Rooted in Paramount
We know Paramount block by block
Paramount packs a heavy industrial base and dense residential blocks into roughly 4.8 square miles of southeastern Los Angeles County, and our officers work it daily, from the asphalt refinery and forging works on Adams Street to retail strung along Paramount Boulevard and family streets north and south of Somerset. The I-710 runs the western edge, the I-105 clips the north, and Rosecrans, Alondra, and Downey Avenue carry the through traffic. That is why our security guards in Paramount time each route to the real risks on each block, not a generic loop.

Local Coverage
Paramount 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.
LA Kings Iceland at Paramount
This public ice rink opened in 1940 and is recognized as the birthplace of the Zamboni ice resurfacer, now home to a Zamboni museum and owned by the LA Kings and AEG. Our officers provide lot coverage and foot patrol here during public sessions and events, keeping the parking areas and entrances orderly as skaters come and go.
Carlton Forge Works
This aerospace and industrial forging plant was founded in 1929 and remains headquartered in Paramount, turning out seamless rolled rings and precision forgings. We run overnight vehicle checks across the yard and perimeter here, covering gates and access points on the industrial blocks near Adams Street.
Paramount Drive-In Theatres
This twin-screen drive-in runs two 75-foot screens with room for about 850 cars and is one of the few outdoor theaters left in Los Angeles County, sited along Rosecrans Avenue. Our officers handle after-hours rounds through the lot and along the Rosecrans frontage, managing traffic flow and keeping the rows calm on busy show nights.
Paramount Swap Meet
This large open-air marketplace sits just off Paramount Boulevard and draws steady weekend crowds of vendors and shoppers. We keep a posted officer at the entrances and work foot patrol through the aisles, providing crowd control and a visible presence across the grounds.
Progress Park
This roughly 9-acre city park off Downey Avenue offers community-center space, playgrounds, and lighted ball diamonds and basketball courts. Our officers patrol the fields, courts, and parking areas here, covering evening programs and youth events when the lights are on.
Paramount City Hall
This is the seat of the City of Paramount's municipal government, anchoring the downtown civic core on Colorado Avenue. We cover the perimeter and grounds around the civic buildings, providing standing officers and access control for meetings and public events.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Paramount property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Paramount?
The cost depends on the type of service you need, how many hours of coverage you want, and the size of the property we are securing. An armed post, a mobile patrol route, and a standing officer at a gate each carry different staffing. There are no setup fees. Call us at (805) 515-3834 for a free consultation and a custom quote built for your Paramount site.
Do you patrol residential and HOA streets in Paramount?
Yes. We run marked-vehicle and foot patrol through Paramount's residential pockets, from the blocks north and south of Somerset to the Hynes and Clearwater areas and mobile-home communities like Friendly Village. Officers can log stops, check gates and common areas, and respond to after-hours calls, and we tune the route and timing to the streets and risks your neighborhood actually sees.
Do you provide security for Paramount's industrial and manufacturing sites?
Yes. Paramount has a heavy industrial base, from the asphalt refinery to forging plants like Carlton Forge Works and the warehouse and manufacturing rows around them. We provide gate and access control, mobile and foot patrol, standing officers, and overnight perimeter checks for industrial and warehouse clients, plus incident documentation so you have a clear record of every shift.
Can I choose armed or unarmed guards in Paramount?
Yes. Americal Patrol provides both armed and unarmed uniformed officers, and we help you match the right level to your property and risk. A retail counter or an HOA street often calls for a visible unarmed presence, while a refinery gate or a cash-handling site may warrant an armed officer. We are licensed in California under PPO-9557 and have served the area since 1986. Call (805) 515-3834 to talk it through.
