RESIDENTIAL & ESTATE

Gated estate posts, neighborhood patrol contracts and private guard tours integrated with your alarm and CCTV.

Residential and estate security protects high-net-worth residences, luxury gated estates, family compounds, and private homes across Greater Los Angeles. 247 Private Security deploys BSIS-certified armed or unarmed officers tailored to the family security plan — gate access control, perimeter patrol, interior post coverage, family escort, vacation coverage, and EP-trained details where the threat profile warrants. All officers are pre-vetted with Live Scan FBI/DOJ background checks, briefed on family protocols, and supported by 24/7 dispatch supervision.

Residential coverage modes

  • Gate access officer — fixed-position officer at the estate gate verifying visitors, vendors, and family vehicles; the most common residential coverage
  • Perimeter patrol — walking or driving patrol of the estate grounds at scheduled or random cadence; combines well with gate post
  • Interior post coverage — officer present inside the residence during specific events, hosting, or high-threat periods
  • Family escort — officer accompanies family members to/from school, work, appointments, or travel transit
  • EP-trained close protection — executive-protection-style coverage of a specific principal facing credible threats
  • Vacation / extended-absence coverage — interior and exterior coverage when the family is traveling
  • Event coverage — coverage of family-hosted events (parties, gatherings, weddings, fundraisers held at the residence)
  • Post-incident emergency coverage — same-day deployment after a burglary, threat event, or specific incident

FAQ

Common questions

Are residential officers armed or unarmed?

Both are available depending on threat profile and family preference. Armed coverage is typical for high-net-worth residences with explicit threats, family-office security plan requirements, or principals with public-profile threat exposure. Unarmed coverage is common for gated-community residences with primarily deterrent presence requirements. We scope per residence.

Will officers be in uniform or business attire?

Per family preference. Many estate clients prefer business-attire or plainclothes officers to maintain residential character — officers look like extended household staff rather than security presence. Uniformed coverage is also available and preferred by some clients for visible deterrent. Discretion is the default.

How do you protect family confidentiality?

Engagement letters include enhanced confidentiality terms standard for high-profile families. Family identity, residence address, household protocols, and any threat profile are never disclosed to media, other clients, or in marketing. Internal access to the family file is restricted to assigned officers and operations leadership.

Can you provide coverage during family travel or extended absence?

Yes. Vacation and extended-absence coverage is one of our most common residential engagements. Interior and exterior coverage maintained while the family is away — gate post, perimeter patrol, interior walk-throughs at designated frequency. Coordination with household staff (housekeeper, gardener, pool service) maintained.

Do you have EP-trained officers for close-protection coverage?

Yes. Our EP-trained detail leads and protection officers are available for principals facing credible threats requiring close-protection coverage. EP coverage includes advance work for travel, secure transport, public-appearance coverage, and family-member protection. See executive protection for full detail.

How much does residential or estate security cost?

Single armed gate officer for a 12-hour shift runs $420–$520 per day. 24/7 armed gate coverage runs $28,000–$35,000 per month. Combined gate plus perimeter patrol runs $35,000–$50,000 per month. EP-trained close protection runs $1,800–$2,800 per day per single principal detail. Family escort runs $45–65/hour per officer.
