Estimated range per guard post/month in Knoxville:
$7,200 — $12,000 USD
That puts Knoxville about 10% 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 Knoxville that puts an armed post around $9,700 — $16,000 USD per guard post/month.
Warehouse/industrial posts price like standard guard posts. Gate control, dock coverage and 24/7 operations define how many posts a facility needs.

Before you hire
Cargo theft hit an estimated $725M in 2025, and thieves are back to stealing whole trailers from yards. Here's how to secure a warehouse or distribution center — access control, patrol, cameras, LPR — and what it costs.
Read the warehouse & industrial security buyer's guidePrivate security in Tennessee is licensed at the state level by the the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, Private Protective Services program. A legitimate company operating in Knoxville holds a Contract Security Company license, which means it has cleared Tennessee PPS'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 Tennessee, operating without a license is misdemeanor (plus civil penalty) (Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-35-136 (general penalty, Class A misdemeanor); § 62-35-130 (civil penalty up to $2,000 per occurrence); § 62-35-134 (unlawful employments/activities)). Operating a contract or proprietary security company, or working as a guard, without a currently valid PPS license/registration is a Class A misdemeanor, and the Commissioner may separately assess a civil penalty of up to $2,000 per occurrence against the unlicensed operator.
Knoxville scores 48/100 on our Crime Index (grade D), which makes it safer than 14% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 200,645.
