Seemingly peaceful and quiet most of the time, there is criminal activity in our lovely neighborhood that can go unnoticed by many until crime strikes close to home - a neighbor, a friend, or your own family.
Most crimes tend to occur based on the opportunity to do so, such as wealth/goods, distracted potential victims, and a low risk of capture. We have all the risk factors for opportunistic crime.
This necessitates additional resources beyond the protection of the Oakland Police Department (OPD) in order to keep crime at bay.
Our licensed security contractor, IGI, provides:
- 1
Fast Response
Response to any suspicious incident, normally much faster than OPD can respond.
- 2
Private Patrol Deterrent
Visible patrol reduces residential burglary and prevents the geographic spread of commercial district robberies.
