Enjoy a rewarding, challenging career
with our team of professionals
The owners of California Statewide Patrol have been in the security industry over 25 years collectively. They know all too well plight of many private security officers. Usually under paid, mistreated, under appreciated, poorly trained and equipped, etcetera. If you have been working as a security officer for any length of time then you know what we are talking about.

The security officer is the backbone of our company. We pay our officers’ top wages; provide the sharpest looking uniforms and best equipment.
