Rooted in Pico Rivera
We know Pico Rivera block by block
Pico Rivera sits in the Gateway Cities of southeastern Los Angeles County, wedged between the Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel River, with Interstate 605 along its southeastern edge and Rosemead Boulevard cutting through the center. Our officers work it daily, from the retail rows at Pico Rivera Towne Center on Washington Boulevard to the light-industrial pockets off Slauson and the residential grid around Passons. As a security company in Pico Rivera, we time each route to the real risks at that address, not a generic template.

Local Coverage
Pico Rivera 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.
Pico Rivera City Hall
The seat of Pico Rivera's municipal government, housing the City Council chambers and administrative offices in the Passons Boulevard civic center. We keep a posted officer at the civic center and handle gate and access control for evening meetings and after-hours activity.
Pico Rivera Sports Arena
A multipurpose arena built in 1979 that seats roughly 5,000 to 6,250 people and is known as the largest Mexican-style rodeo ring in the country, hosting concerts, boxing, and jaripeos. On event days we provide crowd control and venue security, staffing entrances and parking so the arena stays orderly from load-in to last exit.
Pico Rivera Towne Center
A roughly 60-acre open-air shopping center anchored by a Walmart Supercenter and Target, built on the former Ford Motor Company plant that Northrop later used to build the B-2 stealth bomber. Our officers provide lot coverage across the parking fields and run marked-vehicle patrol between the anchors and the pad tenants along Washington Boulevard.
El Rancho High School
The flagship comprehensive high school of the El Rancho Unified School District, the city's largest employer, located on Passons Boulevard near City Hall. After the final bell we handle after-hours rounds across the campus and cover the perimeter around the athletic fields and parking lots.
Pico Rivera Golf Club
A city-owned nine-hole lighted golf course with a clubhouse grill and banquet facilities, built in 1968 on the city's east side near the San Gabriel River. We run overnight checks on the clubhouse, cart barn, and lots so the grounds are secure once the last group finishes the back nine.
Rivera Park
A public park in the historic Rivera district with ball fields, batting cages, a gymnasium, handball courts, and a community center. Our officers patrol the grounds and lots on foot and by vehicle, keeping the fields and community center covered through evening programs and closing.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Pico Rivera property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Pico Rivera?
The cost depends on the type of service, how many coverage hours you need, and the size of your property, so an armed standing post runs differently than overnight mobile patrol. We charge no setup fees and build every quote to the specific site. Call us at (805) 515-3834 for a free consultation and a custom quote for your Pico Rivera property.
Do you patrol HOA and residential streets in Pico Rivera?
Yes. We run marked-vehicle and foot patrol for HOAs and residential neighborhoods across Pico Rivera, from the historic Pico and Rivera districts to the quieter blocks around North Ranchito and Longacres. Officers cover interior streets, alleys, and common areas on a randomized schedule, respond to alarms, and document anything out of place so your board has a clear record. We are licensed under California PPO-9557.
Do you cover retail and industrial sites like the Towne Center and the Slauson corridor?
Yes. We secure commercial and retail properties like the Pico Rivera Towne Center along Washington Boulevard, plus the light-industrial and warehouse pockets off Slauson, Washington, and Rosemead. That means posted officers at entrances, lot and perimeter coverage, gate and access control for loading areas, and alarm response after hours. Coverage is timed to each site's real traffic and risk, not a one-size plan.
Do you offer armed and unarmed guards, and how soon can you start in Pico Rivera?
We provide both armed and unarmed uniformed officers, so you can match the coverage to your site, whether that is a visible unarmed presence at a retail pad or an armed post for a higher-risk location. Because we already serve Los Angeles County alongside Ventura and Orange, we can usually staff a new Pico Rivera site quickly. Call (805) 515-3834 and we will walk the property and set coverage.
