Determining Security Service Rates

​​

Executive Special Service offers a range of security services at competitive rates. To determine the best rate for your specific needs, please consider the following factors:

​

  • Service Type: The type of service you require will significantly impact the cost. Unarmed services are generally less expensive than armed services, and vehicle patrols are more expensive than stationary guard posts.

  • Duration: The length of time you need security services will also affect the price. Longer engagements typically result in lower hourly rates.

  • Urgency: If you need services on short notice, there may be an additional surcharge.

  • Complexity: The complexity of your security needs, such as the size of the area to be protected or the number of individuals involved, can also influence the cost.

  • Location: The location of your property or event may impact the rates, especially if travel is involved.

  • ​

For government, civilian, and NGO clients, we offer customized rates based on your specific requirements and budget. Please contact us for a free consultation to discuss your needs and receive a personalized quote.

​

Additional Considerations:

  • Discounts: We offer discounts for long-term contracts and volume orders.

  • Payment Terms: We offer flexible payment terms, including upfront payments or monthly installments.

  • Insurance: We are fully insured and can provide proof of insurance upon request.

We are committed to providing our clients with the highest quality security services at a fair and competitive price. Please contact us today for a free consultation and quote.

2025 INTELLIGENCE  GATHERING RATES

​

Intelligence Gathering vs. Investigations

 

Intelligence Collection is the systematic gathering of information to understand a particular subject or threat. It involves identifying relevant sources, collecting data, and analyzing it to form an informed assessment. This process is often proactive, seeking information to anticipate future events or trends.

Investigation is a reactive process focused on a specific incident or crime. It involves gathering evidence to determine what happened, who was involved, and why. Investigators often use legal tools and procedures to collect information and build a case.

Key Differences:

  • Focus: Intelligence collection is broad, while investigation is specific.

  • Timing: Intelligence collection is proactive, while investigation is reactive.

  • Goal: Intelligence collection aims to understand, while investigation aims to solve.

  • Methods: Intelligence collection uses a variety of sources (human, technical, open-source), while investigation often relies on interviews, surveillance, and forensic analysis.

In essence, intelligence collection provides the raw material, while investigation uses that material to construct a specific narrative or solution.
