Commercial Security Guard Service Company in Southern California
Commercial security guards help property managers and business owners face their day-to-day security challenges. Whether you manage an office building, retail center, medical facility, or a warehouse, security guards play an important role in keeping your property safe and tenants happy.
With over 20+ years of experience and hundreds of clients served, we are confident that our commercial security guard services in Southern California give property owners peace of mind and create order for the property. Our guards are trained to manage access points, deal with intruders and unauthorized visitors, provide reports and documents, and deter criminals.
We understand that every business operates differently and every building needs its own security plan. Our commercial security guards are not only trained and licensed in security but also in customer service. They are extremely helpful in guiding tenants, very vigilant, and follow the posted orders to maintain a calm and safe environment for all.
How Commercial Property Security Guards Support Daily Operations
Commercial property security guards are essential for the daily function of a building. They open the doors before tenants arrive, close the doors after tenants leave, keep track of visitor logs, and give access to vendors and maintenance crews when needed.
They perform foot patrols to make sure the entire property remains safe.
In an office building where there is less foot traffic, the guards ensure the access points are controlled, and there are no unauthorized entries. In a high-traffic building, they stay more visible, perform hourly routine checks, and communicate with tenants and visitors more often. Their job includes monitoring lobbies, parking areas, and coordinating with the property managers.
Reporting and documentation are one of the core responsibilities of a security guard. At Safeguard, we use Silvertrac for digitized and timestamped reporting to stay transparent and give the property managers the peace of mind and access to report logs in case of an incident. Additionally, our consistent documentation and reports can be used for insurance claims and to decrease liability and risks.

Patrol Coverage, Access Control, and Guard Deployment
The security needs of every building are different. Therefore, we have fixed and customizable post orders. Our fixed posts include access control, guiding clients and customers, and hourly reports. Our customizable orders are tailored to the specific needs of the building, usually communicated by the property managers.
Some properties require a combination of armed and unarmed commercial property security guards.
The service type is determined by assessing property risk level, location, and insurance requirements. Armed security guards are usually assigned to properties with high-value assets like jewelry stores, high-end vehicle storage, shopping malls, or designer stores. Unarmed security guards handle lower-risk buildings like office buildings, retail centers, grocery stores, and medical facilities.
The effectiveness of commercial security guards depends on the scheduling and supervision. At Safeguard, our security officers are managed by a team of supervisors who are experienced and trained in the security field. We are always hands-on with our security team, perform random check-ups, call the guards when reports are not done on time, and provide instructions in case of incidents.
