  1. Cargo Theft Prevention:
    • California leads the U.S. in cargo theft, with $15 million+ in losses annually, targeting electronics, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural goods. Security deters theft at truck stops (e.g., San Bernardino’s I-10 corridor) and logistics hubs.
  2. Driver & Facility Safety:
    • Protect truck drivers from assaults, fuel theft, and vehicle break-ins at high-risk stops like Oakland’s Hegenberger Road or LA’s Commerce truck terminals.
  3. Supply Chain Integrity:
    • Secure logistics centers and rail yards (e.g., BNSF San Bernardino or Union Pacific Roseville) to prevent delays from vandalism, trespassing, or cyber-physical threats.
  4. Compliance with Regulations:
    • Meet CTPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) and FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) requirements for access control and incident reporting.
  5. Emergency Response:
    • Address accidents, hazardous material spills, or wildfires (e.g., Central Valley truck routes) with trained personnel to minimize downtime.
  6. Guest Services:
    • Assist drivers with parking, rest area safety, and facility access while monitoring for risks like human trafficking or illegal activity.

Security Needs in Major California Cities

  1. Los Angeles & Long Beach:
    • Ports of LA/Long Beach (busiest in the U.S.) require 24/7 standing guards and drone surveillance to protect $500B+ in annual cargo.
  2. San Francisco Bay Area:
    • Port of Oakland and Richmond logistics hubs need patrols to combat container theft and cyber-physical breaches.
  3. San Diego:
    • Border-adjacent truck stops (e.g., Otay Mesa) require bilingual guards to manage cross-border logistics and prevent smuggling.
