CAL Security Group places unarmed security guards, licensed by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), across four Southern California counties and the San Fernando Valley, from our office at 1208 W Jefferson Blvd in Los Angeles. Find your city below, or read how coverage works across the region.
Twenty cities have a full page so far, and every other city and neighborhood we cover is listed further down. Commercial and residential properties are both in scope. The county pages cover each area's property mix and local rules; this page covers what stays the same everywhere and what changes with the address.
The largest and most varied area: the port complex, Downtown towers, Westside rebuild sites and the Antelope Valley.
Planned communities and homeowners associations, Irvine office campuses, resort-district hotels and beach-city retail.
Inland Empire warehouses, truck yards and rail, plus the High Desert along the I-15.
The Los Angeles County region north of the Santa Monica Mountains: studios, Ventura Boulevard and Warner Center.
Farms on the Oxnard Plain, the Port of Hueneme area and the Conejo and Simi valleys.

Our Private Patrol Operator (PPO) license and every officer's guard card come from BSIS and are valid statewide, and every guard card requires the same 40 hours of BSIS training. There is no separate county guard license. Written confirmation of our licence and insurance arrives before day one.
California requires every licensed PPO to carry at least $1,000,000 in general liability coverage per occurrence (Business and Professions Code Sections 7583.39 and 7583.40). We send a certificate of insurance naming you before the first shift.
A free site walk, a written quote broken out post by post, written post orders before the first shift, and a written report after every shift. Field supervisors visit posts unannounced, and dispatch answers 24/7.
The fire authority. A fire watch follows the order of whichever department covers the address. Across our five areas that includes the Los Angeles Fire Department, the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the Orange County Fire Authority, San Bernardino County Fire, the Ventura County Fire Department and a long list of city departments, and they do not all set the same patrol interval or log format.
The police agency. Depending on the address, incidents go to a city police department, the county sheriff in unincorporated areas and contract cities, or the California Highway Patrol on state highways. The post orders name the right agency and its non-emergency number, and local items such as alarm permits and event permits.
Distance and weather. A post in Lancaster, Victorville or Fillmore is a long drive from central Los Angeles, so relief and supervisor visits get planned before we commit to a start date. Coastal posts deal with fog and damp nights; inland and desert posts deal with summer heat, where Cal/OSHA's heat rules shape how the post is set up.
Call with the street address. We will tell you which county and which local agencies apply, and set up a site walk.
Tell us the address and what the property needs. We walk the site, write the post orders and quote each post separately, anywhere in our five areas.
