Rooted in Covina
We know Covina block by block
Covina sits in the eastern San Gabriel Valley, about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, framed by the I-210 to the north, the I-605 to the west, and the SR-57 to the east. Our officers work it daily, from the big-box retail along South Barranca Avenue to the Old Town core around Citrus Avenue and the healthcare corridor near San Bernardino Road. As a security company in Covina, we time every patrol to the real risks on each block, because a storefront and a hospital parking deck never carry the same ones.

Local Coverage
Covina 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.
Covina City Hall
The seat of Covina's municipal government, housing the City Council chambers and city departments in the downtown Old Town core. Our officers handle after-hours rounds here along with gate and access control, keeping the civic buildings and their lots secure once staff have left for the day.
Emanate Health Inter-Community Hospital
A full-service acute-care hospital just west of downtown that is one of Covina's largest employers, drawing round-the-clock staff and visitor traffic. We run overnight checks on the parking structures and building perimeter so late-shift workers and patients move through a monitored campus.
IKEA Covina
A large home-furnishings store off Interstate 10 on South Barranca Avenue that draws regional shoppers throughout the week. Our uniformed officers provide lot coverage and perimeter patrol across the retail apron, watching the parking fields where crowds and vehicles concentrate.
Covina station (Metrolink San Bernardino Line)
A city-owned Metrolink commuter-rail station on the San Bernardino Line at Citrus Avenue and Front Street, with adjacent park-and-ride parking structures. Our officers patrol those parking decks and the platform area, timing marked-vehicle passes to the early-morning and evening commuter rush.
Covina Center for the Performing Arts
A downtown performing-arts theater rebuilt from the historic 1920 Covina Theater, acquired by the City in 2022 to anchor the Citrus Avenue cultural district. On show nights we keep a posted officer on site and provide crowd control and venue security as audiences arrive and clear out.
Covina Park
Covina's central municipal park a few blocks northwest of City Hall, with an aquatic center, bandshell, sports fields, and tennis and basketball courts. Our officers cover the perimeter on foot patrol and run closing checks so the grounds and lots stay orderly after evening programs.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Covina property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Covina?
The cost depends on the type of service, how many coverage hours you need, and the size of the property, so an armed post at a hospital campus and a few overnight passes at a small lot price out differently. We charge no setup fees. Call (805) 515-3834 for a free consultation and a custom quote built around your Covina property.
Do you patrol HOA and residential streets in Covina?
Yes. We run marked-vehicle and foot patrol for HOAs and residential communities across Covina, from the Old Town blocks near Citrus Avenue to the Covina Hills and Charter Oak areas that carry Covina addresses. Officers make timed passes, check gates and common areas, document anything unusual, and can respond to alarms or after-hours calls. We tailor the route and timing to each community's layout and risk pattern.
Do you provide security for retail and downtown businesses in Covina?
Yes. We cover commercial and retail sites throughout Covina, including the big-box corridor along South Barranca Avenue and the storefronts and restaurants of Old Town around Citrus Avenue and the Metrolink station. Our officers provide standing or posted coverage, lot and perimeter patrol, gate and access control, and incident documentation. We also staff crowd control and venue security for downtown events when businesses or the City need extra coverage.
Can I choose armed or unarmed guards in Covina?
Yes. We provide both armed and unarmed uniformed officers, and we help you match the right level to the site, an unarmed presence for a residential gate or retail lot, or an armed officer where the property or hours call for it. Americal Patrol is licensed in California as PPO-9557 and has served the region since 1986. Call (805) 515-3834 and we can usually schedule a start quickly once the scope is set.
