Residential security officers greeting residents at a San Francisco condo lobby

Residential Security in Los Angeles

Protect your home, family, and community with residential security designed for Los Angeles neighborhoods. National Protective Service provides BSIS-licensed guards for luxury estates, gated communities, HOAs, apartments/condos, and residential developments—covering lobby/concierge posts, access control, parking and amenity monitoring, patrols, and rapid incident response.

We tailor staffing and technology to your lifestyle and property rules: discreet estate details for high-profile residents, uniformed lobby officers for condo towers, and roving vehicle patrols for HOAs. Supervisors create site-specific post orders, align with community bylaws and property-management policies, and coordinate with LAPD/LASD and building teams when needed.

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?

California BSIS-licensed guards with training in residential policies, guest service, de-escalation, and incident reporting. Regular supervisor check-ins ensure quality.

Armed or Unarmed—Matched to Risk

From discreet unarmed lobby/concierge coverage to armed estate posts and special patrols when risk is elevated or requested by ownership.

Concierge, Lobby & Gatehouse Expertise

Doorman/concierge services, visitor and vendor check-in, package room oversight, elevator control, loading dock coordination, and amenity monitoring.

Vehicle & Foot Patrols (24/7)

Roving marked patrols and foot rounds deter trespass, theft, vandalism, and nuisance activity. Randomized routes with GPS-verified checkpoints.

Low-profile operations, NDA on request, and respectful engagement with residents and guests—safety without disrupting daily life.

Proven Across L.A.

Experience in DTLA towers, Hollywood Hills estates, Westside condos, Valley HOAs, South Bay beach communities, and Long Beach neighborhoods.

Armed Residential Security Services

For communities with higher risk—recent incidents, high-value residences, or sensitive garages—armed officers provide elevated deterrence and faster escalation control. 

Our armed team maintains a discreet, neighbor-friendly presence while operating under strict BSIS compliance and use-of-force policies. Typical posts include evening lobby presence, garage/parking coverage, targeted weekend patrols, and special event periods. 

Choose armed coverage for high-risk residences or when requested by ownership. Typical duties:

  • Estate gates and perimeter posts; overnight watch
  • Secure arrivals/departures and protective escorts
  • Directed patrols for high-value vehicles and garages
  • Alarm/duress response and incident containment
  • Liaison with LAPD/LASD and private EP teams where appropriate

Unarmed Residential Security (Concierge & Patrol)

Unarmed officers deliver the polished, service-first presence most communities prefer.

At the front desk, they welcome residents, verify guests, manage keys and badges, issue visitor and vendor passes, monitor cameras, and oversee amenity rooms. Rover patrols walk interiors and exteriors, check doors and stairwells, sweep garages, and document hazards for maintenance.

Officers also help manage package rooms, deter porch piracy, support short-term rental policy enforcement, and keep move-in/move-out operations orderly.

Training emphasizes verbal de-escalation, cultural sensitivity, ADA-aware service, and accurate documentation. Expect consistent communication with property management and photo-rich incident reports that drive accountability.

Ideal for most HOAs, condos, and apartment communities.

Typical duties:

  • Lobby/concierge, visitor & vendor management, access badges
  • Package room/parcel theft deterrence; delivery coordination
  • Foot/vehicle patrols, garage and parking policy checks
  • Amenity oversight (pool, gym, rooftop), noise and house-rule reminders
  • Alarm response, welfare checks, vacation watch & secure lock-ups
  • Incident documentation with clear, photo-supported reports
