Redding is the commercial and healthcare center of far-northern California, anchoring Shasta County's retail, medical, and services economy. Regional hospitals, shopping centers, and a large dispersed rural service area drive demand for healthcare officers, retail loss prevention, and mobile patrol, while recurring wildfire seasons add evacuation-area patrol and rebuild-site security.
The providers below are ranked on merit, but the final check is yours. Work through these four steps before you sign anything in Redding:
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 Redding 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).
Redding scores 51/100 on our Crime Index (grade D), which makes it safer than 17% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 93,429.
