I can describe our experience in working with Americal Patrol, Inc. as exceptional. Through the many years Sam Alarcon, Vice President and his guards have been consistently reliable, responsive, caring, and professional. I highly recommend them.

Rooted in Simi Valley
We know Simi Valley block by block
Simi Valley runs east to west along the SR-118 Ronald Reagan Freeway, and Americal Patrol's officers know how its retail centers and business parks empty out after the commute thins. We patrol the Los Angeles Avenue corridor, the Cochran Street shopping strips, and the Tapo Canyon business district, and we know which lots stay busy past closing. That local knowledge lets us build a patrol route shaped around your Simi Valley property instead of a generic template.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Simi Valley property owners ask us most.
How much does security guard service cost in Simi Valley?
Cost depends on whether you need foot patrol, a stationed guard, or mobile patrol, plus your coverage hours and property size. Many Simi Valley businesses along the East Los Angeles Avenue corridor near Mountain Gate Plaza control costs with a scheduled patrol model rather than a full-time stationed guard. The best way to get an accurate number is a free consultation.
Do you patrol the Simi Valley Town Center and Costco Wholesale areas?
Yes. We patrol commercial properties and businesses throughout those areas, including the corridor around the Simi Valley Town Center off the Ronald Reagan Freeway and the commercial district near Costco Wholesale along Park Center Drive, covering client parking lots and grounds during the peak evenings, weekends, and after-hours periods when foot traffic is highest.
Can you provide overnight security for Simi Valley business parks and warehouses?
Yes. We staff overnight patrol and after-hours perimeter coverage for the industrial parks, warehouses, and distribution centers along the Tapo Canyon and Cochran Street corridors, with timed checkpoint verification and incident reporting suitable for property managers and corporate clients.
Can I get armed security in Simi Valley?
Yes, we provide both armed and unarmed officers. Our free consultation includes a risk assessment so we can recommend the right level of coverage for your Simi Valley property.
