Security guard services in Camarillo for packing houses, cold storage and farm yards on the Camarillo Plain, warehouses on the truck routes to the Port of Hueneme, industrial parks near the 101, and retail at The Collection at RiverPark. Officers are unarmed, and every shift ends with a written report.
Camarillo has an unusual mix for a city its size. The airport anchors a genuine aerospace and defence cluster, with component makers and aviation services on and around the field. A few minutes away sit outlet retail with acres of surface parking, and beyond that, farmland and packing operations.
Each of those loses different things. In August 2024 Ventura County agencies arrested 28 people over a run of tractor thefts in the countryside between Oxnard and Camarillo, and in May 2025 a cargo theft ring targeting Camarillo businesses was broken up with about $1.5 million in goods recovered.
Policing is contracted from the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, so the local station covers ground well beyond the city line. CAL Security Group carries a BSIS Private Patrol Operator (PPO) licence, and unarmed officers are the only kind we put on a post.
The county's recent cases point the same way: organised crews, targets chosen in advance, and property that sits unattended on open ground or in a yard overnight.
What changes those odds is presence at irregular hours and paperwork that holds up afterwards: trailer and container numbers logged in and out, equipment recorded where it sits, unfamiliar vehicles noted with plates, and every round timed. That record is what lets Sheriff's detectives connect one theft to the next.
Component manufacturers, aviation services and hangar operations with expensive tooling and parts. Access control at the door, contractor sign-in, and after-hours rounds of yards and loading areas.
Industrial security →Large surface parking and weekend crowds, then empty lots at night. Doorway presence during trading hours and lot rounds after closing, with usable written reports.
Retail security →Cold rooms, loading yards and equipment left in fields. Patrol along access roads, a walk of the yard and equipment line, and gates checked and closed.
Mobile patrol →Office and flex buildings that empty by early evening, often sharing driveways and parking. One patrol route covers several buildings more usefully than an officer at a single gate.
Clinics and medical offices with staff leaving after dark and patients arriving through the day. Reception cover, escorts to parking and after-hours door checks.
Medical security →Job sites holding lumber, copper and appliances for weeks before anything locks. Gate posts on delivery days, logged night rounds while material is exposed.
Construction security →Camarillo is about 45 miles west of our office at 1208 W Jefferson Blvd in Los Angeles. Other city pages close by, by straight-line distance:
Unarmed guards in California bill at about $22 to $40 an hour on the open market, published market data rather than CAL Security Group's rate. Camarillo has no city minimum wage of its own, so the wage floor is California's $16.90 an hour in 2026.
The Sheriff's Office covers a wide contract area from one station, so the value of private cover here is presence at the hours nobody else is on your property. Most Camarillo clients buy it that way: a patrol route with timed stops through the night across several sites, then a standing officer only at the one address that keeps having problems.
Harvest and peak shipping weeks are quoted separately rather than baked into a year-round rate, which is how a grower or a packer should be buying it. The security guard cost guide lists what each property type usually runs.
Harvest and peak shipping weeks need more cover than February. Quote them separately and keep the base contract lean.
