Watt Avenue security guards and patrol
Watt Avenue is one of the county's longest north–south commercial strips, running from the American River past Folsom Boulevard, Fair Oaks Boulevard, El Camino, Interstate 80 and on toward North Highlands and Antelope. It is lined with strip centres, apartment complexes, auto dealers, medical offices and light-rail stops.
Who patrols Watt Avenue
Most of Watt Avenue north of the American River is unincorporated Sacramento County, so the Sheriff's Office — not a city police department — patrols the street.

Questions we get every week
Watt Avenue security questions
- Who patrols Watt Avenue — Sacramento PD or the Sheriff?
- North of the American River, most of Watt Avenue is unincorporated county, so the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office handles law enforcement. Private officers observe, deter and report; they call the Sheriff for arrests.
- Can you patrol several lots along Watt Avenue on one route?
- Yes. Nearby properties on the same strip can share a marked vehicle route, with each stop logged and photographed so every client gets its own report.
