About Us
Licensed, insured, and bonded private security company delivering professional security guard services since 1997
Our Story: A Legacy of Vigilance
American Global Security started in 1997 in California with a clear mission : to provide businesses and property owners with a private security company they could rely on. Over two decades we grew from a local security guard company into one of the region’s most trusted providers of professional security guard services.
Today American Global Security operates across California and multiple other states serving different industries. Every security guard we deploy holds a valid security guard card, meets all required security guard license standards, and is background-checked before stepping on any client property.
