We always use O&A for our school events and non-profit events. They are always on time and ready to keep our events safe! Even the day before, they always make time for us! We recently hired them to secure a large apartment complex and I can tell you there is a huge difference from the last company prior management had hired!! They were no where to be found! O&A is always present. read more

Company says they are open ? They have no license, we know several people that worked for them that have checks bounce, they still have not been able to get their money. read more

O&A Security Services - Security Services Near Me

Paid for service (for two guards) months in advance of my event. The guards who were supposed to show were an hour and fifteen minutes late. Stayed in the doorway of our party, awkward looking, as opposed to standing out in front of the building; I had to guide them where to be. I requested a refund and had a horrible time getting it back, took THREE WEEKS with little to NO communication; I had to do all the outreach. Horrible communication service BY THE OWNER! Never again. Gave one star for the guards that did show. read more

This company is the best security company out there. It's not just a job it's a family and friends.

This company does not come when you call. We never see them but don't have the control to fire them.

This security service is contracted to my current apartment complex. When the security officer comes they are usually good and helpful. Unfortunately they rarely get here in time and usually take 10 plus minutes to arrive. At that point either the issue is over or it's taken care of. Professionalism is great, lack of urgency is why the review is low read more

I am shocked this place is even in business. My husband went to fastrip, he works long hours and just got off around 11:30 and was starting days off. He was exhausted and in a hurry. I asked him to grab me a couple scratchers while he was there. Without thinking he put his 7 dollars in picked the 5$ one I wanted and there was a two dollar credit however he didn't realize that allllll the 2$ and below (2 whole rows) were sold out. He asked what to do and the the clerks were rude, that review will be on fastrip page as the clerks behavior is not a reflection of this security company and I want to be fair. I came down with a dollar as my husband only had his card and yes we cared about 2$ shoot if the person who came behind us and used it and won a million then how stupid would we really be anyways I had 20$ but decided to use change from the bottom of my purse, I was in a hurry hands sweaty and the change fell awkwardly into the clerks hand some sticking. She rolled her eyes at me and I said I'm sorry hun u out your hand out I thought that's how you wanted it. Needless to say things escalated. My husband is protected and was very upset. Their security guard treated us as we were in the wrong even when the clerk threatened me right in front of him saying "your lucky I'm on job" which I assume means I'm lucky she's at work. My husband lost of course at her saying that and the security guard screamed in my face even spitting. Not on purpose but when you speak and spit comes out to. Well I got what information he would give me which wasn't much and after a google search for the 24 on call number. A girl answer and I immediately asked for the owners information as its late and I figured it was an employee and didn't want to waste her time with a story. She refused to give it, at that point I thought I was being set up because this was crazy, this person to was combative??? I was repeating myself, " why can I not have the owners information ? The owner wouldn't want to handle a complaint? I was talking over her to which she stated I was yelling and the call was recorded, to which I said awesome I would love a copy. Eventually we get off the phone and she had gave me absolutely NO information. She was totally rude, combative and I felt like I was in a high school argument. I was not rude or anything I simply requested the owner as to not waste her time with something I THOUGHT she couldn't handled as "just a dispatcher" which is what she told me. Well I googled to try and see if I could and low and behold! Sasha IS THE OWNER!!! I was speaking to the owner the whole time???? Wow, when I called back, she was quick to thrown in her defense I was "yelling" to which I corrected her, it's her only excuse I understand she has to use for how she treated me. She refused to give me her BL number any information. She then stated the call was not recorded after a long pause. Which was a shock since she had told me it was. She told me she was meeting with the HR representative from Jaco Oil, tomorrow and review the footage because "I threw this change at the clerk" to which I asked for the time so I can be present. She then excitedly told me I was not allowed on the property and that I would be arrested if I did. How was I to know this? No body told me the confrontation was more between my husband and the clerk and security guard Stewart, than me as well. So what if I went to get gas tomorrow? I wouldn't know I was banned? For what ? Asking for a manager because I was curious if there was something in place for this situation or that they really expected customers to walk away from their own money. Then they treated him stupid like well he shouldn't have put it in there, and laughing and mocking him. But I'll be putting all three businesses up and will try and get a copy of the footage to add. I would never throw change at anyone, under any circumstances and the video will show this as well as her coming at me and threatening me. I am literally in awe that these women had this type of behavior and one was the owner and identified herself as just a dispatcher. Very rude, childish, unprofessional, and did not care what I had to say. At one point I was explaining again the want for information and she interrupted me (Sasha owner of O&A Security) and says "have you had your fun yet?" Wow!! Just wow! I will update once I've spoken to Linda and BBB. I'd stay away from this company as they seem like thugs themselves instead of the people protecting you from them Regardless, businesses should not be able to make money and have the type of power they have when they act worse than the very people they are hired to keep away. I will be contacting the news as well as this fastrip on white lane and gosford has already been featured for this type of behavior before. read more

Fastrip on white lane and gosford has been doing business with O&A security for about a year now and let me tell you it makes a huge difference. Jay the owner is professional, courteous and his team of patrol guards are prompt and efficient with service calls. They definitely get the job done. I highly recommend them! read more

"johnny on the spot" downtown patrols. Great officers, that are friendly and vigilant. I have had to call them on several occasions and there they were. Quick and professional service. Even when we don't need them they are patrolling downtown on foot and in a vehicle. Thanks read more

O&A is our apartment security. Been having problems with neighbors who positioned their stereo toward me and can't be heard outside. I thought this company had next door neighbor cell number because each time I called within 5-10 minutes the noise stopped. Before when I called and cancelled when noise stop only to have noise start up again. Finally called last Friday and the noise stopped but I heard no one walk up. On Wednesday after 2 days of neighbors tv & stereo games I slammed their screen door at 430. Security showed up at 5pm. I asked manager if security has neighbors number and she said no. They only showed up when I reacted but not when I call. So I will call when the noise bothers me since I promised I would. But I will just do it to make a record that I called. Not expecting anything to happen. I just have to take the noise stuff. Gordon Buckles read more

This company displayed tremendous professionalism on the ONE night we used them. This is what warranted my 5 star review as previously posted. However, at the close of that One night of using their services, I paid in advance for the nights we expected to utilize them in the future. I was, after all, dealing with the owner of the company that night. However, when our circumstances changed and we no longer were going to need their service, I contacted them approximately 26 times to arrange for the refund. After speaking with Jay (the owner), maybe 10 times and attempting to arrange a time for the $200 refund, he then began to systematically decline my phone calls. This, to me, is the epitome of poor customer service and an all around horrendously lacking display in terms of professionalism. read more

I am the Bakersfield District Property Supervisor for GSF Properties, Inc. I had the pleasure of meeting Jay & Sasha, the owners of O&A Security. They were very pleasant and personable. At the time we were having issues with our security company and I requested a bid from Jay. Jay was able to provide our properties with reasonable bids and we gladly accepted. Their services thus far have been amazing. They bring an innovative approach to security. Implementing dash cams, body cams, and an interactive reporting system that is GPS sensitive. They communicate very well with myself and staff. We couldn't be happier to have O&A Security on board with our company and look forward to developing a long term professional relationship with them. Our Customers also enjoy seeing their guards on our property on patrol. They are a pleasure to work with and are very hands on. read more

I wish i could give this 0 stars!!!! The owners Jay & Sasha are very unprofessional & rude.

This is a GREAT patrol company! I can call them for assistance, and they get here quickly and have great communication!! They PATROL my property, not just sit in their cars. They walk the areas, speak to residents about their concerns, and are active with keeping our community safe!! They're worth every penny! It's nice to finally have a patrol team in Bakersfield that we can trust! read more

O&A is by FAR the best security company. We've used so many in the past, and this one for sure is so awesome! They're very responsive & reliable. I highly recommend them! read more

Best security force in Bakersfield. Honest, hard working, and truly passionate about what they do. I've had the absolute pleasure of working along side O&A Security Services for nearly a year now and this company and their owners always go above and beyond to create an atmosphere of safety while still being personable. As a property manager having reliable security is an absolute must and they have always and I do mean ALWAYS come out promptly and dealt with any and all situations in a professional and caring manner. read more
