Questions about k9 security pricing

How much does k9 security cost in the US?

The reference price runs from $60 to $100 USD per K9 team/hour, pre-tax. Handler-and-dog team, billed per hour. K9 teams bill above a standard unarmed post because of the handler premium and the cost of training, certifying and maintaining a working dog. Detection sweeps for events are often priced as a separate engagement rather than an ongoing post.

What factors change the price of k9 security?

The city (prevailing wages and cost of living), the schedule and coverage required, armed vs unarmed staffing, officer profile and experience, and the risk level of the site. That's why it pays to compare several quotes.

Do the prices include tax?

These are pre-tax reference prices. Whether sales tax applies to security services depends on the state; each company's formal quote will itemize any applicable taxes.
