BSIS licensed officers for attractions of every size, screening guests at the gate, keeping queues moving and handling the incident every operator dreads.
Ask an attraction manager what keeps them awake and very few say theft. They say a child separated from their family at four in the afternoon on the busiest Saturday of the year. Everything else, from bag checks to queue jumpers to a guest who has had too much, is routine by comparison. The difference between a five minute reunion and a situation that ends up on the news is whether your staff follow a procedure they have actually practised.
We Guard Now provides theme park and attraction security in Los Angeles for family entertainment centers, water parks, seasonal and haunted attractions, immersive experiences, zoos, aquariums and studio tours. Our officers are BSIS licensed and selected for a manner that fits a day out, because a visitor paying for a good time should barely register that security is there until they need it. We train officers on your lost child procedure, your prohibited items list and your evacuation plan before their first shift.
Whether you run a single attraction year round or staff up tenfold for a seasonal event, we can usually have officers on site within 24 hours.
Tell us about your attraction and your busiest days. We will give you a written quote, usually the same day.
Our attraction security covers the gate, the midway and the moments that go wrong. Most Los Angeles operators start with entry screening and roving coverage, then add parking and overnight protection.
Officers trained on your procedure: securing exits, alerting staff, searching to a pattern and reuniting families quickly, with everything documented afterwards.
Consistent bag checks and prohibited item screening run fast enough that the queue keeps moving, because a slow gate creates its own crowd problem.
Officers positioned at pinch points, ride entrances, show exits and food areas, keeping movement smooth at peak times.
Calm handling of queue disputes, intoxicated guests and anyone whose behaviour is spoiling other people’s day.
Supporting operations staff at ride queues and restricted areas, keeping guests out of maintenance zones and behind barriers.
Traffic direction and parking patrols at open and close, when vehicle break ins and arrival crushes happen.
Protection for rides, equipment, retail stock and cash when the attraction is closed.
Attractions are all different and seasons change everything. Tell us your layout and calendar and we will build staffing around them.
An attraction security officer spends the day among families having fun, and has to stay alert through it. The job is visible, friendly presence, with the training to switch into procedure the moment something happens.
On a typical operating day, one of our Los Angeles attraction security officers will:
What an attraction officer must never do is treat a guest like a suspect in front of their children. Almost every situation at a family attraction is solved by someone friendly getting there early.
Los Angeles has a large seasonal attraction economy, and seasonal events are a completely different staffing problem from a venue that opens every day.
Comparison point | Year Round Attractions | Seasonal and Pop Up Events |
Staffing pattern | Stable team, predictable rota | Large surge for six to ten weeks |
Officer familiarity | Officers learn the site deeply | Must be briefed fast and in volume |
Peak risk | School holidays and weekends | Every single operating night |
Crowd profile | Families across the day | Older evening crowds, higher intensity |
Common issues | Lost children, queue disputes, parking | Queue pressure, intoxication, scare actor safety |
Planning lead time | Rota planned by season | Must be booked months ahead to secure officers |
Year round attractions need a consistent team who know the layout, the staff and the quiet corners, with extra cover for holidays and peak weekends.
Seasonal and haunted attractions need a large, well briefed team at short notice for a compressed run, where every night is a peak night and queue pressure is constant.
Seasonal operators should book early. The officers worth having are committed well before October. For one off events rather than operating attractions, see our event security page.

Indoor venues with arcades, play areas, parties and constant child traffic.
Sites where crowds, swimwear and limited visibility make supervision harder.
Intense seasonal runs with evening crowds and long queues.
Temporary installations with timed entry and valuable set pieces.
Large open sites with animals, school groups and multiple exits.
Attractions operating inside working production facilities.
Active venues with injuries, waivers and parent supervision issues.
Temporary midways with cash, rides and night crowds.
Cultural venues with family programming and school visits.
Outdoor sites with parking, alcohol in some cases and late closing.
Vehicle based events with traffic management as the main risk.
We provide theme park and attraction security across Los Angeles County, including:
Attraction staffing fails when officers arrive late on your busiest day. If you are comparing security companies in Los Angeles, ask how many officers they can guarantee on a peak Saturday and how far in advance a seasonal run must be booked.
We staff from the surrounding area wherever possible, which matters most for seasonal events running six nights a week, where commute fatigue is what causes no shows in week four.

Not a generic policy. We learn and rehearse yours, because that is the incident that defines your reputation.
Officers trained to screen thoroughly and quickly, so your entry queue does not become the day’s biggest problem.
Friendly, approachable and visible, with the judgment to switch to procedure when needed.
We plan large seasonal teams in advance and brief them consistently, so night twenty runs like night one.
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 are on site at peak times, not reachable only by voicemail.
We do not publish a single hourly figure. A small family entertainment center and a seasonal attraction running six nights a week are very different assignments. Here is what moves the rate.
Staffing is built around expected attendance and the number of gates, queues and restricted areas.
Evening and late closing hours carry a premium because officers are paid more to work them.
Thorough bag checks and prohibited item screening need more officers at the gate.
Large short runs cost more per hour than steady year round coverage, because recruiting and briefing happen all at once.
Lot patrols and traffic direction add positions at open and close.
Protecting rides, stock and cash after hours adds an overnight post or patrol visits.
What we do commit to: one flat hourly rate quoted in writing before you sign, no administrative add ons, and no charge for the planning work. For seasonal runs we agree the full staffing plan in advance so you are not bidding for officers in week one.
Call +1 714-760-5385 or request a quote online. We walk the attraction, review attendance patterns and look at your gate, queues and exits.
You receive officer positions, timings and a flat hourly rate, plus agreed procedures for lost children and prohibited items.
We brief officers on your procedures and layout, and coverage begins, typically within 24 hours.
No long term contract is required. Whether you operate year round or run a seasonal event, both are fine, and seasonal clients get the same core team returning each year wherever possible.
Entry screening and bag checks, queue and crowd flow management, lost child response, guest conduct and de escalation, support for ride operations, parking and traffic coverage, and overnight protection.
We train on your procedure. Typically that means securing exits, alerting all staff immediately, searching to a pattern, keeping the family with a named officer and documenting everything once the child is reunited.
Yes. Seasonal runs need large teams briefed consistently and booked well in advance. We plan the full staffing schedule before the run starts rather than recruiting week by week.
Yes, to your prohibited items policy, and trained to keep the line moving so screening does not create a crowd problem of its own.
Not with the right officers. We select for approachable and friendly, because visitors are paying for a good day out and most should barely notice security until they need help.
It depends on attendance, operating hours, screening level, seasonal surge, parking duties and overnight needs. We quote one flat hourly rate in writing.
Yes. Every officer holds a current BSIS guard card, verified before assignment. We operate under PPO # 121614.
Yes. We provide overnight officers or patrol visits to protect rides, equipment, retail stock and cash when the attraction is closed.
Tell us about your attraction, your peak days and your seasonal plans. We will recommend staffing, quote a flat hourly rate in writing and brief officers on your procedures before they start. Free assessment, no obligation.
