All interactions are documented in incident reports with resident anonymity when requested.

Guards monitor package delivery areas, document package arrivals when present, report unattended packages to property management, and patrol areas where packages are typically left. For properties with package rooms or lockers, guards can monitor access and enforce usage policies.

Do you require long-term contracts for apartment complex security?

Yes. We require a minimum 1-year contract for apartment properties to ensure consistent security coverage and operational planning. However, we include a 30-day cancellation notice option if you’re not satisfied with our performance. Our focus is on earning your continued partnership through reliable service and transparent reporting.
