Hiring security in Palo Alto: common questions

Do security guards in Palo Alto need a California licence?
Yes. Guards working in Palo Alto must hold a California guard registration, and the companies employing them must hold a Private Patrol Operator licence from the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. Ask for both numbers before you sign anything.
How do I check a Palo Alto security company before hiring?
Confirm the Private Patrol Operator number with BSIS, ask for a current certificate of insurance, and request references for sites of a similar size to yours.
Which areas around Palo Alto do these companies cover?
Coverage is stored per city. Most providers listed here also cover other Santa Clara County cities, and each card states whether the company is based in Palo Alto or travels in to serve it.
What does Security Explorer publish about Palo Alto companies?
We publish only listings that have passed manual review. We show a licence as checked only when we hold a dated record of that check, and featured placement is a paid position rather than a recommendation.
