Construction Site Security — FAQ

• Do you guard construction sites in Sacramento?+

  Yes. Stormhammer protects active and dormant job sites against copper theft, catalytic converter theft, equipment theft, vandalism, and squatting — across Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove and the I-5/Hwy 99 corridor.

• What does construction site patrol cost?+

  Mobile patrol starts at $15/night per site for one randomized GPS-tracked tour. Dedicated overnight posts for high-risk sites are quoted per shift.

• Can you stop copper and equipment theft?+

  Visible marked-unit patrol, randomized arrival times, photo-verified tours, and a documented log entry per stop dramatically reduce loss. We coordinate with the on-site superintendent on access codes and known risk hours.

• Do you handle trespasser and squatter removal?+

  Officers document encroachment, post legal notices on behalf of the GC, and coordinate with Sacramento PD/Sheriff for trespass enforcement. Non-lethal de-escalation only.

• What is the ROI of construction site security in Sacramento?+

  A single copper-theft event on a Sacramento job site typically runs $8,000–$40,000 in stolen wire, ripped-out conduit, drywall damage, and schedule delay. One catalytic converter taken off a generator or boom lift is $1,500–$3,500 plus 3–7 days of downtime. A $15/night Stormhammer patrol ($450/month) pays for itself the first time it deters a single incident — most GCs see 10–30x ROI in the first quarter.

• What are Sacramento's penalties for copper, catalytic converter and metal theft?+

  Under CA Penal Code §496a (junk dealer / recycler liability) and §487 grand theft, copper and catalytic converter theft over $950 is a felony — up to 3 years state prison plus restitution. Sacramento County actively prosecutes catalytic converter cases under AB 1740 (2023), which requires sellers to document lawful possession. We capture license plates, time-stamped photos, and written logs that prosecutors actually use.

• What fines apply to vandalism and graffiti on a Sacramento job site?+

  Sacramento City Code §8.04 and CA Penal Code §594 charge graffiti/vandalism at $400+ for damage under $400 (misdemeanor) and felony exposure above $400, plus mandatory restitution and community service. Property owners can also be cited under Sacramento's graffiti-abatement ordinance if tags aren't removed within 10 days. Documented patrol presence is the cheapest preventative.

• Can you deter homeless encampments, loitering and panhandling near my site?+

  Yes. Stormhammer runs documented sweeps under Sacramento's anti-camping ordinance (City Code §12.52.030) and the City's Comprehensive Siting Plan. Officers post notice, photograph encroachment, and coordinate with DHA outreach and Sacramento PD's Impact Team. Aggressive panhandling within 20 feet of an ATM, parked vehicle, or business entrance is enforceable under City Code §9.16.110 — we document, dispatch, and de-escalate.

• How fast can you deploy construction security in Sacramento?+

  Same-day mobile patrol across Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights, Lincoln and West Sacramento. Dedicated overnight static posts typically start within 24–48 hours. Call dispatch at (530) 902-9390.
