Professional BSIS-Licensed Security Services for Campus, Maritime & Cannabis Industry Protection
Shieldwise Security is a trusted provider of professional security services in Humboldt County, the heart of California's North Coast. Our highly trained security personnel offer armed and unarmed security, mobile patrols, fire watch, and specialized campus and maritime protection throughout the Redwood Coast region.
Local Market Expertise: Humboldt County is home to Cal Poly Humboldt, a thriving fishing industry centered around Humboldt Bay, and one of California's most significant cannabis cultivation regions. From the historic Old Town Eureka to the college town of Arcata, security is essential for protecting diverse businesses, educational institutions, and maritime operations.
Security Challenges: Eureka, the county hub, struggles with property crime and homelessness-related incidents requiring professional security patrols for downtown businesses and government buildings.
