Each foothill town has its own patrol plan, and the flat $28–$45 per officer hour rate applies with no travel surcharge.",

          "question": "Does Summit Force cover Auburn and the Placer foothills?",
          "answer": "Yes. Auburn, North Auburn, Colfax, Foresthill, Meadow Vista, Applegate, Newcastle, Loomis, Penryn, Granite Bay and neighbouring foothill towns are inside the 50-mile dispatch radius. Coverage is billed at the same $28–$45 per officer hour flat rate as Sacramento, with plans written per town rather than from a template."

          "question": "Which agency responds with security patrol in Auburn?",
          "answer": "Inside Auburn city limits, officers coordinate with the Auburn Police Department; unincorporated North Auburn and the surrounding foothill pockets fall to the Placer County Sheriff's Office. Summit Force officers document, photograph and escalate to whichever agency holds the address rather than acting as police."
