Local security guards for Los Angeles businesses & communities
Los Angeles properties deal with a bit of everything: downtown lofts and office towers, retail corridors, apartment buildings, parking structures, film and event venues, and a steady stream of construction. Loitering, break-ins, vehicle burglary and vandalism are the problems we hear about most, and many owners need guards who can handle the public calmly.
Looking for a reliable security guard company in Los Angeles? APS Security protects apartment complexes, HOAs, retail centers, offices, warehouses, construction sites, churches, schools and events in Los Angeles and nearby Downtown LA, Hollywood, Koreatown, South LA, Westside.
Our Los Angeles security officers are licensed by the California BSIS, background checked and trained. Unlike most security companies, every APS guard checks in with GPS and sends time-stamped photos from your property, and you get a Daily Activity Report after each shift.
Whether you need a guard for one night, a weekend event, fire watch while your alarm is down, or 24/7 coverage, we can usually start in Los Angeles within 24–48 hours.
What Los Angeles properties need
Los Angeles security needs are as varied as the city itself. Downtown and the Arts District have loft buildings, offices and parking structures that struggle with trespassing and encampments. Koreatown and Mid-Wilshire have dense apartment buildings that need lobby and garage security. South LA and East LA have churches, schools, community centers and small businesses that need reliable, respectful coverage, and the Valley has warehouses, restaurants and business parks.
APS provides Los Angeles properties with armed and unarmed guards, mobile patrol, fire watch, construction and event security. Our GPS check-ins and photo reports give LA property managers proof of every shift, which matters when you manage buildings across a city this big.
