you sort things out with your existing provider.
No. Calvis is a marketplace that connects you with licensed local security agencies, it is not the agency and does not employ the guards. Each officer is provided and licensed by an independent agency in your state, and Calvis verifies that licensing and matches you with an agency that can deploy on your timeline.
Yes. Many buyers start with a same-day request and then continue with the same agency for ongoing coverage once the immediate situation settles. You can extend the emergency coverage, convert it to a recurring schedule, or stand it down entirely, all from one Calvis dashboard and without a long-term commitment.
