Estimated range per LP officer post/month in Springfield:
$6,800 — $11,000 USD
That puts Springfield about 9% below the US national range ($7,500 — $12,500) — 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 Springfield that puts an armed post around $9,200 — $15,000 USD per LP officer post/month.
Plainclothes or uniformed loss-prevention officer covering a 12h daily post, billed roughly $20–$35/hr. Many retailers pair a uniformed entrance post with plainclothes coverage; multi-tenant centers may share patrol to lower per-store cost.

Read the loss prevention & retail security buyer's guidePrivate security in Illinois is licensed at the state level by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). A legitimate company operating in Springfield 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.
Springfield scores 22/100 on our Crime Index (grade F), which makes it safer than 3% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 112,595.
