How a Short-Notice Request Works
- Call 24/7 dispatch at (818) 301-8883, or request a quote online and our team will call you.
- Our team reviews the location, duties, hours and any requirements you describe.
- Availability and a start time are confirmed with you by phone for that specific assignment.
- Pricing is discussed in the same conversation. Assertive does not publish rates or automated estimates.
- No long-term commitment is required.
What to Have Ready When You Call
| Information | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| Site address and property type | Location and site type shape who can be assigned and how. |
| When coverage should begin and end | Dates, shift hours and expected duration set the staffing needed. |
| Armed or unarmed | Armed assignments require additional BSIS permits and training. |
| Standing post or patrol | A continuously staffed post and periodic patrol checks are different arrangements. |
| Duties | Access control, patrol rounds, logs or reporting define the work. |
| What prompted the request | For example an alarm or sprinkler outage, a vacancy, an event or a security concern. |
| Requirements from others | Instructions from a fire authority, insurer, property owner or general contractor. |
| On-site contact | A name and phone number for the person who will meet the officer. |
How Availability and Start Time Are Confirmed
Start times are not promised before the request is reviewed. Our team confirms availability and when coverage can begin directly with you, based on the location, duties and requirements of the assignment.
If details change after the call, such as hours, duties or the site contact, tell dispatch so the assignment can be updated.
If a Fire Watch Is Involved
Whether a fire watch is required, and what it must include, is decided by the local fire authority having jurisdiction, not by Assertive. Confirm the requirements with that authority and share them when you call.
The Fire Watch Guide explains who sets requirements in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties and includes a sample log sheet.
