Security guards
in Richmond.

Virginia runs one of the more prescriptive regimes in the country. The Department of Criminal Justice Services requires unarmed officers to complete the 18-hour 01E entry-level course — covering law, patrol and access control, documentation, emergency procedures, and confrontation management — then submit fingerprints and register with DCJS before working a post. The agencies that employ them must separately hold a DCJS private security services business license, and armed officers need an additional firearms endorsement. Calvis partners only with agencies holding that license and verifies each officer's DCJS registration for the assigned role before deployment.

Yes. The Scott's Addition beverage district packs breweries, cideries, and distilleries into a few walkable blocks, and weekend crowds, private events, and festival days there need door coverage, ID checks, and parking management that ramps up and back down quickly. Because we source from several licensed Richmond-area agencies, you can book a single Saturday night or a multi-day event without a standing contract, and the surrounding construction sites can be covered by the same account.

Yes. Calvis runs multi-location coverage from a single dashboard with centralized billing, so a property manager or corporate security team handling Capitol Square offices, Innsbrook office parks, and the West Creek corridor coordinates everything in one place instead of negotiating separately for each address. Real-time GPS tracking, digital timesheets, and a no-show guarantee keep coverage consistent across sites that are 20 miles apart.
