Marked security vehicle conducting a mobile patrol in a San Francisco parking lot

Vehicle Patrol in Los Angeles

Deter crime, reduce nuisance activity, and respond fast with high-visibility security vehicle patrols across Los Angeles. National Protective Service deploys BSIS-licensed officers in marked patrol vehicles for HOAs, luxury estates, business parks, shopping centers, construction sites, warehouses, campuses, and mixed-use properties. 

Our mobile patrols combine randomized routes with targeted hotspot checks, lock-up/open-up routines, parking oversight, and alarm/duress response. Supervisors create site-specific patrol plans, align with your property rules and post orders, and coordinate with LAPD/LASD and building management when needed. You’ll receive GPS-verified reports with photos so you can see results in real time.

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, Patrol-Trained Officers

All officers are California BSIS-licensed, trained in patrol tactics, radio etiquette, observations, de-escalation, and professional reporting.

Marked Vehicles & High Visibility

Clean, well-lit patrol vehicles deliver strong deterrence and quick coverage of multi-acre properties, garages, and surrounding streets.

Randomized Routes + Directed Patrols

We blend unpredictable passes with scheduled checks of entries, docks, alleys, stair towers, rooftops, garages, and other risk areas.

Alarm & Incident Response

First-on-scene response to alarms and disturbances with clear escalation paths, incident containment, and coordination with authorities when appropriate.

Alarm Response & Lock/Unlock

Rapid response to alarm calls, routine opening/closing, and after-hours escorts per your SOPs.

GPS-verified rounds with time-stamped photos, NFC/QR checkpoints, and exportable Daily Activity Reports (DARs) for managers, boards, and insurers.

Cost-Effective Coverage

Proven Across L.A.

Experience in DTLA, Hollywood, Westside, Valley, South Bay, and Long Beach across retail, residential, industrial, and campus environments.

When mobile patrols make sense?

  • Large footprints: business parks, retail centers, campuses, HOAs, industrial yards

  • After-hours coverage and weekend/holiday protection

  • Parking lot/garage deterrence and safety escorts

  • Vacant buildings and construction sites between shifts

  • Alarm activity or recent incidents needing extra presence

Armed Mobile Patrol

For locations with elevated risk—repeat incidents, cash handling, or sensitive operations—armed patrols provide stronger deterrence and faster escalation control. 

Officers operate under strict BSIS compliance and use-of-force policies while maintaining a calm, service-appropriate demeanor. Typical tasks include targeted drive-throughs of high-risk zones, foot checks at doors and loading areas, alarm/break-in response, and evidence-grade documentation. 

We’ll help you allocate armed hours to peak risk windows (e.g., late evenings, close/open, weekends) and blend with unarmed rounds to maximize coverage and value.

Quick duties: high-risk zone patrols • alarm/robbery response • escorted deposits • door/gate checks • detailed photo reports.

Unarmed Mobile Patrol

Unarmed courtesy patrols deliver strong deterrence at a lower cost. 

Officers conduct drive-throughs and foot checks, verify lights and locks, test gates, observe for loitering/trespass, escort staff after hours, and document hazards for facilities teams. Patrol intervals are set to your priorities—regular pass-bys plus randomized hits to disrupt patterns. Reports include time-stamped photos and notes; trends (e.g., repeat vehicles or hotspots) are flagged for action. 

Ideal for offices, retail, restaurants, multifamily/HOAs, and light industrial sites.

Quick duties: parking-lot sweeps • lobby/back-door checks • lock/unlock routines • vendor/contractor escorts • hazard reporting.
