Astro Protective Services

Unarmed Security Guards

Professional on-site officers for deterrence, observation, access control, and customer service.

Why this service matters

Most property losses start with someone testing whether anyone is watching. A licensed unarmed officer in uniform removes that opportunity: entrances are covered, visitors are logged, suspicious activity is reported while it is still small, and residents, tenants, and staff have a person to turn to. For most California apartment, HOA, office, and retail properties, unarmed guards deliver the strongest safety improvement per dollar.

What sets APS apart

Off-duty police officers available

For higher-risk posts, court-ordered coverage, executive protection, and sensitive events, APS can staff qualified off-duty and retired law enforcement officers alongside licensed guards.

Employee-owned company

APS is employee-owned. The officers standing at your property share in the company's success, which shows up as lower turnover, steadier post coverage, and officers who learn your site instead of rotating away.

Union-friendly workforce

APS works comfortably on union and prevailing-wage properties, respects collective bargaining requirements, and keeps wage, break, and overtime practices documented for your records.

Metris patrol fleet

Marked Mercedes-Benz Metris patrol vans and patrol SUVs give your property visible, clearly identifiable coverage with room for equipment, signage, and multi-post response.

APS also operates Tesla patrol units with recorded rounds, front desk logging, and daily client reports. See Tesla patrol
