This also extends to those of you who are in charge of the overseeing of other's homes and properties, better known as property management.

Site assessments, mobile patrols, cutting edge technology, and customized solutions, are just a few of the services that we offer to serve our clients and keep your multi-family communities neat, tidy, and secure.
SITE ASSESSMENTS
Typically conducted by franchise owners and operational managers who have prior military and law enforcement experience, our full-scale site assessments are completely free of charge! Most assessments are conducted at night to ensure the best evaluation of risk factors and include the following primary functions: Property Risk Hazards, Lighting Assessments, and Access Entry. Anything that could be considered a violation or crime taking place is also investigated during the assessment. As a property manager, this is one of the most beneficial meetings you will ever have. You will be able to learn specifically what potential security risks affect your property and how to address them.
MOBILE PATROL
Our Mobile Patrol Model, is utilized on the basis of deterrence. Officers make their rounds in fully marked patrol vehicles, which yield a strong visual presence, as well as allows them to alter their movements so that predictable patterns do not emerge. It gives residents a sense of well being in seeing that their residence and persons are being monitored for signs of potential dangers or nuisances. It allows you, as the administrator of the property to be able to relax in knowing that your residents are safe and secure because of a decision that you made with their best interests at heart.

Maybe you're experiencing problems with tenants taking a dip after hours, which can be very dangerous, or non-residents using your pool for their personal recreation. If either sound familiar, then you might look into Pool Patrols, yet another service option provided by our officers.
