Protect your people, property, and brand with commercial security that’s equal parts professional and proactive.
At National Protective Service, our BSIS-licensed officers secure San Francisco office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, hotels, and mixed-use properties with a calm, service-forward presence.
We tailor armed or unarmed coverage to your risk profile—front-desk/concierge posts, lobby and garage patrols, loading dock control, alarm response, and after-hours mobile patrols.
Site-specific post orders keep operations smooth, while supervisors conduct unannounced audits and deliver photo-rich reports.
Whether you need a single lobby ambassador or a multi-site program across the city, we’ll design a plan that fits your budget and keeps business moving.
Our officers are fully licensed by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), trained according to industry standards set by ASIS International, and work in close coordination with the Local Police Department to ensure rapid response and community safety. Whether you require threat deterrence, emergency response, or asset protection, our team delivers professional, discreet, and reliable security solutions tailored to your needs.
Every guard is California BSIS–licensed and trained in customer service, de-escalation, CPR/First Aid, and emergency procedures to protect your commercial property professionally.
Choose the posture that fits your site—white-glove lobby presence or higher deterrence for higher-risk locations—always aligned with your brand and policies.
Round-the-clock coverage for days, nights, weekends, and holidays, with mobile patrol units available for alarm response, lock-up/open-up, and garage/lot sweeps.
We write site-specific post orders, visitor and delivery workflows, and escalation paths—then review KPIs with you to keep operations smooth.
Trusted by offices, retail centers, hotels, industrial parks, and parking facilities citywide—including the Financial District, SOMA, Mission Bay, and beyond.
Choose armed commercial security when deterrence and rapid escalation control are critical—financial institutions, high-value retail, sensitive corporate sites, or locations with prior incidents. Our armed officers maintain a composed, customer-appropriate demeanor while delivering the readiness your environment demands. Each guard holds current BSIS credentials, completes firearms proficiency and judgment training, and operates under strict use-of-force policies. We’ll help you decide where armed coverage is most effective: lobby posts during evening hours, cash-handling escorts, garage patrols, or targeted weekends. Post orders typically include access screening, incident containment, alarm response, and coordination with SFPD or building management. You get visible deterrence that protects operations without disrupting the tenant or shopper experience.
Quick duties: access screening and badge checks; high-value area watch; alarm/break-in response; bank or cash escort; detailed incident reporting.
Unarmed officers are ideal for most commercial properties seeking a polished, service-first presence. Our team staffs front desks and reception areas, welcomes visitors, verifies credentials, issues badges, and keeps lobbies and elevators orderly. Officers conduct interior and exterior patrols, monitor cameras, manage loading docks, and document issues with photos for clear follow-through. Training emphasizes verbal de-escalation, conflict prevention, customer care, and safety awareness. Programs can include retail loss-prevention support, parking/garage patrols, and after-hours mobile rounds. Expect consistent coverage, professional appearance, and reliable communication with your facilities and security leadership.
Quick duties: lobby/concierge posts, access control, CCTV monitoring, dock/garage patrols, tenant assistance, incident reporting, mobile patrols.
