Warehouse & Logistics Security Guards
Warehouses and distribution centers need security that protects cargo, controls truck access, and
supports fast-moving daily activity. We help logistics managers, facility directors, and asset
protection teams across California reduce theft exposure without slowing down freight movement.
The Risks Warehouse & Logistics Operations Carry
Freight sitting in a yard or on a dock is worth protecting the moment it arrives, not after something goes missing.
Cargo Theft & Organized Freight Crime
Verisk CargoNet reported nearly $725 million in cargo theft losses across the U.S. and Canada in 2025, a 60% jump from the year before. California led every state with 1,218 incidents, and warehouses and distribution centers were among the top targets.
Uncontrolled Truck & Driver Access
Busy truck gates create confusion when drivers and carriers move through all day with no consistent way to verify who’s who.
Trailer Yard Vulnerability
Trailer yards and drop lots sit exposed overnight, and unauthorized movement can go unnoticed until a load doesn’t show up.
Internal Theft & Inventory Shrinkage
Employee or contractor-related losses chip away at margin quietly, without the visibility of a break-in.
Unattended Nights & Weekends
Lower staffing at night leaves freight on site with fewer eyes watching it, exactly when organized crews prefer to move.
Delivery Delays & Contract Penalties
A theft or security incident that holds up a shipment can trigger late-delivery penalties written into carrier and client contracts.

Why Logistics Teams Work With Us:
Two Teams, Two Different Reasons This Matters
Keeping freight moving and protecting the facility’s long-term security posture rest on different shoulders. A real security partner has to answer to both.

How We Address Facility Risk, Point By Point
A camera can record a theft. It can’t stop a driver at the gate or check a trailer before it’s gone. Here’s how each risk gets answered.
A trailer sits in the yard overnight with a full load and no one actually checking on it.
Officers patrol trailer yards and drop lots on a documented schedule, not an occasional walk-by.
A driver rolls up to the gate, and nobody actually verifies who they are or what load they’re picking up.
Officers manage gate control and verify drivers against dispatch and delivery paperwork before granting access.
Cargo staged near the dock disappears between shifts, and nobody notices until inventory doesn’t match.
Dock and staging area monitoring with documented activity logs give management a real record to check against.
An organized theft crew targets a facility once word gets around that overnight coverage is thin.
Consistent overnight and weekend officer presence removes the facility from that reputation.
Employees and outside contractors move through the same restricted areas with no way to tell who’s supposed to be there.
Access control monitoring tracks who’s in restricted inventory areas and when.
A theft incident holds up a shipment, and the resulting delay trips a penalty clause in a client contract.
Fast incident response and documentation help operations get freight moving again and show the client exactly what happened.
Trained For Truck Flow, Not A Static Building
A warehouse post order has to account for constant truck and trailer movement. Officers assigned
to logistics accounts go through industry-specific training before their first shift, briefed on
gate procedures and driver verification instead of a generic walk-around.
