Rooted in Altadena
We know Altadena block by block
Altadena climbs into the San Gabriel foothills above Pasadena, and Americal Patrol officers know this unincorporated ground, from the storefronts along Lake Avenue downtown to the revitalized stretch of Lincoln Avenue. Our security guard services in Altadena cover the hillside homes off Mount Curve Avenue, the historic blocks of Mariposa Street, and the rebuilding neighborhoods near Altadena Drive. We time our rounds to the rhythms that shape this town, the early commuter pull down toward the 210 and the quiet overnight hours on Santa Rosa Avenue, where wildfire recovery is still underway.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Altadena property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Altadena?
Americal Patrol prices each Altadena job to the coverage it needs, the hours, the property size, and whether you add a marked patrol vehicle, with no setup fees. Whether you need overnight coverage for a hillside home off Mount Curve Avenue or storefront checks along Lake Avenue, the pricing stays flat and transparent once we scope it. Call (805) 515-3834 for a quote on residential security in Altadena.
Which parts of Altadena do you patrol?
We cover Altadena end to end, from West Altadena and the Lincoln Avenue corridor to East Altadena and the foothill blocks near Altadena Drive. Our officers run rounds through Janes Village, La Vina, The Meadows, Loma Alta, and the historic homes along Mariposa Street, with marked patrol vehicle coverage available across the unincorporated community.
Do you provide HOA and residential security in Altadena?
Yes. HOA security in Altadena is a core part of what we do, from gated communities like La Vina to the hillside cul-de-sacs and shared driveways of the foothill tracts. We set up scheduled vehicle patrols, vacant-property checks for rebuilding lots, and visible overnight rounds tailored to your association's streets. Call (805) 515-3834 to build a residential security plan.
Do you offer armed guards in Altadena?
We staff most Altadena posts with licensed unarmed officers, which fits the great majority of residential, HOA, and commercial sites in the Foothills area. When a property's risk profile calls for it, we can discuss armed coverage during your consultation. Either way, every Americal Patrol officer works under California PPO-9557 and is trained for foothill-community patrol.
