    Strip Mall vs. Regional Mall Security

    Security needs grow with the size of the center, so we size coverage to match.

    Shopping Center Parking Lot Patrols

    Parking lots are where many shopping center incidents happen, from car break-ins to purse snatching. Our patrols keep them watched.

    Center Assessment

    We walk your center with management, review incident history and tenant concerns, and set patrol routes and posts.

    Tenant Support

    Officers check in with tenants, respond to their calls and share information about repeat problem visitors.

    Daily Reports

    Property managers receive daily reports of patrols, incidents, trespass warnings and maintenance issues found on patrol.
