Rooted in Bell
We know Bell block by block
Bell packs about 34,000 residents into roughly two and a half square miles of southeast Los Angeles County, split by the Los Angeles River and the 710 into a residential Central City to the south and west and the industrial Cheli district to the north and east. Our officers work Atlantic Avenue, the Gage Avenue commercial strip, and the warehouse rows of Cheli Industrial Park. As a security company in Bell, we time each route to the real risks, because a Central City storefront and a Cheli loading dock need very different coverage.

Local Coverage
Bell Landmarks & Districts We Patrol Around
Familiar local knowledge is what separates a Los Angeles County security company from a national one. Our supervisors and patrol officers know these locations by name.
Bell City Hall
Bell City Hall on Pine Avenue is the seat of the city's municipal government and drew national attention during the 2010 salary scandal. We can keep a posted officer at civic sites like this and manage access at the entrances during public meetings and after hours.
James George Bell House
The James George Bell House is an 1876 Victorian farmhouse built by city founder James George Bell, now home to the Bell Chamber of Commerce and a small museum near Pine and Gage Avenues. Our officers run foot patrol around historic properties like this, watching for after-hours trespass and vandalism.
Veterans' Memorial Park
Veterans' Memorial Park off Wilcox Avenue is the city's largest park, an approximately 25-acre site with lighted ballfields, a fishing pond, a skate park, and a splash pad. We run overnight checks on parks and their lots, clearing the grounds after events and at closing time.
Bell Community Center
The Bell Community Center sits next to City Hall on Pine Avenue and hosts classes, community events, and City Council meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays. Our officers handle after-hours rounds at community facilities and cover the parking areas as programs let out.
Bell High School
Bell High School on Bell Avenue is a large Los Angeles Unified campus serving roughly 2,250 students in grades nine through twelve in the Central City. We cover the perimeter of school properties and their lots, staying visible at arrival, dismissal, and evening events.
Cheli area (Cheli Industrial Park)
The Cheli area, also called the Cheli Industrial Park, is Bell's warehousing and light-manufacturing district north of Central City on the former Cheli Air Force Base site. We provide marked-vehicle patrol and lot coverage across industrial parks like this, checking gates, docks, and fence lines through the night.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Bell property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Bell?
Cost depends on the type of service you need, how many hours of coverage you want, and the size of the property. Armed versus unarmed officers, mobile patrol versus a standing post, and daytime versus overnight hours all change the plan. There are no setup fees. Call (805) 515-3834 for a free consultation and a custom quote built for your Bell property.
Do you patrol residential streets and HOAs in Bell?
Yes. We run marked-vehicle and foot patrol for HOAs, apartment communities, and single-family blocks across Central City, from the streets near Bell High School to the neighborhoods off Gage Avenue. Officers make visible passes, check gates and common areas, log each stop, and respond to calls through the night. We build the route around your property's schedule and the specific issues on your block.
Do you cover warehouses in the Cheli Industrial Park?
Yes. The Cheli area is Bell's warehousing and light-manufacturing district, and we cover industrial sites there with marked-vehicle patrol, gate and access control, and standing officers at loading docks. We check fence lines, trailer yards, and after-hours entry points, and we document every round. Whether you run one building or a multi-tenant lot, we time patrols to shift changes and the quiet overnight hours.
Do you offer both armed and unarmed guards in Bell?
Yes. Americal Patrol is licensed under California PPO-9557 and provides both armed and unarmed uniformed officers, along with mobile patrol, foot patrol, standing posts, and special event coverage. Many Bell storefronts and residential communities choose unarmed officers with marked-vehicle patrol, while some industrial sites and larger commercial properties prefer armed coverage. We will walk your property and recommend the right mix during a free consultation.
