Rooted in Cerritos
We know Cerritos block by block
Cerritos sits on the Los Angeles and Orange County line, where State Route 91 splits the city, Interstate 605 runs the west edge, and Interstate 5 grazes the northeast corner. Our officers work it daily, from the regional retail along the freeways and the dealership rows of the SR-91 corridor to the light-manufacturing bays of the city's industrial districts. As a security company in Cerritos, we time each route to the real risks at every stop, because a dealership lot and a quiet residential street never call for the same rounds.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Cerritos property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Cerritos?
The cost depends on the type of service, how many coverage hours you need, and the size of the property, so a small overnight lot and a full-time retail post never price the same. We charge no setup fees. Call us at (805) 515-3834 for a free consultation and a custom quote built around your Cerritos site.
Do you patrol HOA and residential streets in Cerritos?
Yes. We run marked-vehicle and foot patrol through Cerritos HOA communities and master-planned tracts off Bloomfield Avenue, Studebaker Road and Norwalk Boulevard, with scheduled and randomized rounds, gate and access control, and written incident reports after every shift. We adjust the timing to your community's real problem hours instead of running a fixed loop.
Can you cover retail centers and auto dealerships in Cerritos?
Yes. Retail and auto-retail sites are a core part of what we do here, from regional shopping centers and neighborhood retail to the dealership lots along the SR-91 corridor. We provide uniformed guards, lot and perimeter coverage, overnight marked-vehicle patrol and access control, and we can post standing officers during peak hours and special sales events.
Do you offer both armed and unarmed guards in Cerritos?
Yes. Americal Patrol is a licensed California security provider, PPO 9557, founded in 1986, and we staff both armed and unarmed uniformed officers across Los Angeles County. We help you match the coverage to your risk, whether that is a visible unarmed presence for a retail plaza or armed officers for a higher-risk industrial or event site. Call (805) 515-3834 to talk it through.
