BSIS licensed officers who keep guests and staff safe, respond fast when a housekeeper presses a panic button, and do it without changing the feel of your property.
In Los Angeles, hotel security is no longer only about guests. Since 2022, the City of Los Angeles Hotel Worker Protection Ordinance has required hotels to give workers who clean rooms alone a panic button that connects them to a security guard or responsible manager. The County followed for unincorporated areas in 2026, with an onsite responder who must be available at all times. When that button is pressed, somebody has to get to the right room, fast.
We Guard Now provides hotel security guard services in Los Angeles for full service hotels, boutique hotels, motels and extended stay properties. Our officers are BSIS licensed, trained to respond to panic button alerts and guest incidents, and selected for a manner that suits hospitality. They cover lobbies, guest floors, pools and parking, handle disruptive guests discreetly, and keep a clear record of every alert and response.
Whether you need an overnight officer at a 40 room motel or round the clock coverage at a large hotel, we can usually have officers on post within 24 hours.
Tell us about your property and your current panic button response. We will give you a written quote, usually the same day.
Our hotel security services cover guests, staff and the property around the clock. Most Los Angeles hotels start with overnight coverage and panic button response, then add lobby, pool and event coverage.
Officers receive alerts from worker safety devices, go straight to the location and support the worker, then document the incident for your records.
A discreet presence near reception, supporting night staff and managing late arrivals and non guests.
Regular patrols of corridors, stairwells, ice machine areas and exterior walkways, with GPS verified checkpoints.
Patrols of parking areas to deter vehicle break ins and keep arriving guests safe.
Managing pool and rooftop bar areas, enforcing hours and handling guest conduct.
Calm, discreet handling of noise complaints, intoxicated guests, unregistered visitors and trespassers.

A hotel security officer protects people who are away from home and staff who often work alone. The job needs quick response, sound judgment and a manner that never makes guests feel they are staying somewhere unsafe.
On a typical shift, one of our Los Angeles hotel security officers will:
What a hotel officer must never do is make guests feel watched in their own room. The best hotel security is noticed only when it is needed.
Hotels and motels face different risks because of how they are built and run. This is how coverage usually differs.
Comparison point | Full Service and Boutique Hotels | Motels and Extended Stay |
Layout | Interior corridors, lobby control, lifts | Exterior corridors, room doors facing the lot |
Main concerns | Guest floors, events, VIPs, pools and bars | Loitering, vehicle break ins, unregistered visitors, lone clerks |
Staffing at night | Several staff on duty | Often a single overnight clerk |
Officer focus | Discreet presence, panic response, guest service | Visible deterrence, lot patrols, clerk support |
Typical coverage | Round the clock or overnight posts | Overnight officer or patrol visits |
Tone | Polished and low profile | Visible and firm |
Hotels need discreet officers who respond fast to panic button alerts, manage guest floors and amenities, and support events and high profile guests.
Motels need visible officers who patrol the lot and exterior corridors, support a lone overnight clerk and deter loitering and break ins.
For properties that do not need an officer all night, scheduled patrol visits can cover the lot and corridors at a lower cost. Hotel spas are covered on our spa and wellness page.

Panic button response only works if your officer is on site and knows the property. If you are comparing security companies in Los Angeles, ask how quickly their officer can reach any room on your property and who covers breaks and days off.
We staff from the surrounding area wherever possible and keep the same officers at your property, so they know the layout, the staff and the regular guests. Note that City of Los Angeles and unincorporated County properties fall under different ordinances.

Officers trained to receive alerts, reach any room quickly and support the worker properly.
A clear log of every alert, response time and outcome, which helps you show how you respond.
Officers selected to be discreet and courteous with guests while firm with trouble.
We staff for continuity, so officers know your layout, staff and regulars.
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, including overnight.
We do not publish a single hourly figure. An overnight officer at a small motel and round the clock coverage at a large hotel are very different assignments. Here is what moves the rate.
Overnight only costs less than round the clock coverage, which needs three shifts plus relief.
Nights, weekends and holidays carry a premium because officers are paid more to work them.
Pools, rooftop bars and events add coverage at peak times.
Response times across a large or spread out property may need more than one officer.
Short term coverage for events, renovations or incidents is available. Ongoing coverage is priced lower.
More floors, buildings and parking areas mean more patrol time and sometimes more officers.
What we do commit to: one flat hourly rate quoted in writing before you sign, no administrative add ons, and no rate change mid contract without your agreement. If a hotel quote is much lower, ask how fast their officer can actually reach your top floor when a panic button is pressed.
Call +1 714-760-5385 or request a quote online. We walk the property, review your panic button setup and recommend coverage.
You receive post orders covering alert response, patrols and guest handling, plus a flat hourly rate.
We brief officers on your property and devices, and coverage begins, typically within 24 hours.
No long term contract is required. Whether you need hotel security in Los Angeles for a busy season or year round, both are fine.
Panic button response for workers, lobby and front desk support, guest floor and corridor patrols, parking patrols, pool and amenity coverage, disruptive guest handling, and event and VIP coverage.
