What Long Beach properties need
Long Beach is one of the largest cities in Southern California, and its security needs change from block to block. Downtown and the waterfront deal with foot traffic, loitering and after-hours trespassing around apartment towers, offices and parking structures. Belmont Shore and the 2nd Street corridor see busy nightlife, so restaurants and retail centers often want evening guards. Further north, apartment communities and shopping centers ask for overnight patrols, and the industrial areas near the port need gate control for truck yards, warehouses and equipment lots.
Because APS is based next door in Seal Beach, Long Beach is one of the areas where we can respond and start service the fastest. Property managers here like that our officers check in with GPS and send photo reports, so they can see what happened overnight without driving to the property.
