Apartment Pool & Amenity Lock-Up Patrols in Citrus Heights, CA

Whatever your posted closing time is — 10 p.m. is the most common on Citrus Heights properties, but we follow your rules, not a default. The officer arrives at that time, clears the deck and restrooms, secures the gate, and photographs it locked. If your posted hours are inconsistent with your signage or your community rules, fix that first; enforcement is much cleaner when the posted time is unambiguous.

Not with one visit a night — that is the honest answer. A single 10 p.m. close is defeated by a prop at 10:15. What breaks the pattern is the return pass at midnight or 1 a.m. that re-clears and re-secures it. On chronic properties we start with more frequent returns, and after roughly two weeks of the crowd finding the gate locked and an officer walking through, use drops off sharply. Then we taper.

Officers ask people to leave and document it. Most comply the moment someone in uniform asks. If someone refuses, the officer calls law enforcement rather than physically removing them — that is both the legal posture and the safe one. Enforcement is strongest when your signage and community rules are current, because that is what the officer's request and any later trespass process rests on.

All of them on the same nightly round, at no separate trip charge — the officer is already on site. Gym and clubhouse lock-ups catch overnight occupancy and equipment damage; laundry rooms are a common theft point. Most Citrus Heights communities that start with the pool add the rest within the first month.

Because the officer is already running a Citrus Heights route, a nightly lock-up stop is one of the least expensive services we offer, billed at a flat rate quoted in writing. Cost scales with how many return passes you want and how many amenities are on the round, not with a long contract term. There is no auto-renew clause.

No, and it is important nobody on your property thinks otherwise. This is a closing and security patrol. Officers clear and secure the pool area at posted hours; they do not supervise swimming, and they are not a substitute for whatever aquatic supervision your property is or is not required to provide.

Yes — a time-stamped photo of each secured gate and door, plus the round log, delivered to your manager or board every morning. That record is the difference between believing the pool gets locked and being able to show it, which matters enormously if an after-hours incident ever occurs.

Yes. HOA pool and clubhouse lock-ups run the same way, with reports going to the board or management company instead of an on-site manager. Boards typically want the monthly summary as much as the nightly log, since it is what they present at meetings and use to justify the line item.

The officer makes a professional request to clear out, documents who is present and what is happening, photographs conditions like glass or alcohol on the deck, and calls law enforcement if the group refuses to leave or the situation escalates. Your manager gets a written incident report the same night — which is what a lease-violation notice needs to actually stick.

Yes, and most communities add it. A short interior-drive and lot pass on the same stop catches open garages, people sleeping in vehicles, and dumpster-area dumping. Since the officer is already there, adding it costs far less than a separate patrol contract.

Yes — any amenity that has a posted closing time or a lockable door can go on the round. Mail rooms in particular are worth adding in Citrus Heights, where after-hours mail and package theft is a recurring complaint on multifamily properties.

Usually within a day or two, because we are adding a stop to an existing Citrus Heights route rather than building a new post. We need your posted hours, a key or code for each amenity, your community rules, and the contact who should receive the morning log. Written quote first, then the first night.
