What Santa Ana properties need
Santa Ana is the county seat of Orange County, with government buildings, courts, a busy downtown, large apartment neighborhoods and some of the biggest industrial areas in the county. Common problems we hear about are trespassing and encampments near vacant buildings, vehicle break-ins in parking lots, graffiti, and theft from construction sites and warehouses.
We provide Santa Ana property owners with overnight guards, mobile patrol and fire watch, and our bilingual officers are a good fit for the many Spanish-speaking tenants and customers in the city. Every visit and shift is documented with time-stamped photos so managers have a record for owners, insurance and police reports.
