Rooted in Highland Park
We know Highland Park block by block
Highland Park sits in Northeast Los Angeles, roughly 3.4 square miles of Craftsman and Victorian blocks under ZIP 90042, with commerce packed onto two walkable storefront corridors, York Boulevard running east to west and North Figueroa Street running north to south. The Arroyo Seco Parkway skirts its southeastern edge, and the Metro A Line light rail cuts through by Avenue 57. As a security company in Highland Park, our officers work these corridors, the residential side streets, and the transit edge daily, and we time each route to the real risks at that spot.

Local Coverage
Highland Park 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.
Highland Park station (Metro A Line)
A Metro A Line light rail station serving the neighborhood, sitting one block north of North Figueroa Street at Avenue 57. Our officers run foot patrol around the platform edge and the adjacent walkways to keep the transit approach settled.
Highland Theatre
A mid-1920s Moorish and Spanish Colonial Revival movie palace on North Figueroa Street, designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 549. For screenings and venue events we keep a posted officer at the entrance and manage crowd flow along the sidewalk.
Los Angeles Police Museum (former Highland Park Police Station)
Housed in the former Highland Park Police Station built in 1925 and 1926, the city's oldest surviving police station, it now runs as a museum of LAPD history on York Boulevard. We handle after-hours rounds and lock checks around the building once the exhibits close.
Sycamore Grove Park
A roughly 15-acre City of Los Angeles park along the Arroyo Seco, home to the historic Sousa-Hiner Bandshell and the adjacent Ramona Hall Community Center. Our team patrols the grounds on foot and provides standing officers for bandshell events and community gatherings.
Benjamin Franklin High School
An LAUSD high school founded in 1916 that has served Highland Park for over a century. We cover the perimeter and the parking areas with marked-vehicle patrol during after-hours and weekend closures.
Arroyo Seco Regional Branch Library
A Los Angeles Public Library regional branch on North Figueroa Street. We run overnight checks on the entrances and provide lot coverage so the grounds stay secure between open hours.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Highland Park property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Highland Park?
The cost depends on the type of service you need, how many coverage hours you want, and the size of the property. A residential block on the Garvanza side and a York Boulevard storefront call for different plans, so we build each quote to the site. There are no setup fees. Call (805) 515-3834 for a free consultation and a custom quote.
Do you patrol HOA and residential streets in Highland Park?
Yes. Highland Park is mostly residential, with Craftsman and Victorian blocks protected under the Highland Park-Garvanza historic overlay. We provide HOA and residential patrol with marked vehicles and foot patrol, running scheduled and randomized rounds across the side streets off York Boulevard and North Figueroa Street. Officers document each pass and log anything out of place so your board has a clear record.
Do you cover the York Boulevard and North Figueroa retail corridors?
Yes. Those two walkable storefront strips are where most of the neighborhood's businesses sit, so we handle retail and commercial security along both. That includes standing officers, foot patrol between storefronts, lot and perimeter coverage, and access control for after-hours deliveries. For special events and sidewalk sales we add crowd control and venue coverage sized to the day.
Do you offer both armed and unarmed guards in Highland Park?
Yes. We provide both armed and unarmed uniformed officers and help you choose based on the property and its risk level. Many Highland Park residential and retail accounts run well with unarmed guards backed by marked-vehicle patrol, while some industrial or higher-risk posts call for armed coverage. Americal Patrol is licensed under California PPO-9557, and we walk each site before recommending an approach.
