Every time a Sacramento security guard shooting hits the news, property owners, HOAs, and apartment operators get the same call from their insurance carrier. Stormhammer’s answer is simple: a fully unarmed, non-lethal BSIS-licensed mobile patrol that deters crime through visibility, body-cam documentation, and direct law-enforcement coordination — not gunfire.
When a Sacramento security guard shooting happens, the headlines name the officer — but the lawsuits name everyone: the security company, the property owner, the property-management firm, and any LLC in the chain of title. California’s premises-liability and respondeat-superior doctrines make it routine for plaintiffs’ counsel to reach past the guard and into the owner’s general-liability tower. Seven-figure verdicts are not rare. Premium increases on renewal are guaranteed.
Loitering, trespass, illegal dumping, after-hours pool/gym misuse, vehicle break-in deterrence, vacant-unit checks, dumpster-area squatter clearance, short-term-rental nuisance, courtesy lockouts, escort to vehicle, and the documented written incident reports your insurance carrier and your HOA board actually want to see. These are the calls that drive 95% of property complaints in Sacramento — and none of them require a firearm.
Carriers underwriting Sacramento multifamily and commercial portfolios increasingly require disclosure of armed-versus-unarmed security contracts. Many quote materially lower premiums, or waive exclusionary endorsements, when the contracted patrol is unarmed and non-lethal. Ask your broker what an unarmed-only endorsement does to your next renewal — the answer surprises most owners.

California courts have repeatedly held property owners and management companies vicariously liable when a contracted armed guard discharges a firearm — even when the guard is the named defendant. Plaintiffs’ attorneys routinely add the premises owner, the property-management firm, and the security company under negligent-hiring, negligent-supervision, and respondeat-superior theories. The simplest way to take that risk off the table is to contract an UNARMED, non-lethal patrol provider.
Yes. The overwhelming majority of incidents on Sacramento apartment, retail, and commercial properties are loitering, trespass, vehicle break-ins, illegal dumping, and after-hours nuisance — none of which require a firearm. A marked patrol SUV, uniformed BSIS-licensed officer, body-camera, spotlight, and direct line to Sacramento PD / Sheriff dispatch resolve the overwhelming majority of these calls without escalation.
Observe, document, deter, and call law enforcement. Our officers carry a flashlight, radio, body-worn camera, and a written incident pad — no firearm, no baton-strike doctrine, no chemical agents on standard patrol assignments. We treat ourselves as the eyes and ears of the property and of SPD / SSD, not as a use-of-force unit.
No — and they shouldn’t. Our standing post orders are explicit: if a guard observes an in-progress violent felony, the guard creates distance, activates the body camera, calls 911, narrates a clean witness statement on camera, and stays available for SPD on arrival. That is the model that survives a courtroom, not a Wild-West confrontation.
Public verdicts and settlements in California premises-liability cases involving security-guard shootings frequently run into the seven figures, plus reputational damage, lease terminations from corporate tenants, and dramatic spikes in your general-liability premium. The cost of switching to an unarmed program is, in nearly every case, a rounding error against that exposure.
Yes. Visibility is the deterrent. A marked patrol SUV with an amber light bar, a uniformed officer making logged door-pulls and parking-lot sweeps, and posted notices that the property is under nightly licensed patrol move criminal opportunity off your property and onto the next address. That is the entire premise of the $15/night patrol model.
