Venice Community Patrol
Professional security patrol for our community — $50 per month.
Security Service Systems provides community patrol throughout Venice. This is our Venice route — separate from the Venice Canals patrol, which is its own dedicated route with its own billing options. Our uniformed officers patrol the community seven days a week in clearly marked SSS patrol vehicles, with 24-hour response to any subscriber call or alarm.
Family owned and operating on the Westside since 1940 · PPO 16006 · ACO 6266

Questions We Get Asked
Is my street on the route?
The patrol covers Venice. Call us at (310) 477-2095 and we will confirm your address.
What happens when I call?
Reach us for suspicious activity or any security concern and we dispatch a patrol response, 24 hours a day.
Do I need an alarm system to subscribe?
No. Community patrol is a standalone service. We also install and monitor alarm systems if you want both.
Is there a long-term contract?
Yes — this route requires a one-year agreement, whichever billing term you choose. We will confirm the terms with you before you sign up.
How is this different from my alarm company?
An alarm sends a notification. A patrol subscription puts a marked car and a licensed officer on your street. Most subscribers have both.
How do I start?
Sign up and we confirm your address, usually within 48 hours.
