24/7 Dispatch — Live Now
Emergency & short-notice security coverage
When the property is exposed tonight, the process has to be a phone call, not a proposal. Call dispatch, describe the situation, and we’ll tell you exactly what we can staff and when.
When To Call
Situations we staff on short notice
Guard no-show or cancellation
Your current provider left a post empty. We can often bridge the gap so the site isn’t uncovered while you sort out the contract.
Fire watch orders
An impaired alarm or sprinkler system and an inspector requiring continuous fire watch. Documented patrols, log kept for the authority having jurisdiction. Fire watch details →
Break-in or vandalism overnight
A smashed door or breached fence leaves the property open. An officer secures the scene until repairs are made and insurers are satisfied.
Employee termination standby
A difficult separation, a workplace incident, or a threat that warrants a calm professional presence for staff during and after.
Storm or property damage
Weather damage, failed locks, downed fencing, or a power loss that disables cameras and access control — coverage until systems are restored.
Short-notice events
An event moved up, an unexpected crowd, or a permit condition that requires security staffing on days’ notice. Event security →
How It Works
What happens when you call
Dispatch takes the details
Address, situation, when coverage needs to start, armed or unarmed, and any hazards an officer should know about.
We confirm what we can staff
You get a straight answer on the call — officer availability and a realistic start window. No overpromising.
The officer is briefed before arrival
Even a same-day post gets working post orders: what to protect, what to check, who to call.
You get documentation
Shift activity and incidents are reported — useful for insurance claims, the fire marshal, or your own management chain.

FAQ
Emergency coverage questions
How fast can an emergency guard be on site?
It depends on the post requirements and officer availability at that moment — which is why we don’t publish a one-size-fits-all number. Call 508-803-6900 with the address and the situation, and dispatch will give you a realistic arrival window on the call, honestly.
What counts as an emergency security request?
Anything that can’t wait for a normal proposal cycle: a guard company no-show, a fire watch ordered after an alarm or sprinkler impairment, an overnight break-in that leaves a property unsecured, an employee termination that needs a professional presence, or storm damage that opens a building.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract for emergency coverage?
No. Emergency posts can run for a single shift, a weekend, or as long as the situation lasts. If you later want ongoing coverage, we’ll build a plan — but short-term help doesn’t obligate you to anything.
