Safeguard On Demand provides professional security guard services in Concord, one of the largest cities in Contra Costa County, with an estimated 123,261 residents (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2025). Interstate 680, State Route 4 and State Route 242 meet here, and two BART stations connect the city to Oakland and San Francisco. Our armed security guards and unarmed officers protect medical campuses, shopping centers, office buildings, event venues and residential neighborhoods across central Contra Costa.
John Muir Medical Center, the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, the City of Concord, PG&E and County Connection are among Concord’s largest employers. The city is also home to the Frank Gehry-designed Concord Pavilion, Sunvalley Shopping Center, Todos Santos Plaza, a California State University, East Bay campus and the former Concord Naval Weapons Station, whose inland portion closed in 2007 and remains the focus of long-term redevelopment planning. We match coverage to each, from healthcare security to concert crowds and retail loss prevention.
Concord accounts are supported by our Silicon Valley branch in Mountain View, with 24/7 live dispatch, a dedicated field supervisor, GPS-verified patrol services and daily activity reports. Clients with properties in Walnut Creek and Antioch can use the same team and the same reporting format. Posts are usually staffed within 24 to 48 hours, assessments are free, and contracts carry no long-term commitment.
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 Concord clients ask us to solve most often, and the service that answers each one.
Concord police logged 651 shoplifting reports in 2024, up 63 percent from 2023. Foot patrol officers at entrances and high-value aisles deter theft and document incidents.
Vehicle thefts fell to 655 and thefts from vehicles to 813 in 2024, but both remain common. Marked patrol vehicles keep parking areas under watch.
Police recorded 505 burglaries in 2024. Standing officers and alarm-response checks protect storefronts, offices and warehouses after hours.
The Concord Pavilion and downtown events bring thousands of visitors at once. Unarmed officers manage screening, lines and parking.
Todos Santos Plaza's restaurants, farmers markets and summer concerts keep downtown busy after dark. Visible patrols help businesses close safely.
Office parks, vacant lots and construction projects often go unwatched overnight. Remote video monitoring adds eyes between patrol visits.
Every property type carries different risks. We match officers, post orders and patrol schedules to the way your Concord property actually operates.
Emergency department officers, lobby screening and garage patrols for hospital campuses and the medical office buildings that surround them.
Loss prevention and parking patrol for Sunvalley Shopping Center, big-box centers and the shops around Todos Santos Plaza.
Gate screening, crowd management and backstage access control for concerts and events at Concord's amphitheater and other venues.
Lobby officers and after-hours patrol for office buildings near the Concord BART stations and along Willow Pass Road.
Nightly patrol, parking enforcement and amenity checks for multifamily communities along the Monument Corridor and near BART.
Standing guards, fire watch and equipment protection for infill housing, downtown projects and future redevelopment sites.
Concord’s challenges are concentrated rather than citywide. Shoplifting reports are climbing at retail centers, vehicle crime clusters in large lots, and event traffic peaks on concert nights. We respond with lobby officers for office and medical buildings, fire watch when fire systems are impaired, and marked vehicle patrols that can check several properties in a single shift. Each program is built on written post orders and reviewed regularly with your field supervisor.

Our Standards at a Glance
Concord’s numbers tell a clear story: fewer stolen cars, faster police response and a sharp rise in reported shoplifting. We put officers where that story is still being written, at the store entrance and in the parking lot.

Concord’s 2024 crime data, presented to the City Council by the Concord Police Department and reported in April 2025, show meaningful progress on vehicle crime: vehicle thefts fell from 812 to 655 and thefts from vehicles from 944 to 813 compared with 2023. Priority 1 response times improved to 7 minutes and 47 seconds from 9 minutes and 50 seconds. Reported shoplifting, however, rose 63 percent to 651 incidents, which the department attributed in part to retailers reporting more often. Our risk assessments help owners decide where officers will have the greatest effect.
Downtown and Todos Santos Plaza need evening patrol; Sunvalley Shopping Center and the Willow Pass Road corridor need retail officers and parking lot security; the Monument Corridor’s dense apartment communities need consistent multifamily coverage; and the Concord Pavilion requires crowd management on concert nights. Office tenants near the Concord and North Concord/Martinez BART stations rely on lobby security for visitor control.
Our Silicon Valley branch also serves Pleasanton, Richmond and Oakland, so clients across the East Bay can keep one partner and one standard. Explore all of our service areas.
