In Simi Valley, demand for event security is driven by a predominantly residential Ventura County community and HOA and gated-community demand. The sectors that most rely on this service include residential, light industrial, retail, with specific needs in areas such as the master-planned residential neighborhoods, the light-industrial pockets, the business parks.

Read the event security buyer's guidePrivate 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 Simi Valley 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).
Simi Valley scores 87/100 on our Crime Index (grade B), which makes it safer than 86% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 125,637.
