Security Guard Services in San Jose
ShieldWise Security is a BSIS-licensed security guard company serving San Jose and Santa Clara County. San Jose is the county seat and the largest city in the Bay Area, with roughly a million residents and a commercial base that runs from the downtown core around the arena, convention center, and San Jose State University, through the office and tech corridors of North San Jose, to the retail concentration around Santana Row on the west side and the industrial and distribution property of South San Jose.
Licensed in California as Private Patrol Operator PPO #122008, ShieldWise deploys unarmed guards, armed security, mobile patrol, and event security officers based on each San Jose site's specific post orders. Every officer holds a current BSIS Guard Card with DOJ and FBI background clearance.
ShieldWise Security does not operate a local office in San Jose. We are a California service-area business headquartered at 7155 Dimaggio St, Riverside, CA 92503, and deploy to Santa Clara County from the nearest standing crew. For recurring contracts, deployment is built into the engagement schedule.
