Contractor Theft Protection — Sacramento Subcontractor Patrol
When a sub's tool trailer is hit, they don't bid your next job. Stormhammer marked-unit patrol protects every contractor on the site — gang boxes, work trucks, staged material, and the temporary office — with documented overnight tours and same-shift escalation to SPD.
What you're seeing
- Subs threatening to pull off the job after a hit
- Multi-trade losses in a single overnight event
- Temporary office trailer broken into for paperwork or laptops
- Material lifts, scaffolds, or staged drywall walked off
- Subs invoicing back lost-tool premiums against your retention
How we respond
- Whole-site blanket patrol — every sub's gear photographed per tour
- Trailer hitch + lock verification on every contractor trailer on-site
- Temporary office + Conex container seal check each visit
- Plate capture protocol + SPD escalation on active intrusion
- Daily PDF to GC distributed to each affected sub's PM

Frequently asked questions
Who pays for site patrol on a multi-sub job?+
Usually the GC carries patrol as a general conditions line item — the cost is far smaller than the retention deductions and lost-sub goodwill from even one major theft event. Cost is typically split across the schedule of values or absorbed in GCs / GRs.
Will you brief our subs at the kickoff meeting?+
Yes — we attend pre-mob meetings, brief subs on patrol schedule, dispatch line, and incident reporting expectations. Officers introduce themselves to every trade's foreman within the first week.
