Case Study: Mobile Patrol Services for a Low-Income Housing Apartment Complex in Seattle
A low-income housing apartment complex in Seattle partnered with us to address ongoing safety concerns and create a more secure living environment for residents. With a diverse community of families and individuals, the property management team sought a reliable security solution to deter crime, manage disturbances, and foster a sense of safety for residents and visitors.
The Challenge
The apartment complex faced several unique challenges common to low-income housing:
• High Crime Rates: Frequent incidents of theft, vandalism, and trespassing were impacting resident safety and property conditions.
• Disturbances and Loitering: Managing unauthorized gatherings and ensuring community rules were respected.
• Limited Resources: Balancing effective security measures within budget constraints to ensure affordability for residents.
• Building Resident Trust: Establishing a positive relationship with residents, many of whom may feel hesitant toward security personnel.
The property management team needed a proactive security partner capable of addressing these challenges while remaining sensitive to the needs of the community.
Our Solution
We developed a comprehensive mobile patrol program tailored to the specific needs of the apartment complex. Key components of our service included:
• Frequent Mobile Patrols: Security officers conducted routine patrols of the property, focusing on high-risk areas such as parking lots, entryways, and shared spaces.
• Crime Deterrence: Officers provided a visible security presence to discourage criminal activity and unauthorized access to the property.
• Community Engagement: Our guards built rapport with residents, addressing concerns, providing assistance, and fostering trust within the community.
• Rule Enforcement: Guards monitored for compliance with property rules, including noise regulations, loitering prevention, and parking enforcement.
• Incident Response and Reporting: Our team responded promptly to disturbances and provided detailed incident reports to property management for follow-up actions.
This customized approach ensured safety and security without compromising the welcoming and supportive atmosphere of the complex.

Our mobile patrol services delivered measurable improvements for the apartment complex:
• Reduced Crime Incidents: Reports of theft and vandalism dropped substantially within the first three months.
• Improved Resident Trust: Regular engagement with residents helped build confidence in the property’s security measures and fostered a sense of community.
