More about Rancho Palos Verdes
The city also lives with a unique challenge. The Portuguese Bend landslide complex covers roughly 260 acres, and in 2024 land movement led to gas and power shutoffs for hundreds of homes and a state of emergency.
Vacant, damaged and partially occupied homes need someone watching them. Blackout Security Services is owned by an active sworn law enforcement officer and gives peninsula owners estate posts, scheduled patrol checks, armed and unarmed officers, construction and repair site coverage, and event staff for private gatherings. With sheriff deputies covering several peninsula cities from one station, a private officer on site adds a steady presence.

How we cover homes here
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.
