PPO #122730Regional Crime Trends
What our patrols are seeing across Sacramento-area commercial and residential properties.
Property-Type Crime Prevention
Prevention tactics tailored to apartments, HOAs, retail centers, and construction sites.
- Construction Site Theft Trends Across Sacramento-Area Job SitesOur patrol logs on Sacramento-area construction sites show theft concentrating on weekend nights and around long holiday weekends when sites sit unattended, targeting copper wiring, power tools, and fuel. Fenced perimeters, patrol checks timed to the highest-risk windows, and secured equipment lock-up reduce most of this exposure.Read
- Apartment Crime Prevention Strategies for Sacramento Property ManagersApartment communities see the most reported activity around parking areas, mailrooms, and common areas after dark. A combination of CPTED-based lighting and landscaping, controlled access, and scheduled patrol passes addresses the majority of incidents our logs capture at multifamily sites.Read
Vehicle & Parking Crime
Vehicle burglary, catalytic converter theft, and parking structure security.
- Catalytic Converter Theft Prevention for Sacramento Fleets and PropertiesCatalytic converter theft can happen in under two minutes with a battery-powered saw, which means the most effective countermeasures are removing the opportunity: etching converters, parking high-clearance vehicles in monitored areas, and timing patrol passes for the overnight hours when this theft is most common.Read
- Parking Garage Crime Prevention for Sacramento Commercial PropertiesParking structures see more reported incidents on upper levels and stairwells than on ground-level, high-traffic floors, largely because of reduced natural surveillance. Consistent lighting levels, foot patrol of stairwells and upper decks, and clear sightlines at elevator lobbies address most of the pattern our logs capture.Read
- Vehicle Burglary Prevention for Sacramento Business and HOA Parking LotsVehicle burglaries in our patrol logs concentrate overnight in poorly lit lots and target visible valuables left inside cars. Lighting improvements, clear no-valuables signage, and randomized patrol passes through the overnight window are the most consistently effective countermeasures.Read
Theft of Goods & Mail
Retail theft, mail theft, and package theft prevention for properties and communities.
- Retail Theft Trends in Sacramento Shopping CentersOur patrol logs at Sacramento-area retail centers show theft incidents concentrating around closing shifts, blind spots near exits, and organized groups working multiple stores in one visit. Visible patrol presence, coordinated tenant reporting, and clear sightlines to exits are the most consistently effective countermeasures.Read
- Mail Theft Prevention for Sacramento HOAs and Apartment CommunitiesMail theft at multifamily and HOA properties typically targets cluster mailboxes using stolen master keys or physical prying, most often in the hours after mail delivery. Postal-grade lock hardware, camera coverage at mail kiosks, and prompt reporting to USPIS are the most effective response.Read
- Package Theft Prevention for Sacramento Apartment CommunitiesPackage theft at apartment communities concentrates around midday and late-afternoon delivery windows in package rooms or lobby areas without controlled access. Locked parcel lockers, camera coverage, and patrol timed to delivery hours address most of the incidents our logs capture.Read
