Beyond apartments
Results across every program.
“Prior to the program we had lots of break-ins at self-storage facilities. Since it started, we have not had a single break-in! My chief is amazed.”
“Our worst property went from 940 calls and 126 arrests in 2001 to 604 calls and 26 arrests in 2003.”
“We used to respond to our local hotel 5 to 10 times a week. Now it may be once or twice a month.”
