Commercial Security Services in Los Angeles

At National Protective Service, we protect Los Angeles businesses with professional, proactive commercial security. From Class-A offices and retail centers to warehouses, film/TV facilities, and mixed-use properties, our BSIS-licensed officers deliver reliable on-site coverage and mobile patrols tailored to your site’s risks. 

We design guard programs that deter theft, prevent vandalism, and keep daily operations running smoothly. Because Los Angeles operates around the clock, our teams do too—supporting Downtown LA, Hollywood, West LA, the Valley, South Bay, and the San Gabriel/San Fernando corridors. 

Whether you need an armed deterrent, unarmed lobby ambassadors, after-hours patrols, or fast alarm response, we build a right-sized plan with measurable KPIs and detailed reporting.

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.

Armed Commercial Security Services

Choose armed commercial security in Los Angeles when your risk profile demands a higher level of deterrence and rapid intervention. 

Armed officers conduct perimeter checks, vehicle/foot patrols, dock and gate control, alarm response, and after-hours monitoring. Typical deployments include distribution centers, cash-handling sites, luxury retail, executive offices, and sensitive operations. 

Our armed teams follow strict BSIS and range-qualification standards and coordinate with property management and law enforcement as needed. Post orders can include screening and bag checks, loading-dock control, access audits, and incident command procedures. 

You get strong, visible deterrence plus detailed, court-ready documentation for every shift.

Unarmed Commercial Security Services

Unarmed commercial security is ideal for most Los Angeles properties seeking a polished, service-forward presence. 

Officers staff front desks and reception, manage visitors and vendors, escort employees, and keep lobbies and elevators secure. 

On patrol, they monitor interiors and parking areas, deter loitering, and address safety hazards. 

Training emphasizes verbal de-escalation, conflict prevention, customer care, and clear communications. 

Programs can include retail loss-prevention support, parking/garage patrols, tenant assistance, incident reporting, and mobile patrols for multi-building campuses—professional appearance and reliable communication included.
