Where the money goes
Market rate, paid in days
On most off-duty jobs a guard firm sits between the business and you and bills more than you are paid. It seems like you are already doing the work without getting paid what it is worth, and officers work that out; nationally 40% to 50% of off-duty posts go unfilled.
On illuno there is no middleman. You are insured on the post and paid within days of the shift.
$75 to $95+
Typical pay per hour on recent shifts, some higher. Tracks local market conditions. The rate is shown before you accept, and what you see is what you are paid.
National median wage for a security guard: $18.29 an hour (Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025). Different job, different number.
What illuno is
The shifts are posted on illuno
illuno is an off-duty officer staffing platform; signing up takes you to illuno's site. I run the commercial side and I am not an owner. The businesses posting the work pay for the platform. You keep what you accept.
Where you can work
More than your department's detail list
You see work posted by businesses beyond your own agency, across your state, wherever illuno is live. More posts, more choice over which are worth your time.
Subject to your chief or sheriff approving it, and to your state's rules on off-duty work.
