Citrus Heights Neighborhood Mobile Patrol: A Block-by-Block Playbook
Field notes from the Stormhammer dispatch desk — originally published July 2023, refreshed for current pricing.
Why Citrus Heights HOAs Are Switching to Mobile Patrol
Citrus Heights sits at the collision point of Antelope, Orangevale, Fair Oaks, and Roseville — a geography that generates a lot of drive-through property crime. Package theft, catalytic converter cuts, mail fishing, and encampment intrusion have all climbed year-over-year, and the Sacramento County Sheriff simply cannot post a deputy on every residential loop.
The Three-Pass Standard for Residential Streets
For HOAs and self-organized block associations, we run a three-pass overnight standard. Pass one, around 9–10 p.m., is a visibility pass with the light bar on. Pass two, between midnight and 2 a.m., is a foot patrol of common areas: mailrooms, pools, tot lots, and greenbelts. Pass three, at 4–5 a.m., focuses on driveways and side gates.
Coordination With Citrus Heights Police
Our officers carry a direct dispatch line to Citrus Heights PD non-emergency and a documented handoff protocol.
What Residents See — and What Bad Actors See
Residents see a friendly, uniformed officer. Bad actors see a marked vehicle on an unpredictable rotation, a spotlight on a side gate at 3 a.m., and a written trespass warning taped to their windshield.
