Security guard services in Anaheim for hotels in the Anaheim Resort district, businesses around Angel Stadium and Honda Center, and the industrial parks of Anaheim Canyon. The Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) licenses every officer we post there.
Anaheim runs two economies at once. South of the 5 sits the resort district, where hotels, restaurants and parking operators live off visitor traffic to Disneyland and the Anaheim Convention Center. North and east, Anaheim Canyon is one of Orange County's larger industrial districts, where the tenants are warehouses, distributors and manufacturers with yards full of trailers.
Those two halves buy security for different reasons. The resort side buys crowd handling, lobby cover and lot control. The Canyon side buys gate control, yard rounds and an officer who checks trailer seals at 3 a.m.
The company works under a Private Patrol Operator (PPO) licence issued by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), staffing unarmed officers and nothing else. For event work, the licence matters twice over, since the venue checks it before your officers get through the door.
Booking a show at the Convention Center means meeting the building's own staffing ratios and paperwork deadlines, not just hiring officers.
| Requirement in the venue's event security guidelines | What it means when you book |
|---|---|
| At least one security or crowd control person for every 500 attendees | A 4,000-person show needs a minimum of eight officers before you add door, dock or overnight posts |
| One guard per 200 guests for outdoor events in the Arena or Grand Plaza | Outdoor space more than doubles the count for the same headcount |
| An outside security vendor must hold a valid California PPO licence | CAL Security Group's PPO licence is searchable on the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) lookup |
| Proof of general liability insurance, workers' compensation, the PPO licence and a City of Anaheim business licence, at least 30 days before move-in | Book the vendor a month out. Paperwork, not officer availability, is what usually runs late |
Ratios and documents come from the Convention Center's published event security guidelines, and event managers hold to them. Send us the show dates, the expected attendance and whether any part of it sits outdoors, and the quote will show the officer count the building expects alongside anything extra your own floor plan needs.
Hotels, motels and restaurants running from early morning to late night, with guests, non-guests and parked cars mixing in the same lots. Night lobby officers, parking rounds and a written log of who was asked to leave.
Hotel security →Honda Center and Angel Stadium turn the surrounding blocks over several nights a week in season, and the new mixed-use blocks around them keep adding residents. Event-date lot control and apartment garage patrols are the usual posts.
Warehouses, distribution buildings and manufacturers north of the 91, running shifts around the clock. Gate control, driver check-in, trailer and seal checks, and yard rounds between rows after dark.
Warehouse security →Center Street, the Packing House and the surrounding blocks fill in the evening and empty late. Officers here work doors, patios and the parking structures people walk back to.
Older motels, strip retail and apartment blocks along a long commercial corridor. Lock-up rounds, patrol stops and standing officers where a property has a recurring problem after dark.
Lock-up rounds →Residential streets, small commercial centres and construction on the hillside edge. Patrol routes work better here than fixed posts, with timed stops through parking areas and job sites.
Construction security →Anaheim is about 27 miles southeast of our office at 1208 W Jefferson Blvd in Los Angeles. Other city pages close by, by straight-line distance:
Event dates, standing posts and patrol routes are priced as separate lines, so a convention week never gets averaged into your weekly rate.

Unarmed guards in California bill at about $22 to $40 an hour on the open market, event work included. That number is not our rate; it is the range the market publishes. Anaheim adds one wrinkle that no other Orange County city has.
Whether Measure L touches your property depends on your own subsidy status, which is a question for your operator, not your guard company. What it does mean is that two hotels on the same street can carry different labour costs, and any security quote that ignores that is guessing. Our event security cost guide and general cost guide break the ranges down.
Attendance, hall, move-in and move-out times, and whether any of it is outdoors. That is enough to price the officers and meet the venue ratio.
