How much do Security Guards Make

Security Guard Jobs Offer Security

Getting a job in the security field not only protects companies and people, it can offer you a secure future. We’re often asked how to become a Security Guard and how much Security Guards make. That’s why we’ve decided to answer both questions below.

How much do Security Guards Make?

It varies depending on the type of position. Though a guard without experience may earn minimum wage to start, (around $14/hour) those with more experience can earn more. It is common for Supervisors, Site Managers and Mobile Patrol Guards to earn $17 – $25 per hour.

It also varies depending on the hiring company and type of position. Guards can be hired for events, malls, office and residential buildings and more. Glassdoor.ca offers reliable company information from those in the industry, to give you a basic idea of the types of jobs available and how much money you can make as a security guard with different companies.
