Cameras Are Not Enough
When San Bernardino Properties Need Professional Security
Copper doesn't last long in a vacant building. Strip crews will make off with rooftop HVAC or construction wiring from an unoccupied commercial space before you can file a claim, and the repairs will cost more than the scrap is worth. Then there is cargo theft. Trailers and pallets have a way of walking off yards. Toss in some vandalism, break-ins, catalytic converter theft in the employee lot and encampment activity by the rail corridors, and you will find cameras are not enough. A supervised officer who is actually visible puts a different spin on those numbers.
What We Do
Security Services We Provide in San Bernardino
Armed Security Services in San Bernardino
For some sites armed coverage is the right move, whether it is for cash on hand, threats to staff or high-value inventory in a yard off the 215. It is the top request in this market. Our armed security guards carry BSIS cards and exposed firearm permits. We do a site assessment first because we would rather tell you that armed is overkill than put you down for the higher rate. Much of the private security in San Bernardino is industrial, so you will find our armed guards at logistics yards and dealerships overnight. Read about how we staff and supervise these posts on our armed security page.
Unarmed Security Services in San Bernardino
You don't need a firearm for most posts. Unarmed security guards are more cost effective and are well suited to lobby access, parking and de-escalation. For the most part, what security guards in San Bernardino see is loitering and trespassing. Our officers document, engage and if it goes too far, they put in a call to SBPD. See the full breakdown of foot patrol and standing posts on our unarmed security guard services page.
Event Security Services in San Bernardino
This is a different kind of business. From crowd flow and vendor access to the exits no one thought of. We cover shows at the NOS Events Center, Cal State campus events and private affairs across the city, from quinceañeras to security for weddings. A booking for a security guard for a party for four hours is standard. Our event security page has the rest of the details on how we brief our event security guards before they arrive.
Construction Site Security in San Bernardino
In the Inland Empire that means keeping an eye on copper, tools and fuel behind temporary fencing. With all the new development along the 210 and toward the airport, every site is a target between pour and lockup. We provide overnight and weekend coverage and GPS-stamped reports so the GC knows the perimeter was walked. Check our construction site security page.
Fire Watch Services in San Bernardino
OSHA wants someone on hot work and the AHJ will require a fire watch when your system is down. We can have our guards on site the same day. When fire season comes and we are up against the mountains, you can't wait. Our fire watch security guards keep the written record the inspector will want to see. More on the fire watch page.

Industries We Serve in San Bernardino
Warehouse & Logistics
Freight doesn't wait and neither do we. From driver verification to dock doors and trailer yards, warehouse security is the single biggest demand in the market. It comes down to a controlled gate and a yard patrol with checkpoints. For more on our Inland Empire staffing, see the warehouse FAQ below.
Retail Centers
Theft here is usually repeat business from those who know which stores won't make a fuss. Word gets around fast once an officer is on hand. We provide visible deterrence at the door and in the lot during closing counts. See our retail security page.
Commercial & Office Buildings
Daytime brings steady foot traffic to the office buildings on Hospitality Lane and downtown, but they empty out quick and that is when trouble starts. We handle the lobby access, parking structures and tenant escorts. Check the commercial building security page for details.
Healthcare
Clinics and medical offices have to contend with agitated visitors and staff making their way to cars late at night. Our officers are trained to de-escalate before it becomes physical. Find the rest of our coverage details on the healthcare security page.
Checkpoints logged. Yards covered.
GPS stamped reports from every shift, dispatch that follows up on late checkpoints, and supervisors based in the Inland Empire.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Provide Warehouse and Logistics Security in the Inland Empire?
You will find that is the bulk of what we do in this market. We put posts in along the I-10 and I-215 for dock and gate control, driver checks and yard patrol. Cargo theft is an organized affair out here, not opportunistic, so our dispatch follows up on every logged checkpoint. Visit our warehouse security page for the full story on how we staff for multi-site operators and single yards alike.
Can I Hire Security for a Wedding or Private Party in San Bernardino?
Certainly. We book everything from quinceañeras to corporate functions. A lone officer for a four or five hour window is typical to manage the gift table, parking and anyone who has had one too many. Most venues will want to see a certificate of insurance for private events, and we can supply that. Put in a booking a week ahead if you can.
How Fast Can You Start a Fire Watch in San Bernardino?
Typically the day of your call. When the AHJ or your insurer has put an order in place, you can't afford to wait. Tell us the address and the hours required and we will have officers there with the log book in hand. We keep the written record up to code so you are not held up by paperwork for an inspection or reinstatement.
Do You Provide Both Armed and Unarmed Officers?
We do both and will be candid about what the site warrants. Unarmed is sufficient for most properties. There is a case for armed coverage with cash handling or a history of targeted threats, but we don't try to sell an armed rate where it isn't called for. We review the incident history and layout during the free walkthrough before making a recommendation.
