Security guards in Metairie, Louisiana
Metairie is unincorporated Jefferson Parish, no city police force, no city hall, a hundred and forty thousand people and one of the busiest retail corridors in the state. Coverage here is about knowing which agency to call and having the paperwork straight.
Where we work in Metairie
- Veterans Memorial Blvd
- Lakeside
- Fat City
- Old Metairie
- Elmwood
- Bonnabel
- Airline Drive
- Causeway approach
Our Metairie work concentrates on three things: the retail and restaurant corridor along Veterans and around Lakeside, the apartment and condo communities that fill the blocks between Vets and Airline, and the medical and professional office buildings that need after-hours access control rather than a daytime guard.
Elmwood and the warehouse and light-industrial pockets along the parish line are the other half of the picture, where overnight posts and randomized patrol protect equipment yards and trailer lots.
Apartment communities, retail along Veterans Blvd, and medical offices.
What Metairie properties get hit with
- 01
A retail corridor with commuter volume
Veterans Memorial Boulevard carries a huge amount of through traffic, which means a shoplifter, a car burglar or an aggressive panhandler is on an arterial and gone in ninety seconds. Deterrence at the door matters more here than response after the fact.
- 02
Unincorporated means the Sheriff
Metairie has no municipal police department; the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office is the law enforcement agency. Post orders here name JPSO, and officers need to know which parish ordinances apply, it is a small detail that saves fifteen minutes on a live call.
- 03
Office and medical buildings after five
Multi-tenant medical and professional buildings empty out at once and then sit with unlocked stairwells, unattended garages and staff walking to isolated parking. The exposure in these buildings is between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., when tenants leave at once, not at 3 a.m.
- 04
Ground-floor and drainage exposure
Heavy-rain flooding is a routine Jefferson Parish problem, and a flooded ground floor means contractors, open doors, drying equipment and unsecured property for days. Restoration sites need coverage as much as construction sites do.

Which law enforcement agency do your officers coordinate with in Metairie?
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. Metairie is an unincorporated community, so there is no city police department. We write the correct agency, the correct non-emergency number and the applicable parish ordinances into your post orders before the first shift, and officers are briefed on what gets a 911 call versus a non-emergency call.
Do you cover Elmwood, Harahan and the warehouse district on the parish line?
Yes. Overnight posts, trailer and equipment-yard patrol and gate control in Elmwood and along the Jefferson Highway corridor are the kind of post we are built for, and they sit inside the same core response area as the rest of Metairie.
Can we add coverage just for the holiday retail season?
Yes. Seasonal retail posts from November through the first week of January are common, and we would rather write a defined seasonal agreement than lock you into a year of coverage you do not need. There is no long-term contract requirement either way.
