What can security guards help with?
Start with the responsibilities your property needs covered.
A visible security presence
Uniformed officers provide a recognizable presence at a property, entrance, or designated post.
Access and property checks
Discuss restricted access, standing posts, foot patrols, and secure lock-up services for your location.
Armed or unarmed coverage
Choose the appropriate level of protection based on the assignment, risk, and budget.
People and event protection
Explore escorts, plainclothes officers, off-duty police, and executive protection for specialized needs.
Is on-site guard coverage right for you?
A good starting point when you need:
- A dedicated person at an entrance or assigned post
- A visible presence during business hours or after hours
- Temporary coverage for an event or short assignment
- Ongoing support for a residential or commercial property
Consider another coverage approach when:
You need scheduled property visits rather than an officer stationed on site. Ask about patrol service and discuss the level of coverage your location requires.
Match the coverage to the assignment
Use these starting points to discuss your needs. The appropriate staffing and service depend on the location and assignment.
Unarmed security
Discuss visible on-site coverage, access duties, and routine property responsibilities where armed protection is not required.
Armed security
Discuss assignments that may require armed protection. The choice should reflect the actual security needs of the property or person.
Specialized protection
Ask about off-duty police officers, executive protection, plainclothes officers, and escorts for more specialized assignments.
| Your decision | What to discuss |
|---|---|

| What affects the quote? | Location, schedule, service type, and the specific security duties. |

Security Guards are Available to Meet Your Security Needs, Short- or Long-Term.
Southwest Patrol's security guards have proudly served commercial and residential communities for over 25 years. We cover all of California, including Los Angeles, Long Beach, South Bay, Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino, Oakland, East Bay, and San Diego. We have our own call center with 24/7 dispatch. Our security guards are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. We are fully insured and bonded. We offer armed and unarmed security guards, as well as off-duty police protection. We have you covered, no matter what type of security you need to hire. However, before hiring security guard services, you may want to consider a few key factors, such as the level of protection you need, how often you need protection, and what you need to protect. The level of protection will depend on your needs and preferences.
Our security officers must pass an extensive background check, be trained, and be certified in their respective fields. A security guard is primarily focused on preventing crimes and deterring them. Our security guard will protect both individuals and property. Security service needs evolve over time, and it's imperative to work with a professional security company to meet your specific requirements. With Southwest Patrol, no problem is too big or small. We're dedicated to 100 percent client satisfaction. Southwest Patrol offers competitive pricing and will customize a strategic security plan that best fits your security needs. Southwest Patrol management staff have over 50 years of experience; our security officers are certified, and some even have military backgrounds. Southwest Patrol clients have trusted us with their home, personal, industrial, construction, and business security needs since 1994.
Uniformed Security Guards
Southwest Patrol provides uniformed security officers or plainclothes security officers. Southwest Patrol handles personal, business, VIP, industrial, construction, and other security needs. Our security officers conduct themselves professionally. Our security officers can serve you for as little as a few hours, so if you need a security guard for a one-time court date, you can now hire us! On the other hand, if you need ongoing security, we are happy to provide it. Your safety is in the right hands with our courteous, presentable, and properly trained security officers. Southwest Patrol employs security officers with special skills and experiences to meet your protection and security requirements. The exact security level you hire should align with your security goals and budget. Hiring the most trained, experienced guards does cost more, as the most prepared are off-duty police officers who have undergone the most extensive training and background checks. The same goes for hiring an unarmed guard; the price is lower than that of an armed guard. Look at your security situation and hire accordingly. Our staff will suggest the security that best fits your needs. Unfortunately, crime rates are rising in Southern California, and we're here to proudly serve and protect you as we have since 1994.
Executive Protection available Worldwide
Southwest Patrol's executive protection division provides services to clients worldwide. We have a travel concierge who can arrange all travel services, including private jets, yachts, and car services. Southwest Patrol can access any vehicle, from exotic cars to bulletproof Rolls-Royces. We have provided executive protection for numerous high-profile celebrities, professional athletes, and politicians. Our private protection services can be for special events or ongoing engagements.
