Unarmed Security Guards & Officers in Sacramento, CA

Most security work in Sacramento never involves a weapon. It is a uniformed officer at a Downtown Commons lobby desk logging visitors, a patrol walking the fence line of a Railyards construction site at two in the morning, a guard managing the rideshare queue after a Kings game at Golden 1 Center, or an officer at a UC Davis Medical Center entrance directing a lost family toward the right elevator bank. Sacramento's growth has multiplied all of it — infill towers downtown, medical campus expansion in Oak Park and Midtown, apartment construction across Natomas and Elk Grove, and a downtown arena district that turned a dead retail block into a year-round event calendar. Unarmed officers are the visible layer of that growth: approachable, observant, and trained to report rather than intervene. Calvis connects Sacramento property managers, builders, and event producers with BSIS-registered guards from vetted local agencies.

California requires every unarmed security guard to hold a Security Guard Registration — the guard card — issued by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, which means a Power to Arrest course, a Department of Justice and FBI background check, and ongoing training hours during the first year of registration. Unlike many states, California enforces this at the individual officer level, not just the company level. Sacramento's public-sector and healthcare clients often layer additional screening on top. Calvis confirms current BSIS registration for every guard before deployment.
