Licensed Long Beach Security Guards — Armed, Unarmed, Patrol, and Beyond
AM PM Nationwide Security Inc. is a California PPO-licensed (#121131) private security firm protecting businesses, properties, and communities throughout Long Beach and the surrounding Los Angeles County region. Our Long Beach officers are BSIS-certified, background-checked, drug-screened, and trained on your site-specific post orders before they ever clock in — no exceptions, no shortcuts, no contractor-mill staffing.
Long Beach is California's seventh-largest city with 460,000+ residents and home to one of the two busiest container ports in North America — a security profile that mixes maritime logistics, downtown office towers, and dense residential. That's why Long Beach businesses, property managers, and developers rely on us to deploy the right officer for the right post — armed or unarmed, uniformed or plainclothes, marked patrol or dedicated standing guard. Every shift is backed by live 24/7 dispatch out of our Reseda command center, field supervisors who rove between Long Beach posts, and same-day digital incident reporting that lands in your inbox before the next shift starts.
Long Beach ZIP codes served: 90802, 90803, 90810, 90813, 90815 — and every adjacent ZIP within Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties. If your Long Beach address is anywhere within a 100-mile radius of our Reseda dispatch center at 7348 Corbin Avenue, we can staff your post.

Our familiarity with these venues, their security expectations, and the surrounding traffic and access patterns means we can scale up coverage for special events, deploy emergency response, or maintain a long-term standing presence with minimal ramp-up.
Long Beach Industries and Property Types We Protect

The Security Threats Long Beach Property Owners Face
Cargo theft from port-adjacent yards, copper and catalytic-converter theft from logistics fleets, dockworker-area break-ins, and after-hours vandalism in the East Village Arts District are frequent issues Long Beach businesses ask us to address. Our Long Beach programs are designed to interrupt those specific patterns — through visible deterrence (marked vehicles, uniformed officers, badge-up presence at access points), randomized patrol intervals that prevent crews from predicting our timing, and 24/7 dispatch backstop so every alarm, every gate-tail, and every irregularity gets a live human response inside minutes.
