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 Hillsborough
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 Hillsborough. 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 Hillsborough’s First Responders
Hillsborough is protected by its own Hillsborough Police Department (about 28 sworn officers at 1600 Floribunda Avenue) and by the Central County Fire Department, a three-town agency whose Stations 32 and 33 sit inside Hillsborough. With overall crime down roughly 17% year over year and the department running Home Security Check and Vacation Watch programs, this is a town where discreet, coordinated private coverage is the norm. Our estate officers coordinate directly with HPD non-emergency dispatch, dovetail with its residential-watch programs, and provide time-stamped, photo-logged reports that support any police filing or insurance claim.

Common Security Challenges in Hillsborough
Hillsborough businesses face a distinct set of security challenges:
