Our Comprehensive Security Guard Services
Armada Security has protected Bay Area businesses since 1994 — a California-licensed Private Patrol Operator (PPO 120526) with $1M per-occurrence and $5M aggregate liability coverage. Every officer is individually licensed and background-checked, works from a written post order, and files a daily activity report. Dispatch answers 24/7 — a real person, not a phone tree.
Providing Top-Quality Security Services for Businesses and Events in Daly City
A security program is only as good as its accountability: written post orders, GPS-verified rounds, same-night incident reports, and a supervisor you can actually reach for businesses and events in Daly City. With our top-quality security services, we are committed to protecting your assets and ensuring the safety of your employees, customers, and attendees.
Coordinated With Daly City’s First Responders
Daly City is served by the Daly City Police Department (111 sworn officers, headquartered at 333 90th Street) and the North County Fire Authority, a joint agency whose four Daly City stations answered 9,124 calls in 2023 at a 5-minute-12-second average. Even with citywide crime down about 15% in 2024, retail and multi-family districts like Serramonte and Westlake still absorb the bulk of after-hours incidents. Our guards and patrols work alongside those agencies — coordinating with DCPD non-emergency dispatch and handing over documented, photo-logged incident reports that support police reports and insurance claims.
