Multifamily & HOA security

Community security residents actually notice — in a good way

For property managers and HOA boards, visible, professional coverage is a retention amenity and a liability answer in one. Tectus coordinates licensed companies that patrol communities every night.

The problem

The complaints that fill a board meeting

Package theft. Pool-hopping after hours. Cars broken into in the garage. Noise that management hears about the next morning. None of it is catastrophic alone — together it drives turnover, reviews, and the question every board eventually asks: what are we doing about security?

A courtesy patrol answers it. Documented rounds through the property at night, amenity checks at closing time, and a professional presence residents can flag down beat a camera bank nobody watches.

Coverage patterns

What communities typically book

Programs are sized to the property — a garden-style community and a 300-unit tower need different coverage:

  • Nightly courtesy patrols with documented rounds and reports for the board
  • Static evening posts at lobbies, garages, or gates
  • Amenity enforcement — pools, gyms, and clubhouses at closing
  • Event coverage for community functions
  • Short-term presence after an incident or during a crime uptick

FAQ

Community security questions

A patrol visits the property on scheduled or randomized rounds and costs less; a static officer stays on-site for the full shift. Many communities start with patrols and add a static post if incidents warrant it.

Yes. Weekend-night-only and seasonal programs are common. There’s no minimum commitment beyond the shifts you book.

Within their licensed scope, yes — presence at amenity closing times, documenting violations, and asking non-residents to leave, all per the post orders your management sets.

Nightly patrols price very differently from 24/7 static coverage. Use the estimator with your property’s location and hours to get a real number for the budget conversation.
