Safeguard On Demand provides licensed security guard services in Antioch, the largest city in East Contra Costa County and the gateway to the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta. From the Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Delta medical campuses to the Slatten Ranch retail district, the Rivertown waterfront and the growing neighborhoods along Lone Tree Way, our armed security officers and unarmed guards protect the properties that keep this riverfront city of nearly 119,000 residents working.
Vehicle theft has been Antioch’s defining property crime. The Antioch Police Department recorded a record 1,682 auto thefts in 2024, then cut that figure by 44 percent to 935 in 2025, while homicides fell from 16 to six. Aggravated assaults, however, rose 25 percent over the same period. Property owners who want to hold those gains use visible deterrence: GPS-tracked marked vehicle patrols, dedicated parking lot security and officers who document every round.
Antioch accounts are coordinated through our Silicon Valley branch in Mountain View, with a dedicated field supervisor who knows the Highway 4 corridor, the eBART station area and the Delta waterfront. Clients can begin with nightly patrol checks or build a full program that pairs on-site officers with remote video monitoring. Every post includes 24/7 live dispatch, daily activity reports and a free site assessment, and most are staffed within 24 to 48 hours.
Full liability and workers' compensation coverage, with certificates of insurance provided before the first shift.
Background-checked, BSIS-certified officers trained for your property type.
Live dispatch and an on-call supervisor every hour of every day.

These are the risks our Antioch clients ask us to solve most often, and the service that answers each one.
Even after a 44 percent decline in 2025, Antioch still logged 935 stolen vehicles, making parking areas a top priority for owners and managers.
Aggravated assaults rose in 2025, so front-line officers must be skilled in de-escalation at retail centers, clinics and apartment communities.
The Slatten Ranch and Somersville Road shopping districts contend with shoplifting, cart theft and vehicle break-ins.
Multifamily properties need controlled gates, amenity checks and a consistent presence to deter trespass and vandalism.
Industrial and utility sites along the Delta waterfront face copper theft, trespass and after-hours intrusion.
Boats, slips and waterfront parking at the Antioch Marina and Rivertown need overnight checks to prevent theft and vandalism.
Every property type carries different risks. We match officers, post orders and patrol schedules to the way your Antioch property actually operates.
De-escalation-trained officers for the Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Delta medical campuses and the clinics around them.
Loss-prevention presence and parking-lot patrol for Slatten Ranch, Somersville Road and neighborhood centers.
Courtesy patrols, gate enforcement and parking checks for rental and condominium communities across Antioch.
Community patrol and entrance management for gated neighborhoods in Deer Valley and southeast Antioch.
Overnight standing guards and patrols to protect materials and equipment at new residential and commercial projects.

Antioch properties need officers who can calm a tense situation as readily as they can deter a car thief. Our teams are trained for both. We provide foot patrol officers for retail corridors and apartment communities, standing guards for industrial gates and construction sites, and fire watch service for vacant buildings and properties with impaired fire systems. Each program runs on written post orders designed around how your site operates.

Our Standards at a Glance
Antioch has proven that crime can move in the right direction. Our job is to keep it moving that way on every lot, every dock and every street we are trusted to patrol.
— David NawabiPresident & CEO, Safeguard On Demand · 11+ years protecting California properties
The Antioch Police Department’s year-end report to the City Council, released in February 2026, showed homicides down 63 percent, auto theft down 44 percent and robbery down 23 percent in 2025 compared with 2024. Aggravated assault moved the other way, rising from 506 to 635 cases. For property managers, the message is that theft pressure has eased while interpersonal conflict remains a real concern, so officers must be both visible and composed. A professional security assessment helps match coverage to those risks.
Rivertown, Antioch’s historic downtown, is home to the El Campanil Theatre, the municipal marina and a waterfront that hosts the Delta Blues Festival. To the south, Lone Tree Way and Sand Creek Road carry the city’s newest growth, including the Kaiser Permanente Antioch Medical Center and Sutter Delta Medical Center. The Antioch eBART station and Highway 4 tie it together. We support event security for waterfront gatherings and venue security for performances downtown.
Our East County supervisors also protect clients in Concord, Walnut Creek and Tracy, which allows owners with several properties to work under one contract and one reporting standard.
