With 34 home burglaries in 35 days, many taking place in gated communities, Irvine, California residents are shaken. Irvine is ranked the safest place in the nation to live when it comes to crime, but even residents in safe cities must be on alert. That’s why many gated communities are hiring security guards to patrol their neighborhoods.

Gated Communities Are Targets. A gated entrance (especially unattended) to a neighborhood offers little protection against criminals who are intent on breaking into homes. They can pose as contractors or delivery personnel. They can easily hop over walls to enter. Homes in gated communities are typically higher-end so criminals know that the odds are good that valuable items will be inside. Criminals also know that residents in gated communities often have a false sense of security and are more likely to leave doors and garages unlocked.

Homeowners’ associations are hiring licensed security guards to safeguard their gated communities. The guards are stationed at the front gate, around public areas and patrol the neighborhoods. They provide security for community and private events.

Access Patrol Services is a bonded and experienced security guard company that provides gated community security in California and Arizona. All security guards are licensed and can be armed or unarmed.
