“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.”
HOA boards and apartment property managers hire courtesy patrol services for four outcomes: visible deterrence after dark, documented CC&R and lease-violation enforcement, a 24/7 phone line for resident noise or trespass complaints, and an evidence trail that stands up in board meetings, unlawful-detainer filings and insurance claims. Stormhammer Security, Inc. delivers all four with the same marked-SUV fleet, the same BSIS-licensed officers and the same GPS-verified reporting system across 27 cities in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties. Pick your city below for local pricing, patrol windows and route-density detail.

Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
What are courtesy patrol services?+
Courtesy patrol services are uniformed, unarmed security patrols that make randomized visits to HOAs, apartment communities and mixed-use properties — walking common areas, documenting CC&R and lease violations with time-stamped photos, responding to resident noise or trespass calls, and filing a sunrise PDF report with GPS-verified checkpoints.
How much do courtesy patrol services cost in the Sacramento region?+
Stormhammer Security, Inc. courtesy patrol services start at $15 per GPS-stamped visit. Most communities run 3–6 visits per night on randomized schedules; a typical 100-unit property budgets $900–$1,800/month. Dedicated roving is $189/night and standing courtesy posts run $28–$34/hour.
Which cities do you offer courtesy patrol services in?+
We run nightly courtesy patrol routes across every incorporated city and unincorporated pocket inside a 50-mile Sacramento dispatch radius — Sacramento, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Natomas, North Highlands, Antelope, Rio Linda, Galt, Wilton, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Loomis, Granite Bay, Auburn, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Placerville, West Sacramento, Davis, Woodland and Winters.
Are your courtesy patrol officers licensed?+
Every officer carries a current CA BSIS Guard Card. Stormhammer Security, Inc. operates under PPO PPO #121830, carries $2M/$4M general liability, workers' comp and non-owned auto coverage. Certificate of Insurance is issued to your management company in one business day.
How is courtesy patrol different from a standing security guard?+
A standing guard is fixed to one post for a full shift. Courtesy patrol is mobile and randomized — one marked SUV covers your property in multiple unpredictable visits per night, at roughly one-quarter the cost of a dedicated guard, while still delivering photo-verified deterrence and CC&R enforcement.
Can courtesy patrol enforce HOA CC&Rs and apartment lease rules?+
Yes. Officers document violations — parking, noise, unauthorized guests, pool-hour breaches, trash-room misuse — with time-stamped photos and file them in the sunrise report so your board, property manager or landlord has an evidentiary trail suitable for warning letters, fines and unlawful-detainer filings.
How fast can courtesy patrol services start?+
Most Sacramento-region addresses can start tonight if a signed agreement is received before 5 PM. Onboarding — post orders, incident-escalation matrix, resident notice templates — is complete inside 48 hours.
Do you respond to resident calls at 2 AM?+
Yes. Residents and on-site management can call our 24/7 dispatch line and the nearest patrol SUV rolls to the address — median arrival is under 15 minutes inside the Sacramento freeway loop.
