Rooted in Arcadia
We know Arcadia block by block
Arcadia centers on Santa Anita Park and The Shops at Santa Anita, with the Los Angeles County Arboretum, a historic Downtown along Huntington Drive, and residential districts like Santa Anita Oaks and Baldwin Stocker. Americal Patrol officers know how the racetrack and mall draw event and weekend crowds, how Downtown Arcadia runs its retail hours, and how the residential neighborhoods stay quiet block by block. That local knowledge lets us shape a patrol route around your property, not a generic citywide template.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Arcadia property owners ask us most.
How much does security guard service cost in Arcadia?
Cost depends on whether you need foot patrol, a stationed guard, or mobile patrol, plus your coverage hours, property size, and risk level. Many Arcadia businesses around Santa Anita, the mall, and Downtown control costs with a scheduled patrol model rather than a full-time stationed guard. Our unarmed rate starts at $31 per hour. The best way to get an accurate number is a free consultation.
Do you provide security for retail at The Shops at Santa Anita and Downtown Arcadia?
Yes. We provide foot patrol and mobile coverage for the storefronts, parking structures, and commercial properties around The Shops at Santa Anita and Downtown Arcadia, with extra foot coverage during the peak evenings and weekends when crowds run highest.
Can you provide event and crowd security near Santa Anita Park?
Yes. Santa Anita Park draws large race-day and event crowds, and we staff perimeter patrol, parking coverage, and crowd management for commercial properties and event lots around the track. Coverage scales to the size of the event.
Can I get armed security in Arcadia?
Yes, we provide both armed and unarmed officers. Our free consultation includes a risk assessment so we can recommend the right level of coverage for your Arcadia property.
