Residential Security

Service Areas

Residential security services typically consist of a combination of mobile patrol and foot patrol duties. During mobile patrols, security guards perform security patrols across their assigned communities in market security vehicles. Apartment security tends to focus on foot patrols. Home security for communities with single family homes tend to rely solely on mobile patrols. In some cases, bicycles may be used.

Residential security guards allow property managers to delegate after hours regulations and enforcement to professional security guards. The types and times of threats often change at different times of the year. Most apartment crimes occur during the night time. However, during the summer months, many incidents occur during the day. This seasonal increase occurs as a result of adolescents being out of school for the summer. As a result, security shifts can occur in morning and night, or the overall schedules can change based on threat levels. The home security plan should adjust as the threats to the community change.
