Nevada security guard software
for private patrol companies licensed by the PILB
CGuardPro is security guard management software for Nevada private patrol companies: scheduling and relief coverage, GPS and selfie clock-in, QR and NFC guard tours, incident reports, push-to-talk radio, work card and firearms-qualification tracking and a client portal, with guard, supervisor and client apps for iOS and Android. It costs $5 per user per month with a 7-day free trial. The Private Investigators Licensing Board licenses your company; the software keeps the records behind every work card.
What running guards in Nevada actually involves
A “private patrol” license, from the PILB
Nevada does not license a “security company” as such. A guard company holds a private patrol officer license from the Private Investigators Licensing Board under NRS chapter 648, the same board that licenses investigators and process servers.
A qualifying agent with 10,000 hours
The license is issued on the qualifications of a person: five years, or 10,000 hours, of private patrol experience certified by employers, plus a Board exam passed at 75%. Exams run quarterly, so one missed window costs three months.
Work cards for every employee
Each employee doing regulated work is registered with the Board through a work card. After the initial background check an applicant reaches provisional status and can work for a licensee, carrying the provisional document on every shift.
Armed: requalify every six months
An armed work card needs a permanent work card first, then eight hours of firearms training, at least five hours on a range and a 75% exam. Armed officers requalify every six months in the months shown on their card, or the card stops covering a firearm at work.
June 30, every company, every year
Under NRS 648.144, every license and pocket card in the state expires on June 30 unless renewed. The license number also has to appear in every advertisement, proposals and vehicles included.
Daily overtime under $18 an hour
Nevada’s Labor Commissioner requires time and a half after 8 hours in a 24-hour period for employees paid less than one and a half times the minimum wage, $18.00 an hour since July 2024, as well as after 40 in a week. Officer pay often sits right around that line.
The Strip, conventions and events
Casinos, resorts, arenas and convention halls in Las Vegas run around the clock, with event surges that can double the headcount for a weekend and incident reports that hotel risk teams read line by line.
Reno, logistics and remote sites
The industrial parks east of Reno and Sparks, data centers, mines and solar sites across rural Nevada put officers on large, remote perimeters where a geofence and a timed tour are the evidence of coverage.

Nevada questions, answered plainly
What license does a Nevada guard company need? +
A private patrol officer license from the Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Board, under NRS chapter 648. The license is issued on the qualifications of a qualifying agent with at least 10,000 hours of private patrol experience who passes the Board’s exam, and the company must carry liability insurance of at least $200,000. Confirm current requirements with the PILB.
When do Nevada licenses and work cards renew? +
Under NRS 648.144, licenses and the pocket cards issued with them expire on June 30 of each year unless renewed. Armed officers also requalify with their firearm every six months, in the months shown on their card.
Does CGuardPro calculate Nevada daily overtime? +
No. Nevada requires time and a half after 8 hours in a 24-hour period for employees paid under $18.00 an hour, per the Labor Commissioner’s current bulletin. CGuardPro tracks hours against a weekly threshold and shows every shift’s length, so a scheduler can spot a long shift; applying the daily rule is a payroll decision.
Can we staff a convention weekend on top of our regular posts? +
Yes. Create the event posts, assign extra officers with their own post orders, and they clock in at the venue with GPS and a selfie. When the event ends, the posts close and the incident reports stay on the client’s record.
How is it priced? +
It is $5 per user per month, one plan with every feature, plus an optional one-time implementation package of $299.99. A user is anyone with a login, including client logins. There is a 7-day free trial.
