With residents, visitors, and delivery drivers moving through your building all day long, residential security in Washington DC works differently than other places in the DMV.
Navy Yard sees a constant flow of young professionals and their guests. NoMa deals with the unique mix of new construction and established communities. Columbia Heights and Petworth have their own rhythms, with families, students, and long-time residents all sharing the same spaces.
Each building has its own needs. Some need apartment security guards during evening hours when people are coming home from work. Others want someone at the front desk during the day to manage package deliveries and maintenance crews. Overnight shifts look different in a high-rise downtown than they do in a garden-style complex near Rock Creek Park.
We provide the residential security presence your residents expect without making anyone feel like they are walking through a checkpoint every time they come home.
