Based on the provided information, Regent Security does not publish fixed hourly rates for security guards for 2026. Instead, they utilize a tailored, custom-quote approach because every property has a unique risk profile and set of requirements.

Several factors influence the final security guard service hourly rates:

• Service Type: The complexity of the role, such as a localized concierge versus a mobile patrol unit, impacts the rate.
• Training and Experience: All professional guards in British Columbia must complete mandated training through institutions like the Justice Institute of British Columbia. Higher levels of experience or specialized training requirements will affect the cost.
• Shift Timing: Pricing variables often change for overnight, weekend, or statutory holiday coverage due to shift differentials.
• Property Complexity and Location: High-traffic urban sites in Vancouver may require different resource allocations than suburban locations.
• Staffing Requirements: A single 24/7 post typically requires 5 full-time equivalents (FTEs) to account for rotations and leave, which affects the overall budget.

Regent Security recommends a free consultation to provide a personalized, obligation-free estimate that accounts for these variables and ensures there are no hidden fees like dispatch or equipment surcharges.
