California residents choose to live in gated communities for different reasons. Some prefer the peace and quiet of not living on traditional “through streets.” Some enjoy the privacy of not having outsiders around and the comfort of knowing that people who are present have a legitimate reason for being there. Some are seeking beautifully maintained landscaping and serene surroundings. There is one purpose that all residents of gated communities have in common: they are seeking greater security.
Gated communities were created as a response to the fear of violent crime. Being able to create a neighborhood that was surrounded by a barrier of fences, gates, and brick walls was a way of staking out a territory where it was safe to live, much like circling the wagons to unite a group of people in the common purpose of avoiding attacks.
Walls, fences, and gates can only do so much without a physical human presence. If a would-be criminal was to scale a fence and gain access to a private street, who would be there to see it or to report it and get help?
The California Safety Agency can provide gated community security that is available seven days a week and 24 hours per day, including weekends and holidays. Our security officers are trained and certified to work in communities in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, San Bernadino, and Orange Counties.
A few of the services provided by the California Safety Agency include scheduled and random patrols on foot and in vehicles and traffic enforcement using radar. Traffic enforcement patrols inside your gated communities can accomplish the following goals:
-
enforce speed limits,
-
provide a deterrence against drag racing and other dangerous driving practices,
-
catch drunk and impaired drivers,
-
maintain a safe environment for children, pets, bicyclists, and pedestrians,
-
reduce and prevent accidents and property damage, and
-
deter criminal behavior.
The key to gated community security is to be proactive. The presence of trained experienced security guards from the California Safety Agency can make that a reality. Contact us today to learn more or to schedule an appointment for a consultation.
