Frequently Asked Questions
Security in Skid Row requires officers who are trained not just in traditional security protocols but in compassionate engagement, de-escalation, and crisis intervention. Our officers receive specialized training on interacting with individuals experiencing homelessness, mental health crises, and substance abuse issues. We prioritize verbal de-escalation and work to connect individuals with appropriate services rather than simply removing them from the property. Our officers understand the difference between someone who needs help and someone who poses a genuine threat, and they respond accordingly. We also coordinate closely with local social service organizations, outreach teams, and law enforcement to ensure that individuals in crisis are directed toward resources rather than cycling through the criminal justice system. Our goal is to protect our clients’ property while treating every person with dignity and respect.
Commercial and industrial properties in Skid Row face challenges including theft, vandalism, unauthorized access, and the need to protect inventory and equipment in an open and often unpredictable environment. Our guards conduct regular patrols of these properties, checking loading docks, gates, and storage areas for signs of tampering or unauthorized entry. We monitor for loitering and encampments near building entrances and alleyways, which can block access and create safety hazards. For wholesale operations and industrial businesses with valuable inventory, we offer both armed and unarmed security options depending on the risk profile. We also coordinate with neighboring businesses to address shared concerns such as illegal dumping, graffiti, and overnight activity in shared loading areas. Our officers document all incidents and provide detailed daily reports so business owners have a clear picture of what happens on their property after hours.
Nonprofit organizations, social service providers, and residential hotels in Skid Row often operate with limited budgets while serving vulnerable populations, which creates unique security needs. Our officers assigned to these facilities focus on access control, visitor management, and creating a safe environment for both staff and clients. We assist with managing lines and crowds during service hours, monitor for unauthorized individuals in restricted areas, and respond to conflicts or disturbances with a trauma-informed approach. For residential hotels, we provide overnight security, monitor entrances, and document any incidents that occur. We also offer security assessments to help these organizations identify cost-effective ways to improve safety without compromising their mission. Our officers are trained to understand the specific challenges of working in Skid Row and to support the important work these organizations do.
