Rooted in Westminster
We know Westminster block by block
Westminster packs roughly ten square miles of northwestern Orange County, from the retail-and-commercial spine of Bolsa Avenue at the heart of Little Saigon to the residential blocks that wrap around unincorporated Midway City. Interstate 405 cuts the south side, State Route 22 clips the north, and Beach Boulevard, Westminster Boulevard, Bolsa, Goldenwest, and Magnolia carry the daily traffic. As a security company in Westminster, we know the Asian Garden Mall crowds differ from a quiet HOA street, so we time each route to the real risks on the ground.

Local Coverage
Westminster Landmarks & Districts We Patrol Around
Familiar local knowledge is what separates a Orange County security company from a national one. Our supervisors and patrol officers know these locations by name.
Asian Garden Mall (Phuoc Loc Tho)
A Vietnamese-American indoor shopping center that opened in 1987 and serves as the commercial and cultural focal point of Little Saigon on Bolsa Avenue. Our officers patrol its parking structures and storefront walkways and keep foot patrol steady through peak market hours.
Westminster Civic Center (City Hall)
The city's civic center on Westminster Boulevard houses City Hall, the police building, the council chambers, and the senior center. We run overnight checks across its lots and public plazas and manage access control when the campus hosts after-hours meetings.
Sid Goldstein Freedom Park (Vietnam War Memorial)
A city park beside the Civic Center that holds the Vietnam War Memorial, with two 11-foot bronze soldiers and an eternal flame dedicated in 2003. We provide lot coverage and posted officers for memorial gatherings and keep the grounds watched after dark.
Rose Center Theater
A city-owned, 419-seat performing-arts theater built in 2006 on All American Way, between the park and the Coastline Community College site. We handle crowd control and venue security on show nights and cover the perimeter and parking through load-in and load-out.
Kindred Hospital Westminster
A 109-bed long-term acute-care hospital on Hospital Circle and one of the city's larger employers. We keep a posted officer at the entrances and run marked-vehicle patrol across its lot through the overnight shift.
Westminster Memorial Park
A roughly 150-acre cemetery and mortuary established in 1924, recognizable for the 1960s A-frame chapel visible from Beach Boulevard. We handle after-hours rounds along its fence lines and gates and respond to alarms across the grounds.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Westminster property owners ask us most.
How much does a security guard cost in Westminster?
Cost depends on the type of service you need, how many coverage hours you want, and the size of the property, so armed standing posts, mobile patrol, and event coverage each work out differently. We charge no setup fees. The clearest way to get a real figure is a free consultation and custom quote. Call (805) 515-3834 and we will scope your Westminster site and put numbers to it.
Do you patrol HOA and residential streets in Westminster?
Yes. Much of Westminster is residential, and we run marked-vehicle and foot patrol through HOA communities and single-family blocks across the city, from the areas near Bolsa Verde to Kensington Gardens. We time rounds to the hours that matter, document every pass, and can add gate and access control or alarm response when a community needs it.
Do you cover retail and commercial properties in Little Saigon?
Yes. The Bolsa Avenue commercial spine, including the Asian Garden Mall, draws heavy foot traffic and needs a steady, visible presence. We provide uniformed retail and commercial officers, foot patrol through shopping centers, lot and perimeter coverage, and incident documentation, and we can scale up for busy market days and holiday shopping periods.
Do you provide armed and unarmed guards in Westminster?
Yes. As a licensed California guard company, PPO-9557, we field both armed and unarmed uniformed officers, and the right choice depends on your risk level and property type. Many Westminster commercial and residential sites do well with unarmed patrol and posted officers, while some industrial or high-value locations warrant armed coverage. We will walk your site and recommend the fit during a free consultation.
