Overnight Construction Site & Industrial Asset Protection Patrols in Sacramento & Placer County

Coverage is billed flat at $28-$45 per officer hour, quoted in writing before an officer deploys. Where it lands in that range depends on whether you need a standing post, mobile patrol through the site, or both, and how many hours per night the job actually needs. We work out the specifics during a short walkthrough or phone call, not by guessing at a package price over the phone.

The most effective step is unpredictable, documented overnight coverage during the rough-in to drywall window, when wire and spooled cable are staged in the open. Mobile officers vary their route and timing through electrical rooms and staging areas, and material counts logged at shift start and end mean a shortage is tied to a specific night. We cannot guarantee zero theft, but a visible, logged patrol changes the calculation for anyone scouting the site.

Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons builders call. Officers check the structures, stairwells, laydown yard and back edge on each pass, ask anyone on site after hours to leave, and call 911 or the non-emergency line when someone refuses or when there is a hazard like an open fire or needles. They do not physically remove or detain people. Everything found — tents, bedding, trash, evidence of entry — is photographed and written up the same night so you and the owner have a paper trail for abatement or a trespass letter.

They solve different problems. Cameras record what happened after the fact, if they were not disabled or stolen along with everything else. An officer on site can intervene by calling 911 immediately and can check things a camera cannot see, like whether a fence panel has been lifted or a trailer seal replaced. Most sites we work get the most value from patrol plus whatever cameras the GC already has, not one instead of the other.

On sites without a finished perimeter, mobile patrol usually works better than a fixed post, because an officer can cover the full open footprint of the lot rather than one gate. We log material counts at the start and end of each shift and flag any breach point in the temporary fencing so it gets addressed before it becomes a repeat entry point.

Yes. Laydown yards and staging lots that are unpaved, unlit or only partially fenced are common in Rancho Cordova, Rocklin and Placer County, and mobile patrol is typically the right fit for them. Passes are GPS-verified and timestamped so the superintendent gets a real record of when the lot was checked, and officers specifically check fence lines, gate hardware and equipment for signs of tampering.

File a police report first and get the report number; insurers and prosecutors both need it. Then leave the scene alone — pried lids, cut wire ends, cut fence panels and tire tracks are the evidence, and sweeping up destroys it. Photograph the point of entry wide and close, pull any camera or doorbell footage that night before it overwrites, note which trades were last on site and who holds gate keys or lock codes, and build an itemized loss list with serial and model numbers. If we were covering the site, your shift report already timestamps when each area was checked and in what condition, which is usually the piece adjusters push back on.

Repeat hits are the norm — anyone who cleared copper or a generator once will come back for the rest. After a loss we tighten the schedule onto the nights and hours that match the hit pattern, add the exact entry point they used as a named checkpoint in the post orders, and deliberately randomize pass timing so the site stops being predictable. If your crew keeps finding the same lifted fence panel or the same defeated gate hardware, that becomes a documented check every single pass.

Officers call 911 first. They do not detain, chase, physically confront, or attempt to search anyone — that is outside what a private security officer is legally permitted to do in California. Officers document what they observed from a safe distance: vehicle description, direction of travel, what was taken, and time. That documentation goes to law enforcement and into the written report for your insurer.

Usually, yes. Dispatch is live 24/7 and same-night deployment is routine, including calls that come in on a Friday afternoon for weekend coverage. We will still want a few minutes on the phone or a quick walkthrough to understand the site layout, what needs to be covered, and what phase the job is in before an officer arrives.

Each shift produces a written log covering the times an officer was on site, the route walked or driven, material and equipment counts at start and end of shift, anything unusual observed, and photos of key staging areas, gates and fence lines. It is built to be handed directly to your insurer or the GC if a loss occurs, not just an internal note.

We cover jobsites throughout the Sacramento region and Placer County, including Roseville, Rocklin, Loomis, Auburn and unincorporated county sites, on the same flat hourly rate and reporting standard we use in Sacramento, Citrus Heights and Rancho Cordova.

It depends on the phase of the job. During material delivery, rough MEP work and equipment mobilization, most sites need either a standing overnight post or frequent mobile passes through the night. Once the building is closed in and materials are locked inside, coverage can often scale back to fewer passes or spot coverage around deliveries. We size it to the actual risk during the first walkthrough rather than selling a flat package that does not match the job.

Construction & Industrial Asset Protection is dispatched to Sacramento, Auburn, Rocklin, Roseville and Lincoln and the surrounding Sacramento and Placer County communities. Each city has its own page with local corridors, pricing bands and the arrival window dispatch commits to for that address.

Yes. One agreement can carry several addresses with separate post orders per site, which is how most multi-city portfolios are handled. Sites on a shared route generally price better than the same addresses quoted as standalone jobs.

Clients most often combine it with storefront & encampment defense, transients & drug activity response, hoa & property management patrols and emergency fire watch & compliance. Each of those has its own page with scope, pricing bands and post orders, and any combination can be written into a single contract rather than split between vendors.

That is the usual path. Coverage typically starts at the site with the most exposure, then extends to nearby addresses once the route and post orders are proven. Expansion does not require a new agreement — the added addresses are appended with their own post orders.
