Free Security Plan Generator: Apartment, Construction, Church, Office, Warehouse
A security plan is not a product you buy, it is a document you own. Insurers ask for it, boards vote on it, and officers work from it. Most properties do not have one because nobody wants to start from a blank page.
Choose your property type, check the risks you actually have, and this generates a structured draft plan with a 30, 60, and 90 day rollout you can hand to staff or a vendor.
PPO #122730APARTMENT COMMUNITY SECURITY PLAN — DRAFT Property: [property name] Prepared with the free plan generator at summitsecuritysacramento.com/tools/security-plan-generator 1. SCOPE AND OWNERSHIP Plan owner: ______________________ Reviewed quarterly and after any serious incident. On-site staffing today: unstaffed outside business hours. 2. PRIORITY RISKS IDENTIFIED - Vehicle break-ins - Trespassing or encampments - Graffiti and vandalism 3. ZONES TO COVER - Leasing office and lobby - Parking areas and carports - Stairwells and breezeways - Laundry, gym, pool - Mail and package area - Trash enclosures 4. ACCESS CONTROL - Inventory every gate, door, and credential; list who holds what and when access is revoked - Repair or replace any gate that is propped, broken, or bypassed within 7 days - Log all vendor and contractor access; require check-in and visible ID 5. LIGHTING AND SIGHTLINES - Walk the property after dark and photograph every dark zone and outage - Target even coverage with no dark pockets at entries, parking, and paths of travel - Trim shrubs to roughly 3 feet and tree canopies to roughly 7 feet to restore sightlines - Set a written repair window for lighting outages (48 to 72 hours is a defensible standard) 6. PATROL AND PRESENCE - Randomized patrol passes within a defined coverage window; no fixed schedule - Minimum dwell time per pass with foot checks of the zones listed above - Escalate to a standing post during active incident clusters, then step back down - Post amenity hours and enforce closing - Cluster-box and parcel-locker condition checks - Resident escort protocol after dark 7. DOCUMENTATION - Incident report for every contact, with time, location, description, action, and photos - Nightly activity log delivered to management - Monthly trend review: passes, incidents by type, repeat locations, response times 8. EMERGENCY RESPONSE - 911 first for any life-safety event; officers and staff follow dispatcher instructions - Posted emergency contact sheet at every staff station - Written procedures for fire alarm, medical, active threat, utility failure, and severe weather - Annual walk-through of evacuation and assembly points with staff 9. ROLLOUT Days 1-30: night walk and lighting audit, access inventory, post orders drafted, emergency contact sheet posted. Days 31-60: patrol cadence live and documented, deficiency repairs underway, staff briefed on reporting. Days 61-90: first trend review against incident data, adjust cadence, present results to owner or board. This is a draft planning document, not legal, insurance, or compliance advice, and it is not endorsed by any agency. Have your insurer and, where applicable, counsel review it.

Estimates are planning ranges based on Sacramento, CA-area patrol work, not a quote. Final pricing depends on site walk findings, hours, and post orders.
Common questions
- What should a property security plan include?
- Six things: who may access what and how, lighting and sightline standards, patrol or staffing cadence, documentation and reporting, emergency and escalation procedures, and a review schedule with named owners.
- Is a generated plan good enough for our insurer?
- Use it as the draft, then have your broker and, where applicable, your counsel review it. Carriers have specific expectations and this tool cannot know yours.
- How often should the plan be reviewed?
- Quarterly against incident data, and immediately after any serious incident, ownership change, or major site alteration such as a new gate or building.
- Do you charge for the plan?
- No. The generator is free with no email required. If you want us to walk the property and turn it into post orders, that is where we come in.
