To request security services for an upcoming event, please submit a request form: 

 Submit Security Request Form

To allow for proper staffing, smaller events requesting less than 5 hosts must be submitted at least 2 weeks in advance. Requests for larger events or multi-day events, must be submitted at least 4 weeks in advance. We cannot guarantee security staffing for requests that are submitted less than 2-4 weeks in advance.

If you do not receive a follow up or confirmation email within 3 business days of submitting a request, please email [email protected]. General questions regarding event security not addressed in our FAQ section below can also be sent to [email protected].

Security Service Rates

Effective July 1, 2022

Minimum staffing for events begins at 2 Aggie Hosts. Final staffing numbers for an event request will be determined by the Security Manager. The final number of security personnel will be determined by various criteria; including the size, scope, location, and topic of your event. Many events will require an Aggie Host Security Supervisor(s) be present. In some cases, additional security personnel beyond Aggie Hosts may be required, including sworn law enforcement personnel. Events creating large amounts of traffic or congestion may require personnel dedicated to traffic control.

Cancellations made within 72 hours of an event incur a 2 hour charge, within 48 hours incur a 50% charge (or 2 hours, whichever is greater), and within 24 hours incur a 75% charge (or 2 hours, whichever is greater). Cancellations made once on site for an event will incur a full charge for the scheduled service. 

Frequently Asked Questions

• I forgot to submit a security request form in advance, what can I do?
• Please submit your request form as soon as possible. Though we cannot guarantee full staffing, depending on the details of your event, we may be able to provide partial staffing or offer staffing by a higher level group within the Police Department.
• What if there are changes to my event after I have submitted a security request form?
• Please utilize the confirmation email chain associated with your request to provide any updates or changes that are taking place.
• What special considerations should I include in my security request form?
• If you answered "Yes" or "Hold" to any of the questions in your request, please provide elaborating details to help us better understand your event. If you have any specific or unique tasks that you are looking to have Aggie Hosts complete, please include those here as well.
• What do I do if my event was cancelled?
• Please utilize the confirmation email chain associated with your request to let us know that your event has been cancelled. Please be sure to view our cancellation policy listed above.
• How do I get an estimate for an event?
• Please fill out the security request form and submit to the provided email asking for an estimate specifically. We will need the details in the request form in order to create an estimate for the services. Please note that estimates are subject to change and may not accurately reflect day of charges.
• Can I get an invoice for the event directly after?
• Unfortunately, all billing is completed by our finance department. We are unable to provide invoices on the spot for events.
• When will the event be billed?
• Events are typically billed roughly two weeks after the event has concluded. Events will be billed to the CoA string provided on the security request form.
• What is a CoA string? Where do I get one?
• A CoA string is the billing number for your department/program. If you are part of a campus organization, please reach out to CSI for assistance in determining your CoA string. Campus Departments will need to reach out to their finance teams if their CoA is unknown. We are unable to add an event to our schedule until we have received your CoA string.
• What if I need security at the UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento or Aggie Square?
• At this time, we only provide security to the Davis Campus Community. Please contact DaMarlon McKneely at [email protected] to arrange security at the Medical Center or Aggie Square locations.
