On-site security is dedicated officer coverage physically at your location — a standing post, a lobby, a gate, a construction trailer, an event venue, a residence — for the duration of your scope. 247 Private Security provides BSIS-certified armed or unarmed on-site officers across Greater Los Angeles, scoped from single-shift coverage of a few hours to 24/7 continuous staffing of multiple posts. Every officer is matched to your post requirements, briefed on your protocols, and supported by 24/7 dispatch supervision.
When on-site security is the right model
- Continuous presence requirement — when an officer must be physically at the location at all times, not just patrolling through
- Access control — gates, lobbies, dock entrances, restricted-zone perimeters where credentials must be verified at the point of entry
- Specific-threat coverage — when a credible threat (workplace violence, stalking, post-incident) requires visible deterrent
- Class A office building lobbies — concierge-tier officer providing reception, package handling, after-hours access
- Construction site standing post — single-officer staffing at the gate during business hours
- Cannabis dispensary lobby — armed officer presence at entrance for compliance with DCC and elevated robbery risk
- High-net-worth residence — gate, perimeter, or interior post coverage
- Event venue — standing post coverage at entrances, backstage access, gift table
- Hotel and hospitality — front desk standing post or executive-floor concierge coverage
What on-site coverage includes
- Dedicated officer — assigned to your post, not floating across multiple properties
- Site-specific protocol — written deployment plan covering your specific post requirements, escalation chain, key contacts, emergency procedures
- BSIS guard card — every officer carries current credentials with continuing-education compliance
- Armed or unarmed — per threat profile; armed officers carry exposed-carry firearm permits
- Uniformed or business attire — per post requirements; concierge posts typically wear blazer-and-tie, security posts typically uniformed
- Continuous radio supervision — every officer in radio + cell contact with 24/7 duty supervisor
- Body-worn camera — every officer wears a BWC during contacts and incidents
- Backup roster — relief officers maintained for shift change, illness, surge
- Daily activity log — emailed to client contact each morning
Common on-site post scenarios
- Single-shift weekday post (e.g. office lobby 6am–6pm Monday–Friday) — 1 dedicated officer with periodic backup
- Two-shift coverage (16-hour daily, daytime + evening) — 2 dedicated officers with shift handoff protocol
- 24/7 continuous coverage (3 shifts daily, 7 days/week) — typically 5–7 officers in rotation including backup
- Short-term temporary post — single-event coverage or short-duration coverage (1 week, 1 month) for specific scenarios

- Combined post and patrol — standing officer with periodic perimeter walks during slower periods
