Central Valley
Security Guard Company in Bakersfield, CA
Kern County produces the majority of California’s oil, and oil field security is unlike any other assignment we staff: remote sites, expensive equipment spread across wide acreage, copper and fuel as constant theft targets, and almost no natural surveillance. Bakersfield posts are predominantly vehicle patrol rather than fixed posts, with agriculture and Highway 99 logistics making up most of the remainder.

Verified client · Yelp reviewSecurity guard services in Bakersfield — FAQs
Do you provide oil field security in Kern County?
Yes. Oil field security is one of our core Bakersfield assignments. Sites are remote and spread out, so we run scheduled vehicle patrol with GPS-verified checkpoints at wellheads, equipment yards, and access gates rather than staffing a fixed post — you get timestamped verification that each location was physically checked.
How do you handle copper and equipment theft?
Unpredictable patrol timing is the single most effective measure. Fixed-schedule rounds get observed and worked around. We vary route timing while still hitting every GPS-verified checkpoint, so the coverage is verifiable but not predictable to someone watching the site.

Ongoing coverage starts at $26.36 per hour. Your exact rate depends on how many hours a week you need — more hours means a lower hourly rate. One-off jobs are priced separately. No hidden fees, month-to-month, two-month minimum.
