For many environments, a professional, visible security presence is the most effective deterrent. Unarmed security guards from Southwest Security Services provide access control, monitoring, and customer-facing support for businesses, properties, and events throughout Los Angeles County without the need for armed personnel.
Unarmed guards are often the right choice for front-desk security, lobby presence, visitor management, and property monitoring. Our officers are selected for professionalism, communication, and reliability, and operate under California Private Patrol Operator license PPO #120322.
Because unarmed guards frequently interact with employees, residents, and visitors, we emphasize a calm, approachable presence backed by consistent observation and reporting.

For events with larger crowds, see our event security services; for office environments, our corporate security program may also apply.
We build post requirements around your property and operations. Guards manage access, document observations, and coordinate with your team. The goal is a professional presence that supports your environment rather than disrupting it.
Post orders define access points, patrol intervals, reporting procedures, and escalation contacts so every officer understands what is expected.
Unarmed posts are often the most visible part of your security program, so the people we place there matter. Southwest Security Services is the professional security services brand operated by Southwest Traffic Corp, which has provided professional security services since 2009. We select officers for communication and reliability and back them with consistent training and oversight.
Unarmed security officers are available throughout Los Angeles County and the San Fernando Valley.
