Reports of looting after Los Angeles County wildfires damaged and destroyed homes and businesses have highlighted a critical need: security guards to patrol affected areas once police leave and curfews lift. These areas are particularly vulnerable.

Criminals See An Opportunity. While most people seek ways to help fire victims, criminals see a different opportunity. The fires are affecting many high-end homes, making them targets for those looking to steal valuable items from unoccupied properties. Damaged businesses contain expensive equipment and merchandise that can be easily sold online.

Professional security guards serve as a crucial line of defense, patrolling neighborhoods and commercial properties while watching for suspicious activity. When they encounter individuals in these areas, guards verify their purpose for being there. If explanations don’t align with legitimate reasons, security personnel can detain suspicious individuals and contact law enforcement immediately.

For property owners dealing with fire damage, security guards provide peace of mind, ensuring that their remaining possessions stay protected. Access Patrol Services (APS) specializes in delivering post-fire security services, offering protection for individual homes, businesses, and entire neighborhoods.
