Estimated range per LP officer post/month in Clarksville:
$6,600 — $11,000 USD
That puts Clarksville about 12% 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 Clarksville that puts an armed post around $8,900 — $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 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 Clarksville 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.
