We Take Our TV Film Set Security Guards Role Seriously
TV film set security guards are responsible for ensuring the safety and security of productions from the first day of pre-production through the final day of wrap. They monitor access to the set, deter and respond to theft and vandalism, control access to props and equipment, and provide general security for cast, crew, and visitors throughout the shoot.
Security guards on movie and television sets must react quickly and effectively to any potential threat without disrupting the production. Strong communication skills, situational awareness, and the ability to work collaboratively with production teams are non-negotiable. Guardian National Security understands exactly what it takes to deliver this level of service on any type of TV or film set across Los Angeles and beyond.

TV and film productions run on tight schedules and even tighter budgets. One security breach, one unauthorized person on set, or one piece of stolen equipment can shut everything down. Guardian National Security provides professional TV film set security guards for productions across Los Angeles and Southern California that need more than just a warm body at the gate.
Our guards understand the unique demands of active production environments. They manage access control, secure equipment staging areas, protect location perimeters, handle crowd management during street shoots, and keep unauthorized personnel off restricted areas without disrupting the flow of your shoot. According to the SAG-AFTRA Production Safety guidelines, controlled access and a secure environment on set are critical components of cast and crew safety on every production.
We have protected film sets, television productions, commercial shoots, and live events across Los Angeles since 1997. Our guards show up on time, in the correct uniform for your production environment, and ready to work from the very first call time. Guardian National Security keeps your set secure so your crew can focus on what they do best.
Guardian National Security knows what it takes to provide professional TV film set security guards for any type of production. Our services are designed to secure your filming location and protect your cast, crew, and equipment. Location shooting presents its own unique threats and risks so we design patrol tours, standing guard placement, and post order duties to maximize surveillance and minimize opportunities for theft, trespassing, vandalism, disturbances, and other unwanted activity.
Our TV film set security guards are trained in patrol, fire watch, access control, parking enforcement, observe and report, public relations, communications, and emergency response. When needed we can supply guards certified in CPR and first aid, batons, and pepper spray. With every assignment we thoroughly brief our supervisors and assigned guards on your expectations and post order duties, and follow up with on-site guards through unscheduled regular visits.
TV and film set security in Los Angeles typically runs between $30 and $70 per hour per guard. The final number depends on whether your shoot needs armed or unarmed coverage, the location, the schedule, and the talent or gear profile of your production. A standard 12-hour day with two unarmed guards generally lands between $720 and $1,080.
