In Chicago, demand for armored transport & cash-in-transit is driven by the Midwest's largest security market and talent pool and downtown corporate towers and financial institutions. The sectors that most rely on this service include corporate and financial services, hospitality and conventions, rail and logistics, with specific needs in areas such as the downtown Loop, the Magnificent Mile and hotel district, McCormick Place and the convention core.

That puts Chicago about 10% above the US national range ($40 — $175) — local wage floors, cost of living and competition for licensed officers all push rates up.
Cash-in-transit is typically priced per scheduled stop, or as a monthly route contract, driven by frequency, load amount/risk, distance and the required insurance limit. Armed crews and hardened vehicles bill well above ordinary courier service; occasional high-value moves are quoted per trip.

Private security in Illinois is licensed at the state level by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). A legitimate company operating in Chicago holds a Private Security Contractor Agency license, which means it has cleared Illinois IDFPR's ownership, background-check and insurance requirements. Ask for that license number in writing and verify it yourself — a certificate on the wall tells you nothing about current standing, since a license can be suspended or revoked.
Hiring an unlicensed company is a risk you carry. In Illinois, operating without a license is class a misdemeanor for a first violation; class 4 felony for a second or subsequent violation (225 ILCS 447/45-50 (Private Detective, Private Alarm, Private Security, Fingerprint Vendor, and Locksmith Act of 2004)). Practicing as, or operating an agency as, a private security contractor without the required IDFPR license is a Class A misdemeanor on first offense and a Class 4 felony for a second or subsequent violation; IDFPR may also assess a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per offense, payable within 60 days after the order becomes effective.
Chicago is policed by a consolidated metro agency, so it doesn't appear as a separate city in the FBI's national table. We use the city's own reported incident data instead, mapped to 77 community-area — which is the more useful view anyway, since risk inside a city varies far more than it does between cities.
