What a post looks like depends on the property and its hours. A lobby desk in a downtown tower, a suburban office park and a distribution building each keep different company after dark.

Why buyers stay with Nexus Security Firm
A licensed agency and the number to check it with
Nexus Security Firm holds FDACS Class B agency license B 1900066, which authorizes guard work anywhere in Florida under Chapter 493. Officers carry their own Class D license and armed officers add a Class G. All of it is public record on the FDACS license lookup, so the agency and the officer at your door can both be checked before a contract is signed. Our scope is people: staffed posts, patrol, access control desks and incident documentation. Installing, servicing, designing or remotely monitoring alarm, camera and access control equipment sits under a separate Florida certification that a guard agency license does not carry.

A supervisor is assigned to every post and attends it
Every post has a supervisor on the account who visits the site, including on the overnight rotation. The complaint buyers repeat about security vendors is that nobody can say who supervises the officer, how an incident reaches the client, or what happens when someone calls out an hour before shift. With industry turnover at 77% in 2024 (ASIS International), familiarity with a site is something an agency has to build deliberately. Incidents at your property are documented and the documentation comes to you, so a tenant complaint raised six weeks later has a record behind it.

You see what the rate is built from
Officer wages in Florida run about $14 to $18 an hour unarmed and $18 to $26 armed (ZipRecruiter, Salary.com and Indeed, August 2026), and a bill rate is built on top of that at 1.5x to 2x the wage (Belfry Software, 2026). That puts defensible Central Florida rates around $24 to $34 unarmed and $32 to $46 armed. Lowest bid decides who ends up standing at your gate, and the trade is candid about what a floor rate buys. We quote the post the property needs, show what moved the number, and say when fewer staffed hours would serve you better.
