TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN SECURITY We are not a clipboard-and-flashlight guard company. Meta smart glasses. Field officers wear Meta smart glasses for hands-free, first-person capture and live point-of-view streaming to our command center. Supervisors see exactly what the officer sees in real time, and evidence-grade footage is recorded the moment an incident happens — not reconstructed hours later. Independent reporting system. We run our own independent incident reporting and dispatch platform. Every patrol check, tour, and incident is time-stamped, GPS-tagged, and attached to photo and video evidence, then delivered to clients in real time through a secure portal with a tamper-evident audit trail that supports insurance claims, code-enforcement hearings, and litigation. No paper logs and no back-dated reports. Tesla patrol fleet. Our mobile patrol division runs Tesla vehicles with Full Self-Driving capability and 360-degree camera coverage. Vehicles record continuously, watch the perimeter while parked, and stream live GPS so dispatch and clients can verify patrol routes and response times to the minute. Electric patrol also means silent approach and no fuel surcharges. 24/7 command center. Live dispatch, video monitoring, GPS tour verification, automated escalation, and direct coordination with local law enforcement and fire authorities. WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE US Licensed and insured (California PPO 18082), vetted and background-checked officers, transparent flat-rate pricing, same-day deployment, dedicated account management, and documented, defensible reporting on every shift.
