Estimated range per guard post/month in Lakeland:
$7,400 — $12,000 USD
That puts Lakeland about 7% below the US national range ($8,000 — $12,800) — lower local wage pressure generally means lower bill rates, though scarce licensed supply can offset it.
Armed officers typically run about 35% more than unarmed coverage for the same post — the premium covers the firearm permit, range requalification and the higher insurance the provider carries. In Lakeland that puts an armed post around $10,000 — $16,000 USD per guard post/month.
Priced like standard guard posts, typically weighted to nights/weekends when theft risk peaks. Many sites combine a night post with mobile patrol or camera monitoring to cut cost.

Before you hire
Construction sites lose an estimated $300M–$1B a year to theft, and an injured trespasser can be a bigger risk than the loss. Here's how to protect a site — guards, patrol, cameras — what it costs, and the attractive-nuisance liability you can't ignore.
Read the construction site security buyer's guidePrivate security in Florida is licensed at the state level by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Licensing. A legitimate company operating in Lakeland holds a Class “B” Security Agency license, which means it has cleared FDACS'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 Florida, operating without a license is first-degree misdemeanor (first offense), escalating to a third-degree felony for a second or subsequent offense (Fla. Stat. § 493.6120). A first violation of Florida's private-security licensing law (operating or being employed as an unlicensed Class B agency or officer) is a first-degree misdemeanor; a second or subsequent violation is a third-degree felony, and FDACS may also seek a civil penalty of up to $10,000, with anyone convicted of a chapter 493 violation ineligible for licensure for five years.
Lakeland scores 70/100 on our Crime Index (grade C), which makes it safer than 45% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 127,935.
