AmeriGuard Security Services Inc (OTC: AGSS) is a physical security company that provides guard services, patrol services, and remote camera monitoring to commercial and federal government clients. Revenue comes from service contracts priced on a per-hour or per-post basis, with federal contracts structured so that labor cost increases flow through directly to billing rates, while commercial contracts receive annual rate adjustments each February. The company operates two primary subsidiaries: AGS (AmeriGuard Security), the guard and patrol operation, and TUS (TransportUS), a transport services unit. AGS reported approximately $17 million in annual revenue as of the FY2024 10-K filing, placing it in the $15 million to $20 million revenue band of the U.S. security guard industry, which comprises over 11,000 companies and roughly 900,000 officers. The company is headquartered in Fresno, California, at 5470 W Spruce Ave, Suite 102. As of December 31, 2024, AGSS employed 318 total staff: 6 administrative, 240 at AGS (172 covered by collective bargaining agreements), and 72 at TUS.
