Guard & patrol · Kern County
Uniformed guards and marked, GPS‑tracked patrol units across Kern County. Time in, time out, what we checked — on the record, every stop.
Example night on real Bakersfield streets. Stops are illustrative.
Unit 7 heads back to L Street. The night’s report goes out.
A patrol happens while you’re asleep. That’s exactly why it has to be provable.
Every M&S patrol unit is clearly marked and carries GPS that records where it went, how fast, and how long it stayed at your property. Supervisors are on duty around the clock and make their own checks on site. So you don’t have to take “we drove by” on faith.

“Great group of guys. The Fullers, still going strong — the best there is.”
“Three-plus years of service with M&S. Always prompt, polite, and helpful. I highly recommend their services.”
“Customer service is great every time I call. I talk to Larry every time, and he addresses my concerns.”
Right now it’s — in Bakersfield, and M&S units are on duty.
We hire officers for posts and patrol across Kern County. You’ll have a supervisor on the radio around the clock, and a family company that has been here for more than fifty years behind you.
Tell us about the property. We’ll call you to set up a walk-through.
