Commercial Properties
Lobby officers, patrols and after-hours monitoring for offices and commercial buildings — protecting tenants and employees and supporting your workplace safety programs.
Offices and mixed-use.
Tenants and visitors.
Lots, stairwells and roofs.
SB 553 and IIPP.
Quick answer
Commercial buildings typically need lobby or front-desk officers, access control, patrols of lots, garages and stairwells, and after-hours monitoring. Every California employer must maintain an Injury and Illness Prevention Program (8 CCR §3203), and most must also have a workplace violence prevention plan under SB 553 — security officers and incident reports support both.
The challenge
Commercial properties juggle tenants, visitors and compliance.
Tailgating and unverified visitors.
After-hours break-ins.
IIPP and SB 553 need real procedures.
Coverage options
Combine services into one program.
Our standards
The same standard on every shift.

02
Duties and contacts written and approved.
03
Officers learn the site before day one.

Choosing coverage

California requirements
Every California employer must maintain a written Injury and Illness Prevention Program (8 CCR §3203) that names responsible persons and covers hazard inspections, incident investigation, correction, training and hazard reporting. Most employers must also maintain a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan under SB 553 (Labor Code 6401.9), with an incident log kept five years and annual training.
Every officer must hold a BSIS Guard Card and work for a licensed private patrol operator — 8 hours of Power to Arrest and Appropriate Use of Force training before registration, 32 more hours within six months, and 8 hours of continuing training every year. Verify any company or officer on the state’s DCA License Search.
