Why unarmed is safer for the property owner

Under California Civil Code liability doctrines, an armed contract security incident materially raises the owner's negligent-hiring exposure. Unarmed observe-and-report keeps liability capped.

What unarmed patrol still handles

Trespass documentation, PC 602 posting, Sacramento PD coordination, alarm response, DV standby, and PC 837 citizen's-arrest authority when appropriate.

Cost delta

Unarmed patrol runs about 40% less per hour than armed — with insurance premiums often 3x lower for the property owner.
