Armored-car reload escort
Dedicated officer arrives 15 minutes before your armored car, sweeps the perimeter, stays on-scene during cash reload, confirms lock-up. Standard for Sacramento credit unions, cannabis dispensary ATMs and any stand-alone ATM with reloads over $10,000 per visit.
Cannabis-adjacent ATM specialty
Cannabis dispensary ATMs and cash-heavy locations are a Sacramento specialty. Officers are trained on operator confidentiality (no customer photos, no ID capture), METRC-aware, prepared for BSA-compliant suspicious activity reporting. Coverage integrates with your dispensary's overall security post.

Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
How often do you inspect the ATM?+
Standard ATM patrol runs 2 timestamped checks per night on a shared route ($15/night per stop). High-risk locations (recent skimmer activity, cannabis ATMs, drive-through only) get 3–4 checks per night on a dedicated route. Every check produces a photo of the card slot and PIN pad for skimmer detection.
Can you detect card skimmers?+
Yes. Officers are trained to spot overlay skimmers (glued panels over the card slot), keypad overlays, pinhole cameras, and Bluetooth-based data siphons. Every check produces a close-up photo of the card slot and PIN pad — the photo log lets your fraud team spot changes between checks and pull the ATM offline before losses hit.
Do you escort armored-car ATM reloads?+
Yes. Dedicated ATM servicing escort during your armored-car cash reload is one of our most-requested services in Sacramento — the moment of highest cash exposure. Officer arrives 15 minutes before the armored car, sweeps the perimeter, stays on-scene during the reload, and confirms lock-up before leaving.
What does ATM security cost in Sacramento?+
Scheduled drive-by patrol starts at $15/night per stop on a shared route (multiple ATMs on one overnight route). Dedicated single-ATM patrol runs $28–$38/hour. Armored-car servicing escort is quoted per visit — typical Sacramento reload is $95–$180 per escort depending on time-of-day and location. Stormhammer Security, Inc. publishes flat monthly pricing.
Do you cover cannabis-adjacent ATMs?+
Yes. Cannabis dispensary ATMs and cash-heavy check-cashing ATMs are a specialty — high cash volume, elevated theft risk, sometimes armored-car reloads every 48 hours. Officers are trained on cannabis operator confidentiality (no photos of customers, no ID capture), METRC-aware, and prepared for BSA-compliant reporting when suspicious activity is observed.
