A major shift is coming to West Hollywood’s street-level safety and hospitality presence. Starting Wednesday, October 1, 2025, Allied Universal Security Services will officially take the reins of the West Hollywood Security Ambassadors program, a key initiative that helps keep the city safe, walkable, and welcoming. This shift is not without some controversy as previously reported here.
Why it matters for West Hollywood:
The Security Ambassadors program plays a vital role in supporting public safety and enhancing the quality of life in busy corridors like Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood Park, and local nightlife areas.
Uniformed ambassadors are a visible presence on foot, on bikes, and at kiosks throughout the city, acting as a helpful resource for residents and visitors while also supplementing the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station.
The partnership with Allied Universal, a nationally recognized provider of security services, signals a refreshed approach to street-level safety without disrupting the current structure of the program.

The scam on taxpayers continues ! City hall is clearly making contracts with security companies,just to pocket the excess money by hiring minorities ! The big major shift is,the security officers are herding the homeless off of major streets,into residential neighborhoods,where they try opening doors of houses,garages,mail boxes ect. The city should use the money to house the homeless rather than making money off of them,while putting residents in harms way ! ! !
“a key initiative that helps keep the city safe, walkable, and welcoming.”
ONLY a Far Left moron with a hole in their head actually believes this slapstick.
[…] At Monday nights Public Safety Commission the ‘Block by Block’ Security Ambassadors gave its final report. Earlier this year the City of West Hollywood pulled the contract with ‘Block by Block’ and awarded the new multi-million dollar contract to Allied Universal. https://wehoonline.com/allied-universal-take-west-hollywoods-security-ambassadors-program-starting-o… […]
Will the BBB name remain or will the city have to rebrand everything?

A bunch of minimum wage people off the streets…….sent out into the most bizarre city in the country. Tax dollars pay for this lunacy.
Same Far Left crowd of morons.
