Long Beach, CAOur Security Guard Company in Long Beach
Safeguard provides the most reliable security guard services in Long Beach. We provide both armed and unarmed security guards in Long Beach for a range of industries. Our clients trust us with their businesses, events, or homes because we focus on what most companies lack: real supervision. To start, all of our security guards are licensed and insured. We provide timestamped reports that are being monitored 24/7 by our dispatch team, and we have our supervisors do random checks.
We’ve been provided security guard services in Long Beach from high rises on Ocean Blvd to warehouses near the port. We treat each property and industry differently, that’s why we’re able to maintain quality in our services.
There are plenty of security guard companies in Long Beach that will quote low hourly rates just to close a client. At Safeguard, we don’t believe in “cheap security”. The safety of your business, family, or event should never be in the hands of cheap security.
On-Site Security Guards
Our on-site security guards in Long Beach are trained and licensed. Our guards and our management are local and understand the area well. A retail floor on Pine Ave. needs someone watching for shoplifting and break-ins after closing. That’s different from a down building lobby that needs access control and calm presence. Same way a medical office requires strong presence and guards trained in handling upset patients and visitors.
Our guards are stationed at fixed posts and do foot patrols. They check doors, log every round in Silvertrac, and write up anything that looks off. You get the report, not a verbal “all clear” you can’t verify.

Their dispatch caught a missed checkpoint at 3am and called the guard before I even knew. That is the kind of oversight I was paying for and never got from my last company.

We switched after repeated break-ins. Safeguard's armed officers and the nightly reports actually stopped the problem. Reports come in every morning like clockwork.

Armed and Unarmed Security Guards in Long Beach
Two coverage levels, matched to your property’s risk. Both uniformed, both fully reported.
UNARMED
Unarmed security guards
Unarmed security guards in Long Beach handle access control, patrol the premises, write incident reports and act as the physical deterrence. Our Long Beach unarmed security guards are trained in de-escalation, customer service, and enforcing property rules. Unarmed security guards are most commonly used by retail stores, residential properties, HOA gates, office buildings, and most events. Want presence without a weapon? Our unarmed security guard services in Long Beach, CA give you a uniformed officer and the same reporting.
ARMED
Armed security guards
Armed security guards in Long Beach are hired when the risk is high. Cash handling businesses, HOA communities that face repeated break-ins, employers dealing with aggressive employees after they’ve been fired, warehouses with expensive inventory are some of the clients we provide armed security guards for. All armed guards must have a valid exposed firearm permit issued by BSIS.

The Safeguard difference
Stop guessing whether your guard showed up.
GPS-timestamped checkpoints, 24/7 dispatch, and unannounced supervisor checks. You see the proof, you don’t take our word for it.
Industries We Serve in Long Beach
Different properties fail in different ways. Here’s where we work most in Long Beach.
Construction Security & Fire Watch
Construction site security services in Long Beach are an essential part of any construction project. Whether it’s apartment projects off of Pine Avenue or tenant work near the Convention Center, our construction security guards keep your property safe. Construction sites usually deal with theft of copper, tools, construction equipment, and even materials. Another common issue for construction sites are property damage and encampment. Our Long Beach construction security guards control access points, patrol the site overnight when the construction crew leaves, kick out trespassers, and prevent theft, vandalism and property damage.
Fire watch security guards in Long Beach are requested by clients when the sprinklers and fire alarm systems stop working. Sometimes fire watch security is required by the fire marshal or insurance companies, other times people like to take a proactive approach and protect themselves against any fire damage. Our Long Beach fire watch security guards patrol properties every 30 minutes, take pictures and write detailed reports to stay compliant with fire marshal’s orders. We provide fire watch security in Long Beach on short notice, including same-day coverage when a system fails.
Warehouse & Parking Lot Security
Our Long Beach warehouse security guards cover the loading docks, entry points, side gates, trailer staging, and the main office. Long Beach warehouses store millions of dollars worth of products that come through the port. A warehouse that loses client products and goods not only loses money in stolen items and damages, but also loses credibility among its clients. Safeguard your warehouse by hiring our Long Beach warehouse security guard services.
Parking lot security in Long Beach has its own issues. Car break-ins, catalytic converter theft, people camping, and customers getting robbed or assaulted in stairwells can turn into huge liability. Our Long Beach parking lot security guards patrol the entire parking lot either by foot or patrol vehicle. They check stairwells, blind spots, under the stairs and flag any suspicious cars or activities in our digital reporting system so when the next guard comes, they’re aware of it as well.
Event Security
People hire event security guards in Long Beach for three main reasons. First, the venue requires them to hire a security guard. Especially if there’s alcohol involved. Second, is when the host expects unwanted guests to join the party so they create a list and have security guards check everyone in. Lastly, it’s when the client wants to take a proactive approach and hire security guards for the safety of everyone. Regardless of what the reasoning is, our event security guards in Long Beach keep events safe and give our clients peace of mind. Your safety should never be compromised. Especially on your special night.
Whatever your property or industry, we’ll match the right guard to the post.Call (877) 766-5499

Why Choose Our Long Beach Security Company
There are many security companies in Long Beach, why should you choose Safeguard? Our clients don’t choose us because we’re licensed and insured, they choose us because we focus on quality. We understand that every shift, every client, every property, and every event is different. Security isn’t one size fit all.
We work with property managers, business owners, warehouse managers, event planners, HOA boards, and homeowners every day to give them peace of mind and protect their property and business.
No security plan or management system is perfect, but over the past decade, we’ve created a system that’s as close to perfect as possible. Our system is designed to maintain the quality of our service. It’s simple but extremely effective. We have our security guards on site, trained and licensed. Next, we have our dispatch team that monitors security guards and their hourly reports. No report submitted means a call from dispatch to check on guards. Lastly, we have our field supervisors do random checks on guards to make sure they’re uniformed, on site, and following site orders.
To finish it all off, we assign our clients a dedicated account manager. Have you ever worked with a security company that you can’t get a hold of? You have to send them an email or call multiple times and maybe they’ll get back to you? We understand the frustration. Our account managers respond to client needs within the same hour. Do you need changes to your service? Want a copy of today’s reports? Moving to a new location? Call your account manager and they’ll take care of it. Same day.

How to Hire a Security Guard in Long Beach
Hiring security guard services in Long Beach shouldn’t take a week of phone tag. If you’ve never hired security guards before, the process is simpler than you think. Here’s how it works with us.
01Free site walk.
We look at entry points, problem hours, and the spots where coverage breaks down, specific to your property. For a warehouse, that’s the docks and the yard. For a residential building, it’s the after-hours lobby and the parking structure.
02Custom post orders.
We write exactly what your officer does each shift, built for your site instead of a copy-paste template. Your post orders are the rulebook every guard follows on your property.
03Officer match.
We assign guards by skill and fit, armed or unarmed, and introduce the point of contact you’ll deal with directly.
04First shift and follow-up.
A supervisor is on site for the first shift, then checks back to fix anything that needs adjusting.
Most clients go from first call to boots on the ground in a few days. If you need coverage tonight, say so. We’ve staffed emergency posts the same day.
Set up your free site walk. Call 877-766-5499 or email info@safeguardpss.com. We’ll look at your property, tell you straight whether you need armed or unarmed coverage, and quote a rate that fits the site. That’s the standard behind the security guard services Long Beach trusts. No pressure, no lock-in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers before you call
How do I know the guard is really doing their rounds?
Every checkpoint has a scheduled time in Silvertrac. Your officer scans it, and the system logs the GPS location, time, and officer ID. If a round doesn’t post on schedule, our 24/7 dispatch calls the officer within about 15 minutes. You can read the full patrol log yourself. We’d rather show you the proof than ask you to trust us.
Are your Long Beach security guards licensed and insured?
Yes. California BSIS licenses our company and every officer. Our PPO license is #122311, and we’re bonded and insured. Each guard carries a current BSIS guard card, and armed officers add the exposed firearm permit. We’ll send our license and insurance proof before you sign. Hiring an unlicensed company puts the liability on you.
What if I only need security for a month?
We provide both long term and short term security services. Whether you need a guard for a month or a year, let us know and we’ll work with you and staff your property accordingly.
