Rooted in Lakewood
We know Lakewood block by block
Lakewood is a planned postwar suburb in the Gateway Cities, built so fast in 1949 that a new house was finished about every few minutes, and Americal Patrol officers know its long grid of tract streets well. We cover the retail around Lakewood Center at Lakewood and Del Amo Boulevards, the civic core on Clark Avenue, and the residential blocks through Mayfair and Carson Park. As a security company in Lakewood, we build routes around the way the city actually moves, the mall traffic on Del Amo, the park crowds on weekends, and the quiet residential streets that need a marked car after dark.

Local Coverage
Lakewood 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.
Lakewood Center
Lakewood Center is a super-regional mall at the northeast corner of Lakewood and Del Amo Boulevards and one of the largest enclosed shopping centers in the country. Americal Patrol runs lot coverage, overnight checks, and after-hours rounds for the standalone retail pads, restaurants, and commercial buildings around the center.
Lakewood Civic Center
The Lakewood Civic Center on Clark Avenue holds City Hall, the Iacoboni Library, the Centre event venue, and the sheriff station. We patrol the public buildings, parking, and event venue in this complex, scaling coverage up when the Centre hosts a function.
Angelo M. Iacoboni Library
The Iacoboni Library sits within the Civic Center on Clark Avenue. Americal Patrol folds the library grounds and parking into the civic-core rounds, keeping a visible presence through the evening hours when the lots empty out.
Mayfair Park
Mayfair Park at Clark Avenue and South Street is one of Lakewood's flagship recreation sites, with a pool, ball fields, and courts. We cover community parks like this with roving checks on the lots, restrooms, and field areas, the spots that draw after-hours loitering once programs end.
Rynerson Park
Rynerson Park is a roughly 40-acre park on Studebaker Road along the San Gabriel River, tied into the river bike path. Americal Patrol patrols the trail access, picnic areas, and lots here, watching the river-path edge where a park backs onto an open corridor.
Lakewood Country Club
Lakewood Country Club is a historic 18-hole course on Carson Street in the south of the city. We provide perimeter and clubhouse-area coverage for properties like this, where a large open ground needs eyes on the gates and the parking after play ends.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Lakewood property owners ask us most.
What does it cost to hire a security guard in Lakewood?
Cost depends on your exact coverage hours and whether you add a marked patrol vehicle for wider coverage and stronger deterrence on a large Lakewood site. There are no setup fees. Call (805) 515-3834 for a quote built around your exact hours, from a retail pad near Lakewood Center to an HOA street in Carson Park.
Do you patrol HOA and residential streets in Lakewood?
Yes. Lakewood is mostly single-family tract neighborhoods, and marked-vehicle patrols through areas like Mayfair, Carson Park, and Lakewood Park are a core part of what we do here. We vary timing and routes so the coverage does not become predictable.
Can you cover retail centers like Lakewood Center?
We cover shopping centers and the standalone pads around them with lot patrols, overnight checks, and posted officers where foot traffic or theft pressure calls for a fixed presence. We coordinate with center management on access and incident reporting.
How quickly can you staff a Lakewood property?
Most Lakewood sites can be covered within a day or two, sooner for emergencies. Call (805) 515-3834 and we will walk the property, identify the entrances and problem hours, and set the schedule before officers start.
