Same-Day & Emergency Security Guards in Los Angeles & Orange County

What you get with APS

Security problems rarely give notice. A break-in overnight, a fire alarm or sprinkler system that goes down, a broken gate or storefront window, a threat from a former employee, or a tenant dispute that is getting worse can leave you needing a guard within hours, not days. APS Security answers the phone 24/7, and in many cases we can have a licensed officer on site the same day across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. We have been doing this since 2011 from our office in Seal Beach. You can also email or text us photos of the damage so the officer knows what to expect on arrival.

When you call, we ask a few direct questions: the address, what happened, what you need the guard to do, and how long you expect to need coverage. From there we match an available officer with a BSIS guard card who fits the post, whether that means watching a damaged entrance, standing at a gate, walking a building, or keeping people out of an area until repairs are done. We tell you plainly when we can get someone there, and we do not promise a time we cannot keep. If a post needs special skills, such as armed coverage or fire watch, we say so up front.

Emergency coverage is still full APS coverage. The officer clocks in with GPS on site, sends time-stamped photos through our app during the shift, and you get a Daily Activity Report by email when the shift ends. That record is useful afterward for insurance claims, police reports, landlords and anyone else who asks what happened while the property was exposed. If something comes up during the shift, the officer documents it and we contact you right away. Photos show the damaged areas, who came and went, and what the officer checked each hour.

Many emergency jobs start as one night and end once repairs are done. Others turn into ongoing coverage because the owner likes having someone there. Either way works for us. You can keep a guard for a single night, a week, or until your alarm company or contractor finishes. Our officers are bilingual in English and Spanish, and we can provide unarmed or armed guards depending on the situation. Call any time for a free quote. When the emergency is over, you simply tell us to stop, and there is no long contract to unwind.
