School Security in Los Angeles

has, in recent years, become a major concern and priority for educators, staff, parents and students alike. Nowhere is it more important to have trained personnel than at our schools and colleges.

HillQuest Security Officers are highly trained specifically to handle normal school activities (for assistance and prevention) as well as handle the most difficult threats. They are constantly on guard and alert at all times.

With HillQuest Security, you can depend upon our officers to be a part and parcel of your team. From patrolling and monitoring: hallways, stairwells, toilet facilities, and outside facilities to additional public and unsupervised places of the school, our officers  ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff as well as the security of the facility. Our guards ensure a smooth traffic flow of students through the hallways; always ready to assist students with on-time arrival to class and to their assigned locations. They provide assistance with supervision during the breakfast and lunch periods as well as with the morning arrival and afternoon dismissal of students. Whenever necessary and with the permission of the Principal, our officers are specially trained to deal with and remove disruptive students from classes, without using any abusive force or violence.
