Officers, patrols and monitoring for cell sites, central offices, fiber huts and cable yards, built for the city with the worst cable theft problem in the country.
Los Angeles has a problem no other city matches. Local reporting in August 2026 found the city leads the nation in wire and cable thefts, with more than double the number recorded in Houston. Every cut line means an outage, a truck roll, a repair crew and customers who lose phone and internet, sometimes including their ability to call 911.
We Guard Now provides telecommunications facility security in Los Angeles for carriers, tower companies, fiber operators and their contractors. We protect central offices, cell sites, fiber huts, cable vaults and construction yards with BSIS licensed officers, scheduled patrols and remote monitoring, matched to each site rather than a single model applied everywhere. Most telecom sites are unmanned, so we are honest about where a full time officer is worth it and where patrols and cameras do the job better.
Whether you need one officer at a central office or patrol coverage across dozens of sites, we can usually start within 24 hours.
Tell us about your sites and where theft or vandalism is hitting. We will give you a written quote, usually the same day.
Our telecom site security covers staffed hubs and unmanned field sites alike. Most operators in Los Angeles start with patrols across the sites being hit hardest, then add on site officers or monitoring where losses justify it.
Officers control access to staffed network buildings, verify technicians and contractors, and log every entry.
Scheduled and randomised patrols of tower compounds, checking fences, gates, shelters and cabinets for tampering.
Patrols of cable routes, vaults and splice points in known hot spots, with rapid reporting of damage and suspicious activity.
Regular visits to roadside huts and cabinets, where a single break in can take down a neighbourhood.
Access control and checks for rooftop antenna installations on commercial and residential buildings.
Overnight coverage for yards holding reels of cable, copper and equipment awaiting deployment.
Fast written reports with photos and times, shared with your network operations team and law enforcement.
Every network is different. Tell us which sites are being hit and we will design coverage around your loss data.
A telecom security officer protects infrastructure that is usually unattended, spread out and easy to reach. The job is about presence, route discipline and reporting fast enough that repair crews and investigators can act.
On a typical shift, one of our Los Angeles telecom security officers will:
What a telecom officer should never do is confront an armed theft crew alone. The job is to deter, detect and report quickly and safely, so the right response arrives and the network is restored faster.
Most telecom sites have nobody on them most of the time. Putting a full time officer at every site is rarely affordable, and rarely necessary. This is how we decide.
Comparison point | On Site Officer | Patrols and Remote Monitoring |
Best for | Central offices, switching centers, busy yards, sites with repeat losses | Cell sites, fiber huts, cabinets and cable routes |
Coverage | Continuous at one location | Many sites visited or watched across a shift |
Deterrence | Constant and visible | Unpredictable visits plus cameras and talk down |
Response | Immediate on site | Dispatch on alarm or on the next patrol |
Cost | Full shift rate per site | A fraction of a full post, shared across a network |
Scales to | A few critical locations | Dozens of sites across the county |
Choose an on site officer if the location is staffed, holds high value equipment or materials, controls technician access, or has been hit repeatedly.
Choose patrols and monitoring if you have many unmanned sites spread across the county and need them checked and watched without funding a post at each one.
Most operators run a mix, with officers at a few critical buildings and patrol routes plus camera monitoring across the field sites. If your facility is a data hall or colocation building rather than network infrastructure, that is covered on our data center page.

We provide telecommunications facility security across Los Angeles County, including:
Telecom coverage is a route problem. Sites are scattered, and patrols only work if they are built around real drive times and real hot spots. If you are comparing security companies in Los Angeles, ask how they would route patrols across your sites and how fast they can reach one after an alarm.
We staff and route from the surrounding area wherever possible, from the Valley and the San Gabriel Valley to the South Bay and East LA, and we adjust routes as theft patterns shift.
Do not see your neighborhood? We cover all of Los Angeles County. Call +1 714-760-5385 and ask.
We will tell you which sites need an officer and which are better served by patrols or cameras, even when the cheaper answer is right.
Patrols are planned around where cable and copper theft is actually happening, and changed as patterns move.
Theft happens at 3am, and our line is answered at 3am.
Central offices, towers, huts and yards under one contract, one supervisor and one invoice.
Times, locations, photos and descriptions sent quickly, so repair crews and investigators can act.
Every officer holds a current BSIS guard card, verified before assignment. We operate under PPO # 121614 with general liability and workers compensation coverage.
We do not publish a single figure. A single central office post and patrols across forty field sites are priced very differently. Here is what moves the cost.
More visits per night mean better deterrence and a higher cost. We match frequency to each site’s loss history.
Patrols and remote monitoring cost a fraction of a full time officer per site. The right model saves more than any rate negotiation.
Staffed central offices and yards are priced per post hour, with round the clock posts needing three shifts.
More sites on one route lower the cost per site, because drive time and supervision are shared.
Short term coverage during a theft spike or construction phase is available. Ongoing coverage is priced lower.
Most theft happens overnight, so night coverage is usually the priority. Nights and weekends carry a premium.
What we do commit to: a flat rate quoted in writing before you sign, whether per visit, per site or per hour, with patrol logs included. No fuel surcharges and no rate change mid contract without your agreement. Ask any provider to show you a real patrol log from a real night before you choose.
Call +1 714-760-5385 or request a quote online. We review your site list, loss history and hot spots, and recommend the right mix of officers, patrols and monitoring.
You receive a site by site coverage plan, patrol routes and a flat rate in writing.
We brief officers on your sites and access rules, and coverage begins, typically within 24 hours.
No long term contract is required. Whether you need telecom security in Los Angeles for a theft spike in one area or ongoing coverage across a network, both are fine.
Access control at central offices, patrols of tower compounds, fiber huts, cabinets and cable routes, construction yard security, alarm response and fast incident reporting to your network operations team and law enforcement.
It can reduce it significantly at the sites you protect. Unpredictable patrols, visible presence and cameras make a site a harder target, and fast reporting shortens outages and supports investigations. No provider can stop theft across an entire network.
Usually not. Most cell sites, huts and cabinets are better protected by patrols and remote monitoring. Full time officers make sense at central offices, busy yards and sites with repeated losses.
Yes. We patrol tower compounds, check fences, locks, shelters and cabinets, and respond to alarms, alongside camera monitoring where it is installed.
It depends on the coverage model, number of sites, patrol frequency and hours. We quote a flat rate in writing, per visit, per site or per hour.
Yes. Every officer holds a current BSIS guard card, verified before assignment. We operate under PPO # 121614.
Officers deter, detect and report. They contact law enforcement when theft is in progress rather than confronting crews alone, because officer safety and fast reporting protect your network better.
Yes. Data halls and colocation facilities are covered on our data center and technology facility security page, because they need a different, access control led approach.
Tell us which sites are being hit. We will recommend the right mix of officers, patrols and monitoring, quote a flat rate in writing and tell you how fast we can start. Free assessment, no obligation.
