Rooted in Torrance
We know Torrance block by block
Torrance anchors the South Bay where the 405 and 110 freeways feed one of the densest industrial and retail bases in Los Angeles County, and Americal Patrol officers run this ground regularly. We cover the warehouse and refinery corridors along 190th Street and Western Avenue, the retail off Hawthorne Boulevard near Del Amo, and the blocks of Old Torrance. As a security company in Torrance, we time our rounds to the rhythms here, the early shift-change at the industrial plants, the mall close on Hawthorne, and the long quiet stretches along Crenshaw Boulevard after dark.

Local Coverage
Torrance 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.
Del Amo Fashion Center
One of the largest shopping centers in the western United States, sitting off the 405 freeway between Hawthorne Boulevard and Carson Street. Americal Patrol provides overnight checks, lot coverage, and after-hours rounds for the standalone retail pads, restaurants, and commercial buildings in the area surrounding Del Amo Fashion Center.
American Honda Motor Co.
Corporate headquarters and campus on Torrance Boulevard near the city's commercial core. We patrol the office parks, professional buildings, and commercial properties in the area around the American Honda campus, with after-hours rounds and parking coverage tuned to the weekday office crowd along the Torrance Boulevard corridor.
Torrance Refinery
A 700-acre oil refinery at the north end of the city along 190th Street, one of the largest industrial sites in the South Bay. Americal Patrol covers the warehouses, truck yards, and industrial properties in the area surrounding the refinery, where heavy-duty traffic and around-the-clock operations call for vehicle-based perimeter checks along 190th Street and Crenshaw Boulevard.
Torrance Municipal Airport (Zamperini Field)
A general-aviation airport in southwest Torrance off Airport Drive, home to Robinson Helicopter and a cluster of aerospace and light-industrial tenants. We patrol the manufacturing shops, hangar-adjacent businesses, and commercial buildings in the area around Zamperini Field, with after-hours and weekend coverage for the industrial properties along Crenshaw Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway.
Torrance Memorial Medical Center
A major hospital campus on Lomita Boulevard in the southern part of the city. Americal Patrol covers the medical offices, professional buildings, and commercial properties in the area surrounding Torrance Memorial, with patrol timing built around shift changes and the steady day-and-night traffic along Lomita Boulevard and Skypark Drive.
Charles H. Wilson Park
A large city park on Crenshaw Boulevard near Old Torrance that hosts the Torrance Certified Farmers' Market on Tuesdays and Saturdays. We patrol the commercial storefronts, offices, and retail properties in the area around Wilson Park, with market-day and after-hours coverage geared to the foot traffic and parking turnover along Crenshaw Boulevard and Carson Street.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Torrance property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Torrance?
Our pricing depends on the exact hours your property needs and whether you add a marked patrol vehicle for visible deterrence and faster coverage across a larger Torrance site. There are no setup fees. Call us at (805) 515-3834 and we will quote the exact hours your property needs, whether that is a warehouse along 190th Street or a retail pad near Del Amo Fashion Center.
Which parts of Torrance do you patrol?
We cover Torrance broadly, from the industrial and refinery corridors along 190th Street and Western Avenue to the retail around Hawthorne Boulevard and Del Amo, the office campuses off Torrance Boulevard, and the residential neighborhoods of Old Torrance, Hollywood Riviera, Walteria, and Southwood. If your property sits inside the Torrance city limits, we can build a route to it.
Do you provide security for industrial and warehouse properties in Torrance?
Yes. Torrance has one of the densest industrial bases in the South Bay, and we handle warehouses, distribution yards, manufacturing shops, and commercial sites across the 190th Street, Western Avenue, and Crenshaw Boulevard corridors. We provide gate control, vehicle patrols, and after-hours perimeter checks built around shift changes and truck traffic. Call (805) 515-3834 to scope coverage for your facility.
Do you offer armed guards in Torrance?
We do, where the risk profile justifies it. Most Torrance retail, office, and industrial accounts are well served by unarmed officers, often paired with a marked patrol vehicle, but for higher-exposure sites we can discuss an armed option during the walkthrough. Call (805) 515-3834 and we will recommend the right posture for your property.
