Security Guard Services in BURBANK, CA
A Licensed Security Guard Company in Burbank
Security guard services in Burbank stretch from the airport to hillside homes and the retail on San Fernando Blvd. Safeguard Security Services Inc. is the best security guard company in Burbank for both armed and unarmed coverage with over a decade of experience. We are licensed with the state under our PPO license (#122311), as are our private security guards who carry current BSIS cards.
We operate on a simple premise: there should be no question of whether your guard is where they are supposed to be. With live dispatch, GPS checkpoint scans and the occasional unannounced visit from a supervisor, we put that to the proof every shift. Our dispatch is active 24/7 and we can have licensed security guards on an urgent post the same day.
When Burbank Properties Need Professional Security
Usually a call to us is about a problem. Whether it’s the a production office off Alameda that wants some overnight eyes on the perimeter between shoots or a retailer on San Fernando is tired of missing merchandise after the dinner rush. Maybe an event producer has a permit clock ticking and a premiere crowd to manage. Or maybe a homeowner is seeing too many unfamiliar cars on the quiet street. And then there is the equipment left out near the airport at night. The solution is always the same: a well-trained security officer with clear post orders and someone to hold them accountable.
Our Security Services in Burbank
Armed Security Services in Burbank
There is real risk at some locations like banks, cash-intensive retail or a property with a history of trouble. Our armed security guards come with the exposed-firearm permits and range qualifications to back up their guard card. But we will also be the first to tell you if armed security is overkill; a plaza with no violent record is better served by cameras and an unarmed officer. We let the facts of the site walk decide, not an upsell.
Unarmed Security Services in Burbank
For the most part, Burbank’s offices and residential buildings need access control, parking enforcement and a nightly lockup. That is what our unarmed security guard services provide. We don’t hand you a template; the post orders are written for your site. You won’t have to take our word for it either, as our unarmed security guards log each round in Silvertrac so the timestamps are there for you to see.
Event Security Services in Burbank
We provide event security services for weddings, private parties, festivals, concerts, public events, corporate events and more. Our event security services handle the red carpet, the talent and the media crowd with the kind of discretion that matters when the guest list is more important than the gate count. Whether we are sending one security guard for a party or twenty guards for a large event, the planning is the same: radio plan, entry points, site map. For any special event on city property you will want to start the paperwork 90 days early. Our event security guards arrive briefed, not just on duty.
Construction Site Security in Burbank
With the new terminal keeping the airport busy and new projects breaking ground in the Media District, construction site security in Burbank is in demand right now. When you leave a construction site unattended, there’s going to be stolen materials like copper, property damages, fires and broken equipment. Our construction security guards are on top of it, running fence-line checks on verified routes and flagging suspicious activities to dispatch. The GC has a timestamped report before the morning meeting.
Verdugo Hillsides // AHJ ComplianceFire Watch Services in Burbank
Fire watch services come up in two ways in Burbank. Either your alarm system is down and the fire marshal has ordered a watch, or your site is in one of the very high severity zones the state put on the 2025 hazard maps for the Verdugo hillsides. Our fire watch security guards put in the logged rounds your AHJ calls for. The paper trail will stand up to OSHA and your insurance carrier.
HOA and Gated Community Security Services
HOA security in Burbank often means managing the gates, enforcing common area rules, and keeping trespassers out of the neighborhood. We give boards a fixed point of contact. From the streets of Magnolia Park to above Sunset Canyon, our presence is consistent. Our gated community security guards know the rules of your property, and our hoa security services include the reports your board can review make decisions.

Why Burbank Businesses Choose Safeguard
We are insured and BSIS licensed, but we are also run by people who answer the phone. No officer goes on a first shift without the proper state training and onboarding. If a checkpoint is missed, dispatch will note it in 15 minutes, not at the next handoff. Our media clients expect NDAs and set protocol to be followed without comment; we don’t make claims of studio affiliation, we simply staff the work around them. And should a guard not be the right fit, let us know. We will have a replacement on post at no cost to you.

Serving the Media District and Burbank
Burbank has a small footprint but a lot of security work. There is downtown San Fernando Blvd where restaurants and retailers stay open late and have to deal with the usual after-dark issues of an open-air district. Or the new meter zone that has changed parking habits and brought more overnight activity to the garages. In Magnolia Park the small shops see more shoplifting in the day than break-ins.
Then there is the Media District between Toluca Lake, Magnolia Park and the 134. Here, in the studio lots and production offices, perimeter control and badge checks are non negotiable. Near the Hollywood Burbank Airport the replacement terminal is full of delivery traffic and crews. Up in Sunset Canyon the hillside homes are in mapped wildfire zones on streets so quiet an out-of-place car is noticed. With vehicle theft high citywide and the I-5 and 134 making it simple to put some distance on things, a camera is no substitute for a visible officer. That mix is why security guard services in Burbank cannot run on a single template.

Commercial and Office Buildings
This is the core of our clients in Burbank. Our commercial building security posts handle lobby access, tenant escorts and after-hours lockups for production and media buildings and warehouses. Building managers receive digital reports rather than a paper logbook that goes unread.
Retail Centers
Our retail security guards at the are there to deter theft and see closing staff to their cars. There is no better way to handle peak hours than a visible presence, as opposed to looking at footage the next morning.
Hotels and Hospitality
With guests coming in and out 24/7 in the lobbies along the airport, our hotel security services and hospitality security services in Burbank manage noise complaints and parking issues without making the paying guest feel policed.
Healthcare
Medical offices have their share of annoyed patients and parking pressure. We train our healthcare security guards in de-escalation first since a calm voice is what most waiting-room incidents call for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Work with the Studios and Media in Burbank?
We do. From premieres to wrap events in the Media District, we staff the production offices and lots. Our people are familiar with set protocol and talent movement and will sign your NDAs. We have no affiliation with any studio, which is why production teams bring us in when in-house security does not cover their site.
Can we hire security for a Wedding or Private Function?
That is a standard detail for us. One or two of our officers will be on hand for guest entry and parking at a venue or backyard reception. If the venue requires a certificate of insurance we can provide it the same day. Booking is by the shift with a short minimum.
Do you also serve Glendale and Pasadena?
They are just down the road and our supervisors make daily routes through the area. You get the same level of oversight with live dispatch and unannounced field visits. Should your portfolio cross over into both cities, one account manager and one reporting login will handle it.
