A dedicated officer on your property

A security guard is the most direct form of protection: a trained person who stays on your site for the whole shift. A visible officer discourages theft, trespassing and vandalism before they start, notices what cameras and alarms miss, and gives employees, tenants and visitors someone to turn to.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose armed or unarmed officers?

Unarmed officers fit most posts where visibility, observation and a professional point of contact are the goal. Armed officers are for sites where the risk calls for it. If you are unsure, describe the site and a supervisor will talk it through with you.

Uniformed or plain clothes?

Uniformed officers are a visible deterrent. Plain-clothes officers suit places where you want security present without drawing attention. Both are available.

Can you cover a post on short notice?

Yes. Short-notice security guards and emergency armed protection are part of what we do. Put your start date and time in the quote request.

Can you cover a parking lot or a scrap yard?

Yes. Parking lot security and scrap and recycling yard security are both guard services we provide.

Are your officers licensed?

SavIsa Solutions is a licensed and insured Michigan security guard agency, and every officer we place is fully trained.

Who do I call if something comes up during a shift?

Our supervisors are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for the length of your service.

How is a guard post priced?

We offer two options: Contracted Protection for a set, recurring schedule, or Short-Notice Protection for short-notice and one-time shifts. Rates are quoted individually: Click for a quote. We do not quote jobs of less than 12 hours per week. See the guard pricing page.
