Officers worth trusting
Every officer passes a background check, and the company is fully insured.
Contact
Let’s talk about your property.
Call (831) 273-3449 or use the form below. A free walkthrough comes first, then a written proposal you can take your time with.
What happens next.
First comes a quick call so we understand the property and what prompted you to reach out. Then we book a free walkthrough, ideally at the hour when the property feels most exposed.
After the walk you’ll receive a written proposal laying out the coverage we suggest. Approve it, pick a start date and officers begin on that day. When coverage can’t wait, phone us instead of waiting on the form.
We look after properties across Santa Cruz, from downtown and Pacific Avenue to the Westside, Mission Street, Seabright, the Harbor area and the beach-area hotels, and out to Scotts Valley, Capitola, Soquel, Aptos and Live Oak. To compare options before you write, see our security services or read what happens at a walkthrough.

What stands behind every officer we send
Santa Cruz Security Guards is insured, carries workers’ compensation and is bonded, and every client receives a certificate of insurance to keep on file, from a hotel near the Boardwalk to a single shop on Pacific Avenue. Each officer is background-checked and holds a BSIS guard card before standing a post. Supervisors stop by for quality inspections, comparing the shift log with the post orders so small slips get caught early. You can reach us 24/7, and requests sent through the form get a reply within one business day.
A few useful answers
Before you reach out.
Do we pay anything for the first visit?
Nothing. We walk the property for free, then send our recommendation in writing.
Something happened today. Should we still fill in the form?
Call instead, so we can start arranging an officer while you’re still on the phone.
Will we be locked into a long agreement?
Agreements run month to month with no minimums, for as long as the coverage works for you.
