The private security industry faces myriad potential legal problems, from complying with numerous California security regulations to defending against charges of false imprisonment or excessive use of force. Because security companies must deal with such unique issues, they need uniquely qualified and experienced San Jose and Los Angeles security attorneys.

At Bradley & Gmelich, we have that experience. Partner Barry A. Bradley leads a team of skilled, dedicated attorneys who know the private security industry inside and out. We can help you and your company proactively plan and strategize to avoid problems before they ever occur. In addition, we use our extensive knowledge of the laws, regulations, and jurisprudence that developed around California’s security industry to defend your company if litigation becomes unavoidable.

Avoiding problems

We can help you prevent problems from arising in the following ways:

• Ensuring that your training and corporate practices comply with California’s Bureau of Security and Investigative Services standards
• Assisting with the development of employee manuals, policies, and procedures
• Drafting contracts with clients that limit your liability

Our security attorneys in Los Angeles and San Jose have actively participated in drafting legislation governing private security in California, have comprehensive knowledge of standards and licensing requirements, and monitor litigation and settlements against private security companies. They use this wealth of information to help you set up and run your security company—whether private security company, alarm service, private patrol operator (PPO), electronic surveillance company, security system monitoring operation, executive protection specialists, or other private security-related entity. As a result, you can focus on running your business instead of worrying about bureaucratic interference or legal complications.
