Manufacturing & Industrial Plant Security

What you get with APS

Manufacturing plants and industrial facilities have a lot to protect: raw materials, finished product, tools, vehicles, forklifts, scrap metal and the people who work there. Many run more than one shift, some run around the clock, and others shut down at night and on weekends with very few people on site. APS Security provides security officers for manufacturing, food processing, building materials and other industrial sites across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. We understand plants have schedules to keep, and our officers work around production instead of slowing it down.

At most plants, the officer starts at the gate or front entrance. They check in employees, contractors, visitors and delivery drivers, keep a log of vehicles and trucks, and make sure only people with a reason to be on site get in. Food plants and other facilities with safety or sanitation rules often ask officers to confirm visitors sign in and follow posted requirements. We write the post orders with your plant manager so the officer follows the same procedures your team does. Visitor and contractor logs are kept with the shift report so you can review who was on site and when.

Between gate traffic, officers patrol the building and yard. They check doors, docks, fences and storage areas, look for leaks, smoke, standing water or equipment left running, and report safety hazards they see. When a fire alarm or sprinkler system is out of service, APS can provide fire watch coverage on the same site. During shutdowns, holidays and weekends, a guard on site helps keep empty plants from becoming easy targets for metal and equipment theft. Officers are trained to report hazards, not to operate equipment or step into areas that are off limits to them.

Every patrol round is logged with GPS check-ins and time-stamped photos, and each shift ends with a Daily Activity Report emailed to plant management. Many industrial employees speak Spanish, and our bilingual officers make gate and shift-change conversations easier. We cover single shifts, nights only, weekends or full 24/7 coverage, with unarmed or armed officers depending on the site. Call for a free quote and a walk-through of your facility. Our office watches officer clock-ins, so a missed start is caught and covered quickly instead of leaving the gate empty.
