Who hires off-duty police through MTC Group
Every buyer who pays for a post. Here is yours.
Not on the list? If you pay for a post, bring me the post. Thirty minutes tells you whether the math works.
The difference
A sworn officer, not a guard
Arrest authority, state-standard training and certification, and dispatch and responding units behind them. Routine patrol is not a presence on your site; a post is. The first call works out which of your posts need one.
Why these posts fill
Market rate to the officer, paid in one to three days
An empty post is coverage you paid for and did not get.
Through illuno the officer is paid market rate, insured on the post, and paid within one to three days of the shift. That is why the posts fill.
The money
What off-duty police officers cost, and what the difference buys
On the posts worth converting, a sworn officer through illuno costs less than the guard contract it replaces.
The officer is paid market rate, set with a local coordinator and checked against market data. illuno's flat fee sits on top and covers the insurance on the post; nothing comes out of the officer's end. Rates vary by jurisdiction and post, so I quote against your sites.
You are not trying to spend less on security. You are trying to get more out of the budget you already defend. Hold the line, change what stands on the post, and put the difference into the layers you were told you could not afford: cameras, monitoring, access control.
47%
Less spent on guards at SAIA, across the enterprise, every location. That saving came from security integration: automation, technology and AI in place of physical guard posts. The posts that still needed a person got a sworn officer. Same budget logic here.
The hours
Get your day back
Scheduling, call-offs, timekeeping, payroll, invoicing and reporting move off your people.
The relationship
Who you deal with
Me, as your commercial contact, from the first test shift through invoicing and reporting. Your existing coordinator comes onto the platform, or one is assigned to your account. Fill and escalation run through illuno operations with that coordinator, so coverage does not depend on one person being reachable.

Officers verify their status through ID.me, which has verified more than 500,000 law enforcement officers nationwide. illuno is scaling city by city across all 50 states, drawing on one of the largest pools of available off-duty officers in the country.
