Eight Service Pillars

Every service we offer was built for multifamily.

The problem

Multifamily properties absorb 7× more incident reports than single-family homes.

Generic security firms try to handle multifamily the same way they handle a strip mall or a corporate lobby — and it fails. A 200-unit community is a small village with insurance liabilities, lease-renewal economics, and resident-relationship dynamics that have nothing in common with a shoplifter at a department store.

HPD doesn’t patrol private parking lots. Property management can’t serve criminal-trespass notices. Camera footage is useless if nobody is watching it at 2 a.m. The default state of a multifamily property is exposure — and ownership pays the cost in lease churn, premium hikes, and the occasional lawsuit.

Our approach — specialists, not generalists

Four ways we’re built differently for multifamily.

01

Property-First Onboarding

CPTED walkthrough on day one. We map every blind alcove, dark stairwell, and unlit corner before a single patrol shift is scheduled. That walkthrough is free.

02

Dedicated Officer Pool

Same faces every shift. Officers recognize your residents, your maintenance crew, and the silver Civic that doesn’t belong in spot 142. Familiarity is the strongest deterrent there is.

03

PM-Software Integration

Incident reports filed directly into AppFolio, Yardi, RealPage, or Entrata — not a separate PDF your regional manager has to chase. One workflow, one paper trail.

04

Monthly Ownership Reports

Crime-stat deltas vs. ZIP-code baseline, response-time percentiles, top three risk locations on your property — not a generic activity log. Built for asset managers and HOA boards.

Our manifesto

We don’t guard malls. We don’t guard concerts. We don’t guard office towers. Apartment communities only.

Specialization is a moat, not a limitation. Every other vertical has needs that conflict directly with multifamily mastery — and trying to serve all of them at once is how generic firms end up serving none of them well.

Retail — the shoplifter mindset

Retail security trains officers to identify thieves on sight and confront. That instinct is exactly wrong for multifamily, where every “suspicious” person might be a resident’s cousin visiting from Dallas. We hire and train for resident relationships, not arrest stats.

Events — ad-hoc post staffing

Event firms staff a different venue every weekend with whoever shows up. Multifamily needs the opposite: a dedicated officer pool that knows your community by name and sticks around long enough to build the institutional memory that prevents incidents.

Offices — the 9-to-5 lobby

Corporate security wraps up at 6 p.m. and the building empties. Multifamily is at peak occupancy at 2 a.m. We staff for the 24/7 community where incidents actually happen — not the 9-to-5 lobby that’s empty when it matters.

From the property owners we protect

Built for asset managers, verified by them.

“We switched from a national firm that treated our 280-unit property like a Walgreens. The same four officers now rotate every shift — residents know their names. After-hours noise complaints down 41% in six months.”

“The monthly ownership report alone was worth the contract. Crime-stat deltas, response percentiles, top three risk locations on the property — everything I need for the asset committee in one PDF. No other firm we’ve used did that.”

“Our 96-home HOA had been ignored by every patrol service we contacted — they all wanted strip-mall accounts. Multifamily Top Security treated us like a flagship from week one. The CPTED walkthrough caught two lighting failures we never noticed.”

Frequently Asked

The questions every property manager asks.

Do you guard non-multifamily properties?

No. Apartment communities, condominiums, townhomes, and mixed-use multifamily only. We turn down retail, office, event, and warehouse contracts every week. Specialization is the entire reason our patrol officers know what a 280-unit Galleria community needs at 2 a.m.

What’s your minimum property size?

No minimum. We protect 24-unit boutique buildings and 600-unit Class A communities with the same dedicated-officer model. A small townhome HOA gets the same CPTED-first onboarding as a high-rise condominium.

Armed or unarmed officers?

Both are available, but the default is unarmed Level II officers for routine multifamily patrol — the resident-relationship model works better that way. Armed Level III officers are deployed for eviction standby, high-risk set-outs, and specific properties where ownership requests them after the CPTED assessment.

How fast is your dispatch?

Average under 60 seconds for properties under standing contract. Active break-ins, domestic disturbances, and gunfire reports trigger immediate radio dispatch to the patrol officer already on your property — usually before a 911 callback would even occur.

Do you integrate with our PM software?

Yes — AppFolio, Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, ResMan, and Buildium integrations are configured during onboarding. Incident reports file directly into your existing workflow. Your regional manager doesn’t have to chase a separate PDF.

Free Assessment

Free site assessment. No obligation.

Sixty-minute on-site walkthrough. Written report within 72 hours. We’ll tell you which of our eight multifamily services would actually move the needle on your property — and which ones you don’t need.
