Local security that proves itself
From Downtown and South Lake Union towers to SoDo warehouses and Northgate apartments, Seattle properties face different risks block by block. We build post orders around your building: lobby and access control, garage and perimeter rounds, after-hours lock-up, and clear escalation rules for your team.
Every Seattle client gets OX Command: a live portal where you see each checkpoint verified by GPS and NFC, every incident report with photos, and a plain-language Morning Brief at 8:30 AM (adjustable). If something happens at 2 AM, you know what was done about it before you finish your coffee.

Morning Brief
At 8:30 AM (adjustable) you get the story of the night in plain language: hours protected, checkpoints, incidents, issues found.
Officer safety
SOS, man-down and fall detection, welfare checks and live location. Your officers are never alone.
Sealed reports
Every report carries a tamper-evident seal anyone can verify. Ideal for insurers, courts and audits.

Property safety checklist for Seattle
Simple steps that lower risk at most Seattle properties, whether or not you hire us.
Light the paths people use
Check parking lots, walkways and entrances after dark. Replace dead fixtures quickly; dark corners invite loitering and break-ins.
Close the easy doors
Propped doors, broken closers and shared gate codes are the most common way in. Test every door once a week and change codes often.
Make patrols unpredictable
A guard who walks the same route at the same time is easy to avoid. Randomized rounds with verified checkpoints are much harder to work around.
Keep proof, not promises
Ask for timestamped patrol records and incident reports. They help with insurance claims, police reports and tenant questions.
Give tenants a way to report
A simple QR code or phone number for reporting problems catches issues early, before they become incidents.
Review incidents monthly
Look at where and when problems happen and adjust lighting, access or patrol times. Our clients get a monthly Safety Score that does this for them.
