Rooted in Lomita
We know Lomita block by block
Lomita fits about 20,900 residents into roughly 1.9 square miles of the South Bay, and our officers work it daily, from the storefront run along the Pacific Coast Highway commercial corridor to the residential blocks off Narbonne Avenue and the civic center near Lomita Boulevard. With no freeway through the city, everything moves on surface arterials like PCH and Western Avenue, which shapes how security guards in Lomita plan their rounds. A PCH retail pad and a quiet residential street get very different routes, because we time each to the real risks there.

Local Coverage
Lomita 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.
Lomita Railroad Museum
A City of Lomita railroad museum founded by Irene Lewis and opened in 1967, displaying a 1902 Baldwin-built Southern Pacific Mogul steam locomotive plus vintage cabooses and railcars on grounds that double as a small public park. Our officers patrol the museum grounds and adjoining park paths, watching the open-air rolling stock and visitor lot during events and after closing.
Lomita City Hall
The seat of Lomita's municipal government, part of the city's civic center complex on Narbonne Avenue. We keep a posted officer at the civic center and run overnight checks on the parking areas and building entrances when the offices are closed.
Lomita Park
The city's main municipal park, roughly seven acres on Eshelman Avenue with sports facilities, a playground, and the Stephenson Center recreation building. Our team handles after-hours rounds of the fields, playground, and lot, and provides standing coverage for scheduled events at the center.
Target (Lomita)
A small-format Target at the signalized intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Narbonne Avenue, the city's busiest retail node alongside Grocery Outlet, Dollar Tree, and WSS. We provide lot coverage and foot patrol across this PCH retail corner, keeping eyes on the entrances, carts, and shared parking through peak hours.
Nishiyamato Academy of California
A private Japanese international day school serving pre-kindergarten through grade nine on Lomita Boulevard, a campus it has occupied since 2000. Our officers cover the campus perimeter and manage gate and access control at arrival and dismissal, keeping the drop-off flow orderly.
Lomita Library
A branch of the LA County Library, dedicated in 1976 as part of the civic center on Narbonne Avenue. We run marked-vehicle patrol past the library and its lot on our civic-center rounds and respond to after-hours alarm calls at the building.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Lomita property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Lomita?
The cost of security in Lomita depends on the type of service, the number of coverage hours, and the size and layout of your property. A gated residential street, a Pacific Coast Highway storefront, and a construction site each call for a different plan, so we build every quote around your 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 Lomita?
Yes. Lomita is overwhelmingly residential, and we run marked-vehicle and foot patrol for HOAs and private streets across neighborhoods like Lomita Pines and Vista Verde. Officers make timed passes through the postwar cottage and ranch blocks off Narbonne and Lomita Boulevard, check gates and common areas, and log each round so your board sees exactly what was covered.
Do you cover businesses along the Pacific Coast Highway corridor?
Yes. The Pacific Coast Highway corridor is Lomita's main commercial spine, from the Target and Grocery Outlet corner at Narbonne to the smaller storefronts and strip retail along the highway. We provide uniformed guards, lot and perimeter coverage, and foot patrol for retail, and we can post an officer or run mobile patrol for industrial and warehouse sites just off PCH.
Can I get armed or unarmed guards in Lomita?
Both. We staff licensed unarmed and armed uniformed officers, and we match the choice to your risk and setting. A residential HOA or a retail storefront is often well served by a visible unarmed presence, while a higher-exposure industrial or warehouse site may call for armed coverage. Americal Patrol is licensed in California under PPO-9557, and we will walk the options with you during a free consultation.
