Peace of Mind Where People Live
Package theft, trespassers in the lobby, break-ins in the garage and strangers in common areas make residents feel unsafe in their own homes. A professional security officer on site, or on regular patrol, puts a stop to it and gives residents someone to turn to. Our residential security in Chicago puts a trained, friendly officer where residents need one most.
Residential coverage is one of our core security services in Chicago. We work with property managers, HOA boards and homeowners to build a plan that fits the building, the budget and the community, from a friendly lobby officer to overnight patrols.
Most residential properties are well served by unarmed security officers or mobile patrol. For high-profile homeowners or higher-risk properties, we can discuss armed security.

Residential Security: Common Questions
How much does residential security cost in Chicago?
It depends on whether you need an on-site officer or mobile patrol, how many hours, the size of the property and the length of the contract. Mobile patrol is often the most affordable option for HOAs and smaller buildings. Contact us for a free quote.

Our officers follow Illinois law and your property rules. They ask unauthorized people to leave, document what happened and contact police when needed.
