Local security that proves itself

Lakewood has a large share of apartment communities, retail centers and service businesses, plus a community shaped by nearby Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Our officers handle lobby and gate posts, parking patrols and after-hours lock-checks, and every round is verified by NFC checkpoint.

We also cover Tillicum, American Lake, Steilacoom, University Place and DuPont. Patrols run on a random schedule, so they cannot be predicted, and every visit appears in your portal right away.

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 Lakewood

Simple steps that lower risk at most Lakewood 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.
