What patrol in Applegate actually looks like
Applegate sits directly on the I-80 corridor, which is exactly what makes freeway-adjacent parcels attractive for dumping, stripping stolen vehicles and short-stay camping out of sight of the road.
We cover Applegate as part of the Auburn–Colfax foothill loop, which keeps it affordable: randomized passes, gate and outbuilding checks, plate and vehicle documentation, and a written log an owner can hand to the sheriff's office.

Storefront & Encampment Defense in Applegate
Storefront work in Applegate centers on Applegate Road and Wise Road: rear-door and alcove checks, no-trespassing signage that agencies will actually act on, and Letter of Authority support so an officer can address a camp behind your building instead of only reporting it.

Transients & Drug Activity Response in Applegate
Dumping, stripped vehicles and camping on parcels near the I-80 corridor is the call we take most from Applegate. We respond with de-escalation first, documented contacts, needle and debris reporting, and referral information — then written evidence if the property owner later needs a formal removal process.

Straight answers, no runaround
Security patrol in Applegate — questions we get every week
Straight answers for Applegate business owners, HOA boards, property managers and builders — including where our legal authority stops.
Do you actually patrol Applegate, or just say you cover it?
We patrol Applegate on documented routes with time-stamped checkpoints along Applegate Road, Wise Road, I-80 frontage. About 40 minutes from Sacramento HQ, covered on the Auburn–Colfax foothill route. Every client gets a morning report with photos, so coverage is verifiable rather than a claim on a map.
How fast can you get to my Applegate property?
About 40 minutes from Sacramento HQ, covered on the Auburn–Colfax foothill route. We would rather quote you an honest window than promise a response time we cannot hold. For properties needing immediate on-site presence, a standing post or scheduled patrol window is the reliable answer.
What does patrol cost in Applegate?
Rates run in the same flat hourly range as the rest of our service area, quoted in writing before anything starts. Multiple passes per night, shared routes with neighboring properties, and longer contract terms all reduce your effective cost. There are no fuel or drive-time surcharges added later.
Are your officers licensed to work in Placer County?
Yes. We operate under a California private patrol operator license, and officers hold current BSIS guard registrations. Licensing is statewide, so the same credentials apply in Placer County as in Sacramento County. You can verify any license number through the state's public lookup before you hire us.
Can your officers remove someone camping on my Applegate property?
Officers can make lawful contact, ask a person to leave, document the encounter, and — where the property owner has the correct signage and authorization on file — support a trespass process. We do not use force to remove people, and we do not pretend to have police authority. Where an official process is required, our documentation is what makes it move.
My problem is dumping, stripped vehicles and camping on parcels near the I-80 corridor. Is that something you handle?
Yes — that is the most common reason Applegate property owners call us. We build the route around that specific problem rather than a generic drive-through: timing the passes to when it actually happens, documenting every occurrence with photos, and adjusting after the first two weeks based on what the reports show.
Do I need a long contract for Applegate coverage?
No. We work on flat-rate agreements with 30-day written notice and no automatic renewal trap. Short-term coverage — a construction phase, a fire watch during a system outage, a seasonal vacancy, or a single event — is normal for us in the foothill communities.
Can you cover my Applegate property and a second location the same night?
Usually yes, and it often lowers the cost for both. Shared routes are common in Placer County where neighboring owners want documented presence but not a dedicated officer all night. Each property still gets its own separate written report.
