Property Security
Assets, occupants, and operations, covered on your hours.
The properties that stay quiet are the ones where the coverage was designed before anything went wrong.
Property assignments start with how the site actually works: where people and vehicles enter, when the building is empty, which corners are unlit, what has already gone missing, and what the owner or board has said they will not tolerate again. Coverage is then built to that, rather than dropping a guard at the front door and calling it a program.
Construction sites, apartment communities, dealerships, retail centers, and commercial buildings all fail differently. A dealership loses catalytic converters overnight. A community loses tenants after a parking-lot incident. The coverage plan should reflect which of those you are actually solving.
Scope
What an assignment can cover
Not every assignment uses all of this. The assessment call decides which parts apply to your site, and the ones that do get written into the post orders before anyone is scheduled.
-
Staffed posts
Coverage at gates, lobbies, loading docks, and the access points that carry the exposure.
-
Overnight and weekend coverage
Presence during the windows when the property is empty and most exposed.
-
Construction site protection
Material, tool, copper, and equipment coverage across the build schedule.
-
Residential community coverage
Common areas, parking, amenity spaces, and after-hours access.
-
Retail and dealership coverage
Floor presence, lot observation, and opening and closing support.
-
Scheduled and random inspections
Documented checks on the pattern the property needs.
On Site
How the work actually runs
Coverage is built around how the property actually works: where vehicles and people enter, which points are observable and which are not, when the site is busy, and when it is empty. That produces a plan of fixed points, moving checks, and timed presence rather than a single officer positioned wherever there happens to be a chair.
On active sites the emphasis is access and accountability — who is on site, whether they should be, and what left the property. On residential and commercial property it shifts toward visibility, condition reporting, and being the person tenants can raise something with before it becomes a complaint.

Straight Answer
When this is not what you need
Physical presence cannot fix a site that has no controlled entry points. Where a property is genuinely open on several sides, the honest recommendation is often fencing, lighting, or access control first, with coverage sized around it afterwards.
Common Questions
Questions we are asked first
If yours is not here, it is a good first question for the call.
Call (410) 977-1510Is a staffed post or a patrol contract better value?
A post makes sense where presence has to be continuous. Patrol makes sense where the risk is concentrated in short windows. Most properties end up with a mix, and the assessment call is where that gets decided.
Can you start before our board approves a long-term contract?
Yes. Short-term coverage while a decision is being made is a normal arrangement.
Do you provide written reports for insurers?
Yes. Reporting format is agreed up front so it satisfies whoever is actually going to read it.
Usually Combined With
Most sites need more than one of these
Coverage is normally built as a combination rather than a single line item. These are the services most often paired with this one.
