How Much Does Residential Security Cost?
Residential cost comes down to one number: how many officer-hours you are buying.
Hours before headcount
Overnight cover for two weeks, daytime access management, and permanent 24/7 rotation are three very different budgets. Start by deciding which hours genuinely need covering rather than defaulting to all of them.
What else moves the price
Property and location matter as much as hours.
- Size and layout of the property and grounds
- Whether patrols or a single static position are needed
- Travel time for officers to reach the site
- Accommodation for long rural assignments
- Whether movements off-site are included
Reducing cost sensibly
Often the answer is fewer officer-hours plus better physical security: lighting, access control, cameras that someone actually monitors, and a clear household protocol. We will say so where it applies.
