Custom Security
Custom Security Programs for California Properties
No two properties have identical security needs. A custom security program combines the services your site requires into one integrated plan. That can include unarmed or armed officers, mobile patrol, fire watch, event security, and executive protection. The plan uses unified scheduling, post orders, and reporting. 1 Cerberus Security & Patrol designs it with your team and adjusts it as your needs change.

What are custom security services?
Custom security services are tailored programs that bring together licensed officers, patrols, and specialized coverage under one plan instead of a single fixed service. A custom program can mix unarmed or armed guards, mobile patrol, fire watch, event security, and executive protection. Scheduling, post orders, and reporting are written for the specific property.
Custom Security Programs
How a custom security program comes together
How a custom security program is built
Every custom program starts with a site assessment. We walk your property with your facilities or security lead. Together we map entry points, camera blind spots, key controls, perimeter gaps, and daily operations. We also review your incident history, insurance requirements, regulatory mandates, and staff concerns. Those findings become written post orders, a coverage schedule, and reporting expectations for our officers and supervisors. As your site or schedule changes, such as a new construction phase, seasonal traffic, or tenant turnover, the program adjusts without a full rebuild.
What a custom program can include — common combinations
Most custom programs layer services instead of relying on one. Fixed-post unarmed officers can cover lobby reception, access control, and visitor management during business hours. Armed officers can cover high-value areas such as vaults, server rooms, and executive floors, or high-risk hours. Mobile patrol handles after-hours perimeter checks, parking structure patrols, and alarm response across multiple buildings. Fire watch covers times when fire systems are impaired for maintenance or construction. Event security covers conferences, shareholder meetings, or tenant gatherings. Executive protection covers visiting executives or board members. Your risk assessment drives the mix, not our service catalog.
Industries and property types — tailored to how you operate
Custom coverage adapts to how you operate. Class A office towers use lobby reception, after-hours patrol, and elevator access control. Healthcare campuses use emergency department screening, pharmacy and nursery access control, and behavioral health watch. Industrial parks use gate credentialing, yard patrol, and hazmat awareness. Multifamily residential uses a lobby concierge, package room, and garage patrol. Retail centers use entrance screening, loss prevention observation, and parking lot patrol. Construction sites use perimeter control, an equipment yard, and integrated fire watch. Educational campuses use visitor screening, event security, and lockdown coordination. Each program reflects the access patterns, regulations, and culture of the property type.
Working with your existing team — augmentation, not replacement
A custom program does not have to replace what you already have. Depending on the assignment, our personnel work alongside in-house security, property management, facilities teams, or other designated staff. Before deployment, we set a responsibility matrix for who handles what. We also agree on communication channels, escalation contacts, a daily briefing cadence, and reporting expectations. If needed, we add joint training. If you later expand coverage or add a service, we fold it into the same program with a single point of contact.
How to request a custom quote
Tell us about the property, its hours, and the concerns you want covered, and we will follow up to discuss a coverage plan. A walkthrough is often the fastest way to identify access points, patrol routes, and staffing needs. It is available as a free, no-obligation assessment. Call 1 (800) 460-8571 or send a message through our contact page to start the conversation.
