Who We Are

Founded on service. Built by our community.

Private Security LA Worldwide — a subsidiary of Maccess, Inc. — delivers elite executive protection, corporate, estate, and film-set security, built on security, integrity, and service.

Private Security LA Worldwide was founded on a simple conviction: that world-class protection and genuine service belong together — and that both should come from, and give back to, the community that raised us.

As a subsidiary of Maccess, Inc., we operate at the highest tier of the industry — protecting executives, entertainers, families, and businesses across Los Angeles and around the world. Our leadership brings decades of combined law-enforcement and security experience — federal, state, and local — in executive protection, crisis intervention, tactical defense, and intelligence.

That expertise is only half of who we are. The other half is a promise: to operate with integrity, to serve with respect, and to open the door for the next generation of professionals coming up behind us.

Our Standard

Security. Integrity. Service.

The three words we're measured by — internally and by every client who trusts us.

Security

Vigilance is a discipline.

Every detail rehearsed, every contingency planned. We protect people, assets, and reputations with the seriousness they demand — before, during, and after the moment that matters.

Integrity

Trust is the contract.

Discretion is not a feature — it is the foundation. Our agents are vetted, licensed, and held to a standard that clients stake their names on. What happens in your world stays in your world.

Service

Presence you barely notice, protection you never doubt.

We adapt to your life, not the other way around. Professional, courteous, and precise — service that reflects the people we protect and the communities we come from.

Leadership

The people who stand behind the name.

Our leadership has protected celebrities, Fortune 500 executives, and public figures — and now leads a team held to that same standard.
