Local security that proves itself
Vancouver is home base for OX Sentinel. Our command center, supervisors and patrol vehicles start here, so properties along Mill Plain, Fourth Plain, the Waterfront and the Vancouver Mall corridor get the fastest response we offer anywhere in Washington.
Clark County is growing fast: new apartment communities in Salmon Creek and Orchards, logistics buildings near the Port of Vancouver, and retail and medical offices along SR-500. We tailor coverage to each: standing officers where a visible presence matters, random-time mobile patrols where you need deterrence without paying for a full post.

What you get that other guard companies don’t
Verified patrols
Every checkpoint is GPS-stamped and NFC/QR-verified. No more paper logs filled in at the end of the night.
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 Vancouver
Simple steps that lower risk at most Vancouver 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.
