Hiring security in San Diego: common questions

Do security guards in San Diego need a California licence?
Yes. Guards working in San Diego 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 San Diego 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 San Diego do these companies cover?
Coverage is stored per city. Most providers listed here also cover other San Diego County cities, and each card states whether the company is based in San Diego or travels in to serve it.
What does Security Explorer publish about San Diego 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.
