Private Security Patrol & Private Patrol Operators

Stormhammer Security is a California BSIS Private Patrol Operator (PPO #121830) running marked private security patrol units across the Sacramento metro. A private patrol officer is a licensed, insured guard who works under a written post order — not an off-duty rover. Mobile private patrol from $15/night includes GPS-stamped checkpoints, photo-verified shift reports, and direct radio to local law enforcement dispatch.

Courtesy patrol

Courtesy Patrol for Apartments, HOAs & Communities

A courtesy patrol is a uniformed, non-confrontational visible presence requested by HOA boards and apartment property managers to walk pools, parking decks, mail rooms, and amenity spaces during quiet hours. Our courtesy patrol officers issue lawful trespass warnings, document policy violations with photos, and escalate to Sacramento PD or the Sheriff only when conditions warrant — keeping resident incident reports clean and tenant retention high.

Night Patrol, Night Watch & Watchman Service

Our night patrol — sometimes called a night watch or watchman service — runs randomized vehicle tours between dusk and dawn. Marked black Ford Explorers with amber light bars are the single most visible deterrent in the Sacramento private security market. Each tour hits perimeter checkpoints (NFC or geofence), documents conditions, and produces a sunrise PDF report. Night protection without the cost of a stationary guard.

24/7 Security Guard Patrol & 24-Hour Security Monitoring

A true 24/7 security guard patrol is more than overnight tours — it is dispatch coverage answered live around the clock, with 24-hour security monitoring of camera feeds, alarm panels, and access control as one integrated service. Stormhammer's 24/7 patrol dispatch never routes to voicemail. Call (530) 902-9390 at 3 a.m. and a human picks up — that is the single most-cited reason Sacramento property managers switch to us from larger national firms.

After-hours

After-Hours Patrol, Night Lock-Up & Night Unlock Service

After-hours security covers the highest-risk window for retail and commercial properties: the 30 minutes around closing and the 30 minutes around opening. Our night lock-up service walks the building, clears restrooms and back-of-house, sets the alarm, and confirms exterior doors. The matching night unlock service is on site before staff arrive — clearing the building before the first employee swipes in. After-hours patrol can be added as a standalone or bundled with nightly tours.

Homeless & encampment response

Homeless Removal & Encampment Clearing — Lawful, Documented

Homeless removal is the most-requested call we get from Sacramento storefronts and property managers. We do it correctly: a uniformed officer issues a CPC §602 trespass warning, documents the contact on body-worn camera, offers contact info for the Sacramento Homeless Outreach team, and only escalates to SPD or the Sheriff if the subject refuses to leave after lawful warning. The result is a clear storefront, a defensible paper trail, and zero civil-rights exposure for the property.

Property Monitoring, Building Watch & Vacant Property Patrol

Property monitoring and building watch are the bread and butter of mobile patrol: a marked unit checks vacant buildings, construction trailers, model homes, leasing offices, and end-of-lease storefronts on randomized tours. Each visit timestamps perimeter doors, windows, gates, and roof access. If anything is compromised between tours, the next officer on the route is the first one to know — not the property manager checking on Monday morning.

Tenant Retention, Property Beautification & Blight Prevention

Patrol is also an asset-value play. Visible, professional private security drives tenant retention (residents renew when they feel safe), supports property beautification by flagging graffiti, broken lighting, and dumped furniture before it compounds, and is one of the most effective forms of blight prevention in commercial corridors. We surface every condition in the morning report so property managers can act before a small problem becomes a code-enforcement issue.

FAQ

Private patrol, night watch & after-hours security FAQ

  • What is the difference between courtesy patrol and private security patrol?+

    A courtesy patrol is a visible, non-confrontational presence — uniformed officers walk amenity spaces, issue policy reminders, and document conditions. A private security patrol is a broader contracted service that adds trespass enforcement, incident response, and post-order escalation to law enforcement. Most Sacramento HOAs and apartment communities run a courtesy patrol; most commercial and construction sites run a full private security patrol.

  • How much does 24-hour security patrol cost in Sacramento?+

    Mobile 24-hour security patrol coverage starts at $15 per tour. A typical 4-tours-per-night night-patrol package runs $45–$60/night. Dedicated all-night patrol (one officer assigned to a small cluster of nearby properties) starts around $189/night. Static 24/7 security monitoring with a posted guard runs $26–$38/hour unarmed. Call (530) 902-9390 for a same-day quote tied to your property profile.

  • Do you offer night watch and watchman service for commercial properties?+

    Yes — night watch and watchman service are core products. Our officers run randomized vehicle tours, check every perimeter door, document conditions with timestamped photos, and clear any active homeless encampments under lawful CPC §602 trespass warnings. Night protection runs dusk-to-dawn with a sunrise PDF report.

  • Can a private patrol legally remove homeless people from my storefront?+

    A licensed private security officer can issue a lawful trespass warning under California Penal Code §602 and request that the individual leave the property. If they refuse, the officer documents the refusal on body-worn camera and contacts Sacramento PD or the Sheriff for enforcement. We do not use force, we do not seize property, and we always offer Sacramento Homeless Outreach contact info — this protects the property owner from civil-rights claims.

  • What is included in night lock-up and night unlock service?+

    Night lock-up: officer arrives at closing, sweeps restrooms and back-of-house, confirms no one is locked inside, sets the alarm, secures exterior doors, and reports any conditions found. Night unlock: officer arrives 15–30 minutes before opening, clears the building, disarms the alarm, and stands by until the first employee arrives. Both services are GPS-stamped and photo-documented.

  • Do you provide 24-hour security monitoring of cameras and alarms?+

    Yes — Stormhammer's 24-hour security monitoring desk integrates with most commercial camera systems and central-station alarm panels. When a camera or alarm trips, our dispatch verifies the event and rolls a marked patrol unit on a verified-response basis. This is the single fastest way to stop a break-in in progress.

  • How does patrol improve tenant retention and property beautification?+

    Visible, professional patrol reduces resident complaints about loitering, noise, and package theft — the three highest predictors of non-renewal in Sacramento apartment turnover surveys. Patrol officers also flag graffiti, broken lights, dumped furniture, and unauthorized vehicles in the morning report so property staff can address blight before it spreads. Multiple Sacramento PM firms cite patrol as the single highest-ROI line item on the property budget.

  • Are your private patrol officers licensed in California?+

    Yes. Stormhammer Security operates under California BSIS Private Patrol Operator license PPO #121830. Every officer carries a current BSIS guard card. Armed officers — when contracted — carry valid exposed-firearm permits. License verification is public at bsis.ca.gov.
