What Melbourne asks of a post
Airspace. Melbourne Orlando International sits inside the city, and its controlled airspace covers a meaningful share of the commercial corridor. Any drone work here needs LAANC authorization before launch, and some parcels will not clear at all. We check the grid before we quote aerial coverage, not after.
Storm season. South Brevard takes the same June-to-November exposure as the rest of the county, and Melbourne's inland reach means wind damage and extended outages more often than surge. Fire watch demand spikes during outages because sprinkler and alarm systems go down with the power.
The corridor. The US-1 and I-95 spine carries most of the city's construction and light-industrial activity. Sites along it are exposed on long, unlit frontages, which is a different post design than a walled parcel.
Venues. Melbourne has a real events calendar, and the King Center is in this city. Event posts here are staffed from the same roster that covers our longest-running contract, which is the practical reason our lead times in south Brevard are what they are.

Melbourne questions
Before you call
Are you actually based in Melbourne?
No, and we would rather say so. Our office is at 137 S Courtenay Pkwy on Merritt Island, about 25 miles north. Officers assigned to south Brevard posts are scheduled from that roster. If an agency claims a Melbourne street address, ask whether it is an office or a mailbox.
How fast can you put an officer on a Melbourne property?
Standard lead time is 72 hours for a scheduled post. Same-day callout is often possible for one to three officers but depends on the live roster, which is why it is confirmed by phone rather than through a form.
Do you need a separate license to work in Melbourne?
No. Florida licenses security agencies at the state level, so agency license B-1500005 covers Melbourne, Brevard County, and the rest of the state. Individual officers carry their own Class D or Class G licenses regardless of the city they are posted in.
Can you fly drones over a Melbourne property?
Sometimes. Melbourne Orlando International's controlled airspace covers a large part of the city, so aerial work requires LAANC authorization and some locations will not be approved. Florida's drone privacy statute also restricts surveillance of private property without consent. We resolve both before quoting.
