Rooted in El Segundo
We know El Segundo block by block
El Segundo packs an aerospace, defense, and technology economy into five and a half square miles between LAX and Manhattan Beach, and Americal Patrol officers work both sides of the city. We cover the corporate and industrial campuses on the east side near the 105 and Aviation Boulevard, the compact downtown along Main Street, and the shoreline industry around the Chevron refinery. As a security company in El Segundo, we time our rounds to the local pattern, the daytime corporate density east of Sepulveda, the evening quiet downtown, and the round-the-clock activity along the refinery and rail corridors.

Local Coverage
El Segundo 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.
Los Angeles Air Force Base
Los Angeles Air Force Base on Aviation Boulevard houses Space Systems Command, the military's space-acquisition headquarters. Americal Patrol covers the commercial and office properties surrounding the base, running marked-vehicle rounds on the lots and entrances of the contractor buildings nearby.
Mattel World Headquarters
Mattel runs its global headquarters from a campus on Continental Boulevard and is one of El Segundo's largest employers. We provide overnight and weekend coverage for corporate campuses like this, checking garages, lobbies, and perimeter doors during the long off-hours.
UCLA Health Training Center
The UCLA Health Training Center on Mariposa Avenue is the Lakers practice facility. Americal Patrol handles event-edge and after-hours coverage for sports and corporate facilities, posting officers where access control and parking need a visible presence.
Downtown El Segundo
Downtown El Segundo centers on Main Street and the Civic Center, with City Hall, the police station, and the historic core. We patrol the downtown storefronts, restaurants, and public lots on foot and by vehicle, keeping the small-business stretch covered after closing.
Plaza El Segundo and The Point
Plaza El Segundo and its open-air sister center The Point sit at Sepulveda Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue and draw shoppers from across the South Bay. Americal Patrol runs lot coverage and roving checks for retail centers like these, focused on the parking structures and the late-closing restaurants.
Chevron El Segundo Refinery
The Chevron refinery covers roughly a thousand acres along Santa Monica Bay and gave the city its name. We support the industrial neighbors of large facilities like this with perimeter patrols and gate checks on the surrounding commercial and rail-adjacent properties.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions El Segundo property owners ask us most.
How much is a security guard in El Segundo?
Pricing depends on your coverage hours and whether you add a marked patrol vehicle for a larger El Segundo campus or corridor. We charge no setup fees. Call (805) 515-3834 for a quote matched to your hours, whether that is an east-side corporate campus or a downtown storefront on Main Street.
Do you provide security for corporate and aerospace campuses?
Yes. The east side of El Segundo is dense with corporate, aerospace, and tech campuses, and after-hours coverage of garages, lobbies, and perimeters is a core part of our work here. We coordinate with facility and property managers on access control and reporting.
Can you cover retail like Plaza El Segundo and The Point?
We do. Open-air retail centers need eyes on the parking structures and the restaurants that close late, so we combine vehicle patrols with posted officers and tie our reporting back to center management.
How soon can you start in El Segundo?
Most El Segundo properties can be staffed within a day or two, faster for urgent needs. Call (805) 515-3834 and we will walk the site, map the entrances and the off-hours risk, and build the schedule before the first shift.
