Insurance guidance for California guard firms and private patrol operators, from liability requirements to workers’ compensation and vehicles.
CALIFORNIA REQUIREMENTS
Start with your license and your contracts.
Our Burbank agency helps security firms review the insurance their work calls for.
Ask about security insuranceCalifornia’s Bureau of Security and Investigative Services says a licensed private patrol operator must maintain general liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence and provide a certificate to the Bureau. A client contract may call for different or higher limits, additional insured terms, or other policies. Review the actual license and contract requirements before choosing coverage.
Guard operations are not all alike. Tell us whether you provide armed or unarmed service, fixed posts, event security, or mobile patrol, and whether employees drive for work. We can discuss liability, workers’ compensation, commercial auto, and other options that fit the operations you describe.

Common questions
Is the $1 million requirement enough for every job?
It is the BSIS minimum for a licensed private patrol operator. Your clients may require other limits or terms. We review the written contract and the policy proposal before assuming a limit satisfies a job.
What if my team uses vehicles?
Tell us who owns the vehicles and how they are used. A commercial auto review can address business driving and the limits in client contracts.
Can you help with a certificate?
Our team can review certificate instructions and policy terms. A certificate summarizes coverage; it does not change the policy itself.
Also explore general liability, workers’ compensation, and commercial auto.
