HOA and apartment security that gives your board something to read.
Boards and property managers need two things from security: fewer problems, and proof that the service is working.
RecommendedUnarmed guardsLicensed officers for access control, patrol, lobbies, and events. The lowest cost option.Why: Most community problems are trespass, loitering, parking, and package theft. Visible unarmed patrol handles that at the lowest cost, so your budget covers more hours. Where there have been violent incidents, we recommend armed.
What unarmed guards bring
Armed guardsLicensed armed officers where cash, product, or a known threat is on site.- Lowest cost per hour. You get more hours or more posts for the same budget, which matters most for overnight and daily coverage.
- Presence stops most problems. Most theft, trespass, and vandalism is opportunistic. A uniformed officer clearly checking the property sends those people elsewhere.
- Built for people facing posts. Gates, lobbies, front desks, and events need someone who greets guests, checks IDs, keeps logs, and stays polite with residents.
- State trained and screened. Every guard holds a BSIS guard card, passed a DOJ and FBI fingerprint check, and completes 40 hours of state training plus 8 hours every year.
- Every round is proven. Officers scan checkpoints, log GPS routes, and photograph conditions on our accountability platform, so you know the rounds happened.
- Observe, report, call it in. They document incidents in detail and call police with clear information instead of escalating, which keeps liability low.
What armed guards bring
Off duty law enforcementActive and retired police officers for high profile clients, known threats, and peak hours.- A deterrent robbers notice. Robbery crews look for easy targets. A visible armed officer at the door is often enough to send them somewhere else.
- Posted where money and product move. Opening, closing, cash counts, deposits, deliveries, and display or vault areas, the moments when most robberies happen.
- Protects people until police arrive. In an armed robbery or violent incident, police can be minutes away. An armed officer can protect staff and customers in that gap.
- State permitted and range qualified. Each holds a guard card and a California firearm permit from BSIS, passed a DOJ and FBI fingerprint check, and requalifies on the range to keep the permit.
- Trained on when not to shoot. State firearm training covers the law on use of force. Most incidents end with presence and words, not a weapon.
- Costs less than off duty police. Armed guards cover real robbery risk at a lower rate than off duty officers, which keeps daily coverage affordable.
What off duty law enforcement bring
- They know what targeting looks like. Officers spend their careers on burglary, robbery, and stalking calls. They notice the car that passes twice, the person photographing your gate, and the delivery that doesn't add up.
- They follow current crime trends. They know how crews are working right now: following people home from stores, hitting homes while owners travel, and jamming Wi-Fi cameras before entry.
- They read people. Years of calls teach an officer who is a threat, who is lost, and who is about to become a victim, and how to step in before it escalates.
- Screened harder than any guard. Every sworn officer passed a police background investigation and psychological evaluation to be hired, and keeps up state required training throughout their career.
- Reports that hold up. They write reports the way they do on duty: times, descriptions, evidence, and witnesses. That matters to your insurer, your attorney, and detectives.
- They work hand in hand with police. If police respond, our officer briefs them officer to officer with suspect descriptions and a protected scene, so nothing gets lost.
- Professional by habit. They show up on time, properly dressed, and write clear, detailed reports.
We provide visible patrol and gate coverage, and reports that show exactly what was done and what was found.
