Strip Mall vs. Regional Mall Security
Security needs grow with the size of the center, so we size coverage to match.
- Strip malls: one patrol guard or nightly mobile patrols
- Community centers: day and evening foot patrols
- Regional malls and outlets: several posts and a supervisor
Shopping Center Parking Lot Patrols
Parking lots are where many shopping center incidents happen, from car break-ins to purse snatching. Our patrols keep them watched.
- Foot, bike or vehicle patrols during business hours
- Overnight patrols after closing
- Shopper escorts and vehicle break-in deterrence
Center Assessment
We walk your center with management, review incident history and tenant concerns, and set patrol routes and posts.

Every Sharp Guard Group officer holds an active California BSIS guard card, has passed a Live Scan background check and works under our Private Patrol Operator license PPO #18098. Armed officers also hold BSIS firearm permits. Officers are briefed on your center rules, trespass procedures and tenant contacts before the first shift. We carry general liability insurance and can send a certificate of insurance on request. Sharp Guard Group has served Los Angeles since 2015.
