Local security that proves itself
Tacoma runs on logistics. Container yards, distribution centers and truck parking along the Port of Tacoma and in Fife need gate control, trailer checks and perimeter patrols that are logged, not just promised. Our officers verify every round at NFC checkpoints, so you can prove coverage to insurers and auditors.
We also protect Tacoma’s apartments, retail centers and offices downtown and in Lakewood and University Place. Mobile patrols visit at random times so the schedule can’t be predicted, and every visit shows up in your portal within seconds.

Property safety checklist for Tacoma
Simple steps that lower risk at most Tacoma 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.
