When risk is high and visible authority matters, deploy off-duty police officers (ODPOs) across Los Angeles. National Protective Service provides agency-authorized, vetted, and armed off-duty law-enforcement personnel for stores, banks, luxury retail, cannabis facilities, corporate sites, events, and executive movements—from Downtown LA to the Westside, the Valley, South Bay, and Long Beach.
We build your program around policy and compliance: coordination with the officer’s home agency requirements, venue rules, and California law; clear post orders; reportable documentation; and professional supervision. Whether you need a single officer for store close, or a multi-post deployment for a high-profile event, we deliver discreet control with decisive response.
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.
Active or recently retired sworn officers, verified and authorized for secondary employment per agency policy. Armed coverage is standard (duty sidearm); specialty equipment by request and where permitted.
Uniformed details (when approved by the agency/venue) for maximum deterrence, or plainclothes officers for discreet protection and investigations.
Robbery and burglary deterrence, violent-incident response, high-value escorts, cash handling, ORC intervention, terminations/workplace safety, and threat management.
