Security consulting in Los Angeles brings an independent, vendor-neutral expert to assess your risk and design the guarding and technology plan before you spend on it.
In Los Angeles, demand for security consulting is driven by a vast entertainment and events economy and the nation's largest port complex and its warehouse belt. The sectors that most rely on this service include entertainment and film studios, port and logistics, high-end retail, with specific needs in areas such as Downtown LA, Hollywood and the studio districts, the port complex at San Pedro and Wilmington. The city's main security concerns — organized retail and smash-and-grab theft and cargo theft around the ports — make working with a licensed, professional provider a priority investment for businesses and homeowners.

Before you hire
What a security consultant does: the risk/threat/vulnerability assessment, the ASIS SRA-2024 standard, deliverables, when to hire one, and what security consulting costs.
Read the security consulting 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 Los Angeles 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.
Specific to Los Angeles: LAMC §52.34 imposes an additional city Private Patrol Service permit/registration (through the Board of Police Commissioners, plus a $15,000 surety bond) on PPOs operating within Los Angeles, on top of the state BSIS PPO license
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).
Los Angeles scores 49/100 on our Crime Index (grade D), which makes it safer than 15% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 3,874,484.
