Overview

Armed Security Officers for High-Risk Los Angeles County Properties

When a property carries real exposure — cash handling, high-value inventory, a history of break-ins, or a threat against staff — unarmed presence is not always enough. American Universal Security supplies California-licensed armed officers who carry both a Guard Card and a state firearms permit, backed by our Private Patrol Operator licence PPO# 121317.

Armed officers work across Los Angeles County including Long Beach, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Beverly Hills, Inglewood, Compton and Downey. Every armed post is written up in advance with a defined scope, escalation procedure and reporting line, so there is no ambiguity about what your officer will and will not do.

FAQ

Armed Security in Los Angeles County — Common Questions

What licences do your armed guards hold?

Every armed officer holds a California Guard Card and a state-issued firearms permit. AUS operates under Private Patrol Operator licence PPO# 121317.

When should I use armed instead of unarmed guards?

Armed officers are appropriate where there is cash on site, high-value inventory, a history of violent incidents, or a specific threat. For general deterrence, access control and customer-facing posts, unarmed guards are usually the better fit.

How quickly can an armed guard be deployed?

Same-day deployment is available for most Los Angeles County locations, with 24/7 dispatch for emergencies.

Are armed guards more expensive?

Armed posts carry a higher hourly rate than unarmed because of the additional licensing, training and insurance involved. We will quote both options so you can compare.
