Vehicle patrol is the right first move for most properties that do not need someone standing at the door all night. A marked unit makes randomized passes after dark, clears the perimeter, checks locks and lighting, contacts loiterers, and scans GPS checkpoints so you can verify each visit happened — with time stamps and photos — before your first coffee.
Randomized is the operative word. A patrol that arrives at 11:05 every night teaches the people watching your property exactly when to work. Our passes vary in time and route, and the report shows you the actual arrival times so you can confirm it.
Most clients pair nightly patrol with a standing post only on the nights that matter — deliveries, paydays, event weekends, or the first two weeks after an incident.

What each patrol pass actually includes
An officer parks, gets out, and walks the areas that matter — a drive-through with a spotlight is not a patrol. Standard scope: perimeter walk, exterior door and gate checks, dock and roll-up verification, lighting outages noted, dumpster and alcove sweeps, vehicle logging where applicable, and contact with anyone on the property after hours.
Every checkpoint is scanned by GPS at the moment the officer is standing there, so the report is a record of presence, not a claim of it. Anything abnormal gets a photo and an escalation call to your on-call contact that night, not a note you read three days later.
Vehicle patrol vs. a standing post — how to choose
Patrol wins on cost per property: the same unit covers several sites in a night, so you pay for passes rather than continuous hours. It is the right fit for vacant buildings, small commercial parks, HOA common areas, storage facilities, car lots and church campuses.
A standing post wins when someone has to be present continuously — controlling entry, escorting staff to cars, or holding a compromised opening after a break-in. Many properties run both: nightly patrol as the baseline, standing coverage on the nights with real exposure.
Straight answers, no runaround
Vehicle Patrol Services — questions we get every week
Real questions from business owners, commercial landlords, property managers and HOA boards across Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Roseville and Placer County — answered plainly, including the legal limits.
How much do vehicle patrol services cost?
Patrol is quoted either per pass or as part of an hourly route, with officer time in the $28–$45 per officer hour band. Because one marked unit covers several properties in a night, the cost per property is far lower than a dedicated post. You get a flat written number with no fuel or drive-time surcharges.
How many patrol passes per night should my property get?
Two to three randomized passes covers most commercial and HOA properties. Sites with an active problem — an encampment forming, repeated copper theft, a recent break-in — usually run four or more for the first few weeks, then step down once the activity stops.
How do I know the patrol actually showed up?
Every checkpoint is GPS-scanned on site and appears on your morning report with a time stamp, plus photos of anything abnormal. If a pass is missed, it is visible in the same report — we do not hide it.
Do patrol officers carry firearms?
Most patrol routes are run by uniformed unarmed officers. Armed patrol is available where a documented risk assessment supports it, staffed only by officers holding a current BSIS exposed-firearm permit under our PPO #122730.
Can patrol officers remove trespassers?
Officers can make contact, ask a person to leave, document the encounter, and call law enforcement. Removal by force is not a private security function. Where a property has posted trespass authorization on file with the local agency, that documentation makes enforcement faster.
Which cities do your patrol units cover?
Marked units run nightly through Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Granite Bay, Lincoln, Loomis, Auburn, Grass Valley and Colfax, dispatched from our Sacramento headquarters.
