Off-Duty Police Officers in Los Angeles

Off-duty officers across the City of Los Angeles, from Downtown and Hollywood to the Westside and the Valley, booked and billed through LDG.

One city, very different posts

The City of Los Angeles covers Downtown, Hollywood, the Westside and most of the San Fernando Valley, and an off-duty post in one part of it looks nothing like a post in another. Downtown requests tend to be residential towers, ground-floor retail and venues. Hollywood leans toward nightlife, premieres and events. Valley neighborhoods bring places of worship, schools, shopping centers and job sites. We plan each post around the block it sits on, not around a citywide script.

Common Los Angeles assignments

  • Residential towers and apartment buildings. Lobbies, garages and amenity decks, especially Downtown and in the Arts District.
  • Retail and shopping centers. Evenings, weekends, sale events and the holiday season.
  • Venues, galas and private events. Entrances, guest lists and parking, from Hollywood to the Westside.
  • Location shoots. Base camp, equipment trucks and overnight set watch for productions working on city streets.
  • Places of worship and schools. Weekly services, holidays, arrivals, dismissals and evening events.

Planning around the neighborhood

Before the first shift we talk through the site: where people arrive, where problems have happened, which hours matter and who the officer reports to. That becomes the post orders every officer is briefed on. For larger sites we can combine off-duty officers with unarmed or armed security for the longer hours, and with the AI Vehicle Surveillance Program or camera towers, remotely viewed by LDG, on lots and job sites overnight.

One contact, one invoice

Off-duty police officers are sworn officers who take private security assignments on their own time. What they do on your post is set by the post orders and their own department’s rules for off-duty work. LDG sources and vets them, keeps shifts covered and sends one invoice. More on the off-duty police officers page and the Los Angeles security page.
