Rooted in Duarte
We know Duarte block by block
Duarte runs along the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in the San Gabriel Valley, about 6.7 square miles where the 210 crosses east to west and the 605 reaches its northern end at the Irwindale border. Huntington Drive, the old Route 66, carries the commercial corridor, while City of Hope anchors the southern edge and quiet single-family streets fill in the rest. As a security company in Duarte, our officers work these blocks daily, and we time every route to the real risks of each address.

Local Coverage
Duarte 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.
City of Hope National Medical Center
An NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, research hospital, and graduate school on a campus of over 100 acres, it is Duarte's single largest employer with roughly 10,000 people on site. We can keep a posted officer at controlled entry points and run foot patrol across a campus of this scale, from parking structures to quieter perimeter walkways.
Duarte/City of Hope station
An at-grade Metro A Line light rail station that opened in March 2016 as part of the Gold Line Foothill Extension, at Duarte Road and Highland Avenue across from the City of Hope campus. Our officers patrol the platform approaches and adjacent lots on foot, watching the commuter flow at open and close.
Duarte City Hall
The seat of Duarte's municipal government on the Huntington Drive corridor, the historic Route 66, sharing its site with the Duarte Community Center. We handle after-hours rounds of the civic buildings and shared grounds, checking doors and the community center parking once events wind down.
Mountain Vista Plaza
A Target-anchored retail center on Huntington Drive with roughly 28 tenants, including restaurants and everyday-service businesses. Our officers provide lot coverage and marked-vehicle patrol across the center, timed to closing hours when the parking areas start to empty out.
Encanto Park
An approximately 11-acre City of Duarte park on Encanto Parkway with ballfields, basketball, tennis, and sand-volleyball courts, a nature trail, and picnic facilities. We run overnight checks of the lot and picnic areas and can post an officer for tournaments and other special events.
Rancho Duarte Golf Course
A public nine-hole golf course on the city's north side, open since 1982 and recently rebranded StarX Golf Course at the same location. Our officers cover the perimeter and clubhouse lot after dark, keeping watch on the open fairways that back up to the residential edge.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Duarte property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Duarte?
The cost of security in Duarte depends on the type of service, whether you need armed or unarmed officers, how many coverage hours you want, and the size of the property. There are no setup fees, and we build every quote around your specific site rather than a flat package. Call (805) 515-3834 for a free consultation and a custom quote for your property.
Do you patrol residential and HOA streets in Duarte?
Yes. Most of Duarte outside the Huntington Drive corridor is single-family residential, including neighborhoods like Royal Oaks, Las Lomas, and Hearthstone. We run marked-vehicle and foot patrol on HOA and residential streets, with visible passes, gate and access checks, and incident documentation you can review. Routes are scheduled to the hours when problems actually tend to happen on your streets.
Can you cover commercial property along the Huntington Drive corridor?
Yes. Huntington Drive, the historic Route 66 arterial, carries most of Duarte's retail and commercial sites, including centers like Mountain Vista Plaza. We provide standing officers, marked-vehicle and foot patrol, lot and perimeter coverage, and after-hours checks for retail, office, and mixed-use properties. Each route is timed to your open and close, delivery windows, and the parking areas that need the most attention.
Do you offer both armed and unarmed guards in Duarte?
Yes. Americal Patrol provides both armed and unarmed uniformed officers, and we help you decide based on your property, its risk level, and the presence you want on site. A medical campus, a retail center, and a quiet residential street often call for different staffing. We are licensed in California under PPO-9557, founded in 1986, and serve Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange counties.
