Fairfield sits at the center of Solano County along the I-80 corridor between the Bay Area and Sacramento, with distribution facilities, retail centers, and well-known food and beverage plants among its industrial base. Logistics warehouses, commercial retail, and proximity to Travis Air Force Base drive demand for warehouse guards, retail loss prevention, and commercial mobile patrol.
The providers below are ranked on merit, but the final check is yours. Work through these four steps before you sign anything in Fairfield:
Private security in California is licensed at the state level by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), Department of Consumer Affairs. A legitimate company operating in Fairfield holds a Private Patrol Operator (PPO) license, which means it has cleared California BSIS's ownership, background-check and insurance requirements. Ask for that license number in writing and verify it yourself — a certificate on the wall tells you nothing about current standing, since a license can be suspended or revoked.
Hiring an unlicensed company is a risk you carry. In California, operating without a license is misdemeanor (Cal. Business & Professions Code §7582.3). Operating as an unlicensed private patrol operator (or knowingly engaging a non-exempt unlicensed one) is a misdemeanor punishable by a $5,000 fine, up to one year in county jail, or both; falsely holding oneself out as licensed (badge, ID/business card, letterhead, or advertising) is a separate misdemeanor with a fine up to $10,000, and a conviction bars BSIS licensure for one year (five years on a second offense).
Fairfield scores 60/100 on our Crime Index (grade C), which makes it safer than 26% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 123,346.
