Rooted in Maywood
We know Maywood block by block
Maywood packs a dense residential grid into just 1.18 square miles of the Gateway Cities, one of the most crowded corners of Los Angeles County. Our officers work it daily, from the retail along the Atlantic Boulevard corridor to the Slauson Avenue storefronts where the two thoroughfares meet, out to the industrial rows and channelized Los Angeles River on the east side. The rounds we run for a packed apartment block differ from a riverside warehouse, because a good security company in Maywood times each route to the real risks on that street.

Local Coverage
Maywood 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.
Maywood City Hall
Maywood City Hall is the seat of the city government, housing administrative offices and council chambers on Slauson Avenue in the central part of the city. We keep a posted officer for council meetings and public events here and check the building and its lot after hours.
Maywood Riverfront Park
Maywood Riverfront Park sits along the Los Angeles River on the remediated former Pemaco plant site, with children's play areas, basketball courts, and a link to the L.A. River Greenway bike path. Our officers run overnight checks of the play areas, courts, and Greenway access points to keep the park quiet after closing.
Maywood Park and Activities Center (M.A.C.)
Maywood Park is the city's main recreation complex, with its on-site Activities Center, an aquatics center run by the Southeast-Rio Vista YMCA, a Dodgers Dreamfield ballfield, and children's play areas. We handle after-hours rounds of the fields, pool deck, and parking so the grounds stay secure between programs.
Maywood Towne Center (Food 4 Less)
This neighborhood shopping center is anchored by a Food 4 Less supermarket at the Slauson Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard node, where the city's two main thoroughfares meet. Our officers provide lot coverage and a visible retail presence through the busy shopping hours and at closing.
Maywood Academy High School
Maywood Academy High School is a Los Angeles Unified secondary campus serving roughly 1,100 students in the city. We cover the perimeter and adjacent streets during arrival, dismissal, and evening events to keep the campus edge orderly.
Atlantic Boulevard commercial corridor
Atlantic Boulevard is the primary north-south commercial corridor through Maywood, lined with retail and small businesses and serving as the main route toward Interstate 710. Our marked vehicles patrol the corridor and its side lots, giving storefronts a steady presence through the day and overnight.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Maywood property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Maywood?
The cost depends on the type of service you need, whether armed or unarmed, how many coverage hours you want, and the size of your property. A gated apartment block on a quiet street and a busy retail center on Atlantic Boulevard call for different staffing, so we price each site to its real needs. There are no setup fees. Call (805) 515-3834 for a free consultation and a custom quote.
Do you patrol Maywood's residential streets and HOA properties?
Yes. Maywood is one of the most densely populated cities in the county, and much of it is packed residential blocks. Our marked vehicles run scheduled patrols of apartment complexes, HOA communities, and side streets off the Atlantic and Slauson corridors, with officers checking gates, lots, and common areas and logging each pass. We adjust the timing and frequency to the pattern of activity on your block.
Can you cover industrial and warehouse sites on Maywood's east side?
Yes. The east side of Maywood, along the channelized Los Angeles River, holds most of the city's industrial uses, and many residents commute to the adjacent industrial cities of Vernon and Commerce. We provide standing officers, gate and access control, and marked-vehicle patrols for warehouses, yards, and industrial lots, covering perimeters and loading areas after hours and on weekends.
Do you offer both armed and unarmed guards in Maywood?
Yes. We staff both armed and unarmed uniformed officers, and the right choice depends on your site and its risk profile. A retail storefront or an apartment community is often well served by a visible unarmed officer or a marked patrol vehicle, while some industrial or higher-risk sites prefer an armed presence. We will walk your property, talk through the risks, and recommend the fit during a free consultation.
