- Multiple randomized visits per night — fixed times train trespassers
- Walking rounds of amenity areas: pool, gym, mail room, garages
- House-rule enforcement per your post orders: noise, pool hours, loitering
- Parking enforcement — permits, guest spots, safelists and consistent tagging
- GPS- and photo-logged proof of every visit, emailed to the manager daily
- Escalation to LAPD/sheriff when it’s criminal — documented, not improvised
Patrol vs. standing officer: the honest math
Under roughly 200 units with working gate hardware, randomized patrol usually wins on value; larger communities, active incidents or amenity-heavy properties justify a standing post — or a hybrid with patrol overnight. We model both in the free assessment and tell you which your property actually needs.

Frequently asked questions
How many visits per night should a community get?
Most communities run 2–5 randomized visits; incident-prone properties more. The free assessment maps hot spots and sets the pattern.
Can patrol officers tow vehicles?
Officers document and tag per your parking rules and coordinate tows with your contracted operator under California law — consistently, which is what actually changes behavior.
Is a courtesy officer the same as a live-in?
No — our officers are employed, BSIS-licensed and supervised, not residents trading rent for on-call duty. That difference matters for liability.
What does courtesy patrol cost?
Priced per visit per night, not guard-hours — which is why boards choose it. Fixed monthly quote after a property walk.
