City

Orange County & Los Angeles, CA

Location type

About the Role

Licensed armed security officers needed for commercial, residential, and corporate client sites across Southern California. You will manage access control, conduct patrols, respond to incidents, and submit shift reports. A valid California BSIS Guard Card and Firearm Permit are required. Professional demeanor and punctuality are non-negotiable.

We're looking for a licensed, armed security officer who takes the job seriously. This isn't a role for someone looking to stand around — it's for a professional who shows up prepared, stays alert every shift, and represents Solo Security Corp with discipline and integrity. If that's you, we want to talk.


As an armed on-site security officer at Solo Security Corp, you will be stationed at client sites across Orange County and Los Angeles — including corporate offices, healthcare facilities, retail properties, and residential communities. You are the visible, professional face of security at your post. Your presence deters threats, your judgment manages access, and your response capability ensures that when something happens, it's handled correctly. You'll work under clear post orders written specifically for your site and will have direct support from our field supervisors throughout every shift.

Responsibilities

Maintain a Visible, Professional Presence Body: You will be stationed at your assigned post in full uniform, maintaining a visible and professional deterrent presence throughout your shift. Your conduct on site directly reflects the standard Solo Security Corp sets for every client.

Control Access & Screen Visitors Body: Manage entry and exit points, verify credentials, screen visitors, and enforce the client's access control protocols — ensuring only authorized individuals enter restricted areas.

Conduct Scheduled Patrols Body: Perform interior and exterior patrols at defined intervals, checking doors, gates, lighting, and vulnerable areas. Document all patrol activity using our mobile reporting platform.

Respond to Incidents Body: Assess and respond to security incidents, disturbances, and emergencies on site. Follow documented escalation procedures, coordinate with emergency services when required, and document every incident with a timestamped report.

Submit Shift Reports Body: Complete accurate, detailed shift and incident reports using our mobile platform at the end of every shift. Clear documentation is non-negotiable — it protects you, the client, and the company.

Communicate with Supervisors Body: Maintain regular communication with your field supervisor throughout your shift. Report any concerns, changes in site conditions, or incidents immediately through the proper channels.
