Deliver safe, seamless events with security that understands Los Angeles venues, permits, and crowd dynamics.
National Protective Service provides BSIS-licensed event security officers for concerts, red-carpet premieres, festivals, conferences, athletic events, and private functions across L.A.—from downtown venues and LA Live to Westside hotels, studios, and outdoor spaces.
We tailor staffing to your site plan and AHJ requirements: access control and ticket lines, bag checks, credentialed back-of-house, VIP escorts, stage and barricade lines, alcohol compliance, and rapid incident response.
Our supervisors develop post orders, brief your team, and coordinate with LAPD, LAFD, LA County Fire, venue management, and EMS. Whether you need a small private detail or a multi-zone deployment, we help your show start on time and end safely.
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.
All officers are California BSIS-licensed and trained in guest service, de-escalation, crowd psychology, radio etiquette, and incident reporting. Supervisors perform scheduled checks and adjust staffing live.
