Construction security guards at a San Francisco jobsite gate

Construction Site Security in Los Angeles

Protect your job site, materials, and schedule with construction site security that’s proactive, professional, and built for L.A.

National Protective Service provides BSIS-licensed guards who understand the realities of Los Angeles builds—from downtown high-rises to Westside tenant improvements and South Bay industrial projects.

We deploy armed or unarmed coverage tailored to your scope: perimeter and gate control, delivery and subcontractor access, hot work fire watch, copper and tool-theft prevention, crane and laydown yard watch, after-hours patrols, and rapid incident response.

Our supervisors create site-specific post orders, align with GC safety plans and Cal/OSHA requirements, and coordinate with LAPD and LAFD as needed.

Whether you need a single guard overnight or a full, multi-gate program across phases, we keep your project secure and 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.

Why choose us?

Licensed, BSIS-Certified Officers

Every guard is California BSIS-licensed and trained in construction-site best practices (post orders, incident reporting, visitor/vendor control, fire watch). Supervisors conduct regular check-ins to ensure quality.

Armed or Unarmed Coverage for Any Site

Match the posture to your risk—high-value targets (copper, fuel, heavy equipment) and remote yards often merit armed presence; lower-risk TI floors or controlled access projects typically use unarmed officers. We’ll calibrate to your safety plan.

24/7 Staffing & Mobile Patrols

Round-the-clock coverage for nights, weekends, and holidays. Mobile patrol units provide randomized checks for large or multi-parcel sites; foot and vehicle patrols deter trespass and identify hazards early.

Customized Security Strategies

We write site-specific post orders: gate logs and badge checks, subcontractor verification, escort for deliveries and crane picks, tool crib controls, fence-line and lighting checks, storm prep, and lock-up.

Technology-enabled workflows

GPS patrol verification, camera/trailer integration, and license-plate logging.

Proven track record in L.A.

Experience across DTLA, Hollywood, Westside, San Fernando Valley, South Bay, and the Port of L.A.—including open sites with public adjacency, high-theft corridors, and mixed-use builds with active tenants.

Armed Construction Site Security Services

Choose armed coverage for jobs with elevated risk: remote or poorly lit yards, high-value metals, fuel stores, repeated trespass, or prior incidents. Duties commonly include:

  • Gate and perimeter control, ID/badge checks, visitor/vendor logging 
  • Theft deterrence for copper, tools, wire reels, generators, fuel bowsers 
  • Escort for cash/asset moves and after-hours deliveries 
  • Incident containment, evidence preservation, and coordination with the LAPD 
  • Rapid response to alarms, break-ins, and motion/thermal camera alerts 
  • Detailed Daily Activity Reports (DARs) with photos and time stamps

Unarmed Construction Site Security Services

Ideal for controlled sites or daytime operations with active crews and access systems. Duties commonly include: 

  • Reception/welcome desk at site office; visitor badges & vendor check-in 
  • Subcontractor verification against roster; turnstile or badge monitoring 
  • Hot work and impairment watch, housekeeping and safety observations 
  • Patrols of stair towers, mechanical floors, crane base, and laydown area 
  • Lock/unlock routines, fence and lighting checks, and tool-crib oversight 
  • Hazard escalation to GC/CM; clear, professional communication with foremen
