Trespass Enforcement — Sacramento Properties & After-Hours Sites
An unsigned trespass advisement is worthless. Stormhammer issues, signs, and documents trespass advisements under California Penal Code §602, walks your perimeter on a randomized schedule, and escalates repeat offenders to Sacramento PD with a clean photo-and-timestamp paper trail.

Frequently asked — trespassing
Frequently asked questions
Can a security guard arrest a trespasser in California?+
A guard may make a citizen's arrest under PC §837 for a misdemeanor committed in their presence, including PC §602 trespass after a refused advisement. Stormhammer's policy is to detain only when policy and law clearly permit, and to escalate to Sacramento PD as the default response.
Do you handle vacant buildings and dormant construction sites?+
Yes — dormant GC sites, vacant retail, and shuttered offices are core accounts. Randomized GPS-tracked tours, lock-up verification, and immediate dispatch escalation if a seal is broken.
