Malibu Estate & Fire Rebuild Site Security

Properties range from tightly packed beachfront homes on Carbon Beach and Malibu Road to the gated Malibu Colony, bluff top estates on Point Dume, and ranch style compounds up the canyons. Much of the eastern coastline was devastated in the January 2025 Palisades Fire, following the 2018 Woolsey Fire, and the city is now in a long rebuild.

That creates two distinct security needs: protecting occupied estates whose owners value privacy, and protecting open lots and active construction sites full of materials and equipment. Blackout Security Services is owned by an active sworn law enforcement officer. We provide estate posts, rebuild site guards, mobile patrol along PCH and canyon roads, and off duty officers for owners who want law enforcement experience on their property.

• The Palisades Fire destroyed large numbers of homes in eastern and central Malibu, including the Big Rock area and homes along PCH. As of September 2026 the city had issued about 100 rebuild permits and its first certificate of occupancy, so construction sites will be active for years.
• Rebuild sites hold lumber, copper, tools, and equipment with no one living on site. Overnight guards or frequent mobile patrol checks are the main deterrent.
• Malibu contracts with the LA County Sheriff's Malibu/Lost Hills Station, which also covers neighboring areas. Private posts provide on site presence between deputy calls.
• Beach homes along PCH sit close to a busy highway with public beach access nearby, which calls for visible posts and controlled entry on the street side.
• The 2018 Woolsey Fire destroyed about 1,500 structures, so many owners have already lived through evacuations. Security teams should be trained on evacuation and access control during closures.

Estate programs start with a walkthrough by the owner. From there we set posts, patrol checks, and response plans around how the home is actually used, with the same officers shift after shift. NDAs are available on request. Off duty and retired law enforcement are available for higher profile residences.
