Before you hire
Cargo theft hit an estimated $725M in 2025, and thieves are back to stealing whole trailers from yards. Here's how to secure a warehouse or distribution center — access control, patrol, cameras, LPR — and what it costs.
Read the warehouse & industrial 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 Fontana 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).
Fontana scores 79/100 on our Crime Index (grade B), which makes it safer than 66% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 220,837.
