What we solve
A gate that is only as good as the person staffing it.
Break-ins, package theft and unfamiliar vehicles.
Families and public figures who need protection at the residence.
We staff gatehouses with officers who verify every guest, patrol streets and amenities on a varied schedule, and report to the HOA board or the homeowner directly. For private residences, we scope coverage around the family's routine and keep every detail confidential.
