BSIS licensed officers for commercial property, covering common areas, parking, vacant suites and after hours access, with reporting your owners can read.
Commercial property security is rarely about one dramatic incident. It is about the slow accumulation of things that make tenants start asking questions at renewal: a vehicle broken into in the garage, an encampment at the back of the lot, a vacant suite being used at night, a contractor nobody logged wandering the third floor.
We Guard Now provides commercial security guard services in Los Angeles for multi tenant offices, retail strips, industrial units, business parks and mixed use property. Our officers are BSIS licensed and briefed on your building rules, tenant list and vendor procedures. They cover common areas and parking, control after hours access, keep vacant suites secure and document everything in a format you can forward to an owner without rewriting it.
Whether you manage one building or a portfolio across the county, we can usually have officers on post within 24 hours, and we price portfolios as one account rather than a series of separate contracts.
Tell us about the property, the tenant mix and any vacancy. We will give you a written quote, usually the same day.
Our commercial security services cover the parts of a property that generate tenant complaints and owner questions. Most Los Angeles property managers start with evening and weekend coverage, then extend based on what the reports show.
Patrols of lobbies, corridors, stairwells, loading areas and perimeters on varied routes, with GPS verified checkpoints so every round is proven to the owner.
Patrols of parking structures and surface lots, where most tenant complaints and vehicle incidents actually originate.
Verifying and logging tenants, contractors and vendors entering outside business hours, which is where unexplained access usually happens.
Checking vacant units, securing doors and utilities, and spotting unauthorised occupation before it becomes an eviction problem.
Consistent handling of trespass and encampment activity at perimeters and loading areas, following your policy and local law.
A named point of contact for tenant concerns, so issues reach you as a logged report rather than an angry email at renewal.
Daily activity logs, incident reports and patrol records formatted so you can pass them to ownership or an insurer without editing.
Every property and every ownership group reports differently. Tell us what your owners ask for and we will build the reporting around it.
A commercial property officer works for the building rather than for any one tenant. The job is steady, visible coverage of shared space, consistent access control, and a written record that answers questions before they are asked.
On a typical shift, one of our Los Angeles commercial property officers will:
What a commercial property officer should never do is treat maintenance faults as somebody else’s problem. A failed lot light or a propped fire door is usually the first step toward the incident that follows.
Vacancy changes the security brief completely, and most providers price both the same way. A building with empty floors needs different coverage from a full one, not simply less of it.
Comparison point | Fully Occupied Property | Partially Vacant Property |
Main risk | Tenant and visitor incidents, parking, after hours access | Unauthorised occupation, copper and fixture theft, vandalism |
Activity pattern | Busy by day, quiet at night | Unpredictable, with long unobserved periods |
Officer focus | Common areas, parking, access control | Vacant unit checks, perimeter, utility rooms |
Risk hours | Evenings, weekends, after hours access | Overnight and weekends, when nobody is present at all |
Owner concern | Tenant satisfaction and renewals | Asset protection and holding costs |
Typical coverage | Evening and weekend posts plus patrols | Overnight patrols or a posted officer, plus documented unit checks |
A fully occupied property needs visible coverage of common areas and parking at the hours tenants are exposed, plus disciplined after hours access control.
A partially vacant property needs documented checks of empty units and utility rooms, a tighter perimeter and overnight attention, because an unoccupied floor can be used for weeks before anybody notices.
For buildings that do not justify a posted officer, scheduled patrol visits or marked vehicle coverage deliver documented checks at a fraction of the cost. For towers specifically, our high rise page covers lobby, garage and floor coverage in more depth.

We provide commercial property security across Los Angeles County, including:
Property managers are usually covering several buildings across a wide area, so a provider that only works one part of the county creates a second vendor relationship. If you are comparing security companies in Los Angeles, ask whether they can cover every property in your portfolio with the same supervision and the same reporting.
We staff from the surrounding area wherever possible and run portfolios as one account, so you deal with one supervisor, receive reporting in one format and get one invoice rather than a stack of them.
Do not see your neighborhood? We cover all of Los Angeles County. Call +1 714-760-5385 and ask.
Logs and incident reports written for an owner audience, so you are not rewriting them before a monthly report goes out.
GPS verified checkpoints and timestamped rounds, which answers the question owners always ask about what they are paying for.
Several properties under one contract, one supervisor and one invoice, which also lowers the hourly rate.
We select officers who can be helpful to a tenant and firm with a trespasser in the same shift.
Every officer holds a current BSIS guard card, verified before assignment. We operate under PPO # 121614 with general liability and workers compensation coverage.
Field supervisors run unannounced checks across your properties, including overnight.
We do not publish a single hourly figure. Evening patrol coverage at one strip center and round the clock posts across a portfolio are very different assignments. Here is what moves the rate.
Patrol visits cost a fraction of a posted officer, and suit many commercial properties well.
Evening and weekend coverage costs less than round the clock. Nights and holidays carry a premium.
Multiple buildings, garages and long perimeters mean more patrol time.
Vacant and partially vacant buildings often need more documented checks, not fewer.
Portfolios price better per hour because supervision and scheduling are shared.
Owner specific reporting formats and frequencies are included rather than charged as extras.
What we do commit to: one flat hourly rate quoted in writing before you sign, no administrative add ons, reporting included, and no rate change mid contract without your agreement. We will also tell you when patrol visits would serve a property better than a posted officer, even though it is the smaller contract.
Call +1 714-760-5385 or request a quote online. We walk the property, review tenant concerns, vacancy and incident history, and recommend coverage.
You receive post orders, patrol routes, reporting formats and a flat hourly rate for each property.
We brief officers on your building rules and tenant list, and coverage begins, typically within 24 hours.
No long term contract is required. Whether you need commercial security guards in Los Angeles for one building during a difficult period or ongoing coverage across a portfolio, both are fine.
They patrol common areas, parking and perimeters, control after hours access for tenants and vendors, check vacant suites, manage trespass and encampment activity, respond to tenant concerns, report maintenance faults and document everything for ownership.
Yes. Vacant and partially vacant properties need documented checks of empty units and utility rooms, a tighter perimeter and overnight attention. We provide posted officers or scheduled patrol visits depending on the building and budget.
Yes, and it is where the value is best. Portfolios run under one contract with one supervisor, one reporting format and one invoice, which also reduces the hourly rate.
Daily activity logs, incident reports and GPS verified patrol records, written so you can forward them to owners or insurers without rewriting them.
Consistently and calmly, following your policy and local law, with escalation to LAPD or the Sheriff where appropriate, and everything documented so the property has a record.
It depends on the coverage model, hours, property size, occupancy level, number of properties and reporting requirements. We quote one flat hourly rate in writing with no hidden fees.
Yes. Every officer holds a current BSIS guard card, verified before assignment We operate under PPO # 121614.
It depends on the property. Occupied buildings with parking complaints often need a posted officer at peak hours, while many strip centers and industrial parks are well served by documented patrol visits.
