The Standard

Why Los Angeles and Orange County choose Union Guard.

Rigorously vetted, background-checked officers

Every Union Guard officer passes BSIS registration, multi-county background screening, and our own interview process before ever standing a post. Most applicants don't make it through.

Elite training, drilled — not assumed

De-escalation, access control, emergency response, and report writing are trained, tested, and refreshed on a schedule. Officers arrive knowing your site's post orders cold.

Fully licensed & insured

California BSIS-permitted operation with comprehensive liability coverage. Certificates of insurance issued to your ownership or management entity before deployment.

Technology-backed accountability

GPS-verified patrols, time-stamped digital reports, and monitored camera integration. You see what your security saw — every shift, in writing.

What clients say

Their officer learned every tenant's name in the first two weeks. Incidents at the property are down, and our renewal conversations got easier.

M. AlvarezProperty Manager, Commercial Office — Los Angeles

We'd been through three patrol companies before Union Guard. The difference is the reporting — time-stamped, photographed, every night, without us asking.

D. ChenHOA Board President — Orange County

They staffed our product launch with officers who looked like part of the event staff. Guests never noticed security. That was the point.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

Everything a property manager, HOA board, or facility lead asks us before signing. Still unsure? A senior assessor will walk you through it.

What areas does Union Guard Security serve?

Union Guard Security provides licensed security guard services throughout Los Angeles County and Orange County, California — including Downtown LA, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Long Beach, Pasadena, Anaheim, Irvine, Newport Beach, and surrounding cities. Dispatch and supervision are staged across both counties for fast response.

Are your security guards licensed and insured?

Yes. Union Guard operates as a licensed Private Patrol Operator under the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Certificates of insurance are issued to your entity before any officer is deployed.

Do you provide both armed and unarmed security guards?

Yes. We field unarmed professional officers for most environments and BSIS firearm-qualified armed officers for higher-risk sites such as financial institutions, cash-handling operations, and executive protection. Every officer is background-checked and trained in de-escalation first.

How fast can you deploy security guards?

Most engagements begin within 48 hours of your free on-site assessment, and emergency coverage can often be arranged the same day. Call our 24/7 dispatch line to discuss urgent needs.

How much does a security guard cost in Los Angeles or Orange County?

Pricing depends on the number of officers, hours of coverage, whether the post is armed or unarmed, and the risk profile of the property. Union Guard provides a written quote with transparent pricing after a free on-site assessment — no obligation.

What is a free security assessment?

A senior Union Guard assessor visits your property, reviews your entry points, lighting, traffic patterns, and incident history, and delivers a written protection plan with recommended coverage and transparent pricing — usually within 24 hours, at no cost.

Do you offer CCTV monitoring and access control as well as guards?

Yes. Beyond manned guarding and mobile patrol, Union Guard offers live-monitored CCTV with voice-down intervention, verified alarm dispatch, and manned access control at gatehouses and lobbies — so you can combine officers and technology into one coordinated program.

How are your security officers vetted and trained?

Every officer clears BSIS registration, DOJ and FBI fingerprint background checks, employment verification, and an in-person interview before deployment, then completes site-specific post-order training and ongoing refreshers. Most applicants never clear the full pipeline.

What's the difference between armed and unarmed security guards?

Unarmed officers deter and de-escalate through presence, observation, and reporting — the right fit for most corporate, residential, and retail environments. Armed officers carry a BSIS firearm permit and are deployed where the risk profile demands a decisive licensed deterrent, such as cash-handling operations, financial institutions, or executive protection. Union Guard provides both and helps you choose during the free assessment.

How do I hire a licensed security guard company in Los Angeles?

Verify the company holds a current California BSIS Private Patrol Operator (PPO) license, confirm liability insurance and bonding, ask how officers are screened and trained, and request a written proposal. With Union Guard, you start with a free on-site assessment and receive a written protection plan with transparent pricing before committing to anything.

Do you provide 24/7 security coverage?

Yes. Union Guard runs 24/7 dispatch and field supervision, and can staff round-the-clock posts, overnight patrols, and weekend or holiday coverage. A supervisor answers when you call, at any hour.
