“Stormhammer's nightly patrol logs go straight into our board packet. Calls dropped, residents feel safer, and the GPS-verified tours give us something to hand the insurer. Best vendor decision the board has made in years.”
“Sprinkler went down on a Friday night. Stormhammer had a fire-watch officer on site within 90 minutes, fully NFPA compliant, with a written log for the fire marshal Monday morning.”
“Cut our overnight security spend almost in half and the residents actually see the patrol vehicle on the property now. The photo-verified arrivals are a game changer for our owners' reporting.”
Sacramento PD's average alarm response time for a Priority 3 burglary alarm is 45–90 minutes. Stormhammer Security, Inc. closes that gap for $35–$65/month — a private uniformed officer in a marked patrol vehicle arrives on-scene in under 10 minutes, verifies the alarm, photographs any damage, and either clears the site or stays until police arrive. Prevents false-alarm fines. Insurance discount eligible.
How the service works
Your monitoring provider (ADX Alarm Systems, Ring, Vivint, Alarm.com, private central station) dispatches police as usual and simultaneously calls our 24/7 dispatch. Nothing changes about your existing alarm setup.

Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
How fast do you respond to an alarm in Sacramento?+
Average on-scene response time is under 10 minutes anywhere inside the Sacramento city limits, under 18 minutes across Elk Grove, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Rancho Cordova and Natomas. Sacramento PD's published average alarm response time is 45–90 minutes for a Priority 3 burglary alarm (most residential alarms). Stormhammer Security, Inc. exists to close that gap.
Does this replace my ADX Alarm Systems / Ring / Vivint monitoring?+
No — it works with any monitoring provider. Your existing monitoring center dispatches police as usual and simultaneously calls our 24/7 dispatch line. Our officer responds, verifies the alarm on-site, and either clears it (photo-documented) or stays with the property until Sacramento PD arrives. Many Sacramento cities now issue false-alarm fines after the 2nd or 3rd police response — private verification prevents those fines.
How much does alarm response service cost?+
Two models: (1) Subscription — $35–$65/month flat rate covers unlimited alarm responses on a single property (best for residential and small commercial); (2) Per-response — $75–$150 per dispatch with no monthly fee (best for large portfolios where alarms are rare). No response charge if the alarm clears before the officer arrives.
What happens when your officer arrives?+
The officer performs a full perimeter check with flashlight, verifies all doors and windows are secure, photographs any signs of entry or damage, and either clears the alarm or stays on-scene with 911 dispatched. A time-stamped report with photos is emailed within 60 minutes of dispatch — suitable for insurance claims and monitoring center records.
Do you dispatch armed or unarmed officers?+
Default alarm response is by an unarmed, uniformed officer in a marked patrol vehicle — the visible presence is the deterrent. Armed alarm response is available for high-risk sites (cash-handling, cannabis, jewelry, past armed-robbery history) with a formal client request. Every armed officer holds a current California BSIS armed guard card.
Do you serve residential customers, or just commercial?+
Both. Residential Sacramento homeowners subscribe at $35/month for unlimited alarm response to a single home. Commercial clients (retail, warehouses, auto dealerships, dispensaries, medical offices) subscribe on a per-site basis or bundle with dedicated overnight coverage. HOAs can subscribe the whole community on a single account. Stormhammer Security, Inc. handles the paperwork with your monitoring provider.
Will Sacramento cities fine me for false alarms?+
Yes — Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville and Rocklin all issue false-alarm fines starting at $50 and escalating to $500+ after the 3rd police dispatch. Private alarm response prevents most false-alarm fines because our officer verifies the alarm before police are re-dispatched. Most subscribers save more in fines and insurance discounts than the monthly subscription costs.
