Los Angeles is where the entertainment business lives, and it is where much of our celebrity protection work takes place. Award season, premieres, studio days, festival weekends in the desert and long stays at private homes all bring clients to Southern California, and each one carries a different kind of exposure.
We protect artists, actors, athletes, executives and their families across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and the Coachella Valley, with details planned around the realities of the city: paparazzi, packed freeways and venues that were never designed with security in mind.
In Los Angeles, photographers often know where a client is going before the car leaves. Our celebrity protection details plan around that: alternate entrances at restaurants and hotels, private arrivals at LAX and Van Nuys, and routes that avoid predictable choke points. The goal is simple. The client gets where they need to be, and the day stays private.
Our team has supported work around the Grammys and the Oscars, along with premieres, brand dinners and the after-parties that follow them. Red-carpet days are tightly scheduled and crowded, so we coordinate with event producers, publicists and venue security well before the day to keep arrivals and exits clean. See our event and tour security service.
During the first weekend of Coachella 2025, our executive team oversaw VIP security for a major fashion brand’s event on its private compound and provided close protection for Nicolai Marciano and his celebrity guests. Desert events mean long days, heat, heavy traffic and huge crowds, and they reward teams that have done them before.
Many clients spend weeks or months in Southern California. In the summer of 2024, our team provided close protection and diplomatic-level security for a royal family during a month-long stay in Beverly Hills. We provide residential and estate security for private homes in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Holmby Hills, Malibu and Hidden Hills, including staff and guest access, overnight coverage and protection for family members and children.
We also support journalists, news crews and production teams working in tense environments across Southern California through our media and journalist security service.
Experience where it counts. Our team has worked with Netflix, Coachella, Guess, Victoria’s Secret, the Grammys, the Oscars, Vanity Fair and the Teen Choice Awards, and protects A-list talent from film, television, music, sports and the influencer world.
Quiet, not cinematic. In a city full of cameras, the best protection is the kind nobody notices.
Veteran-led. Elite Security Pro was founded by Steve Schleinitz, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran of the Desert Storm era with 24 years in the security industry, and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
