Deterrence checklist
- Reinforce rear and side entry doors — most commercial burglaries enter from the back
- Garage code only — never leave a garage opener inside a parked vehicle
- Alarm + cellular backup (cut-line tolerant), not just landline
- Marked overnight patrol with on-foot perimeter sweeps and yard-cage checks
Where this concentrates
FAQs
- Where in Sacramento are burglaries most common?
- Topline burglary concentrations sit in North Highlands, South Sacramento and parts of Arden-Arcade; residential burglary skews to weekday daytime, commercial to overnight.
- How can a business prevent overnight burglary?
- Layer a marked-SUV patrol, cellular alarm with cut-line tolerance, rear-door reinforcement and exterior lighting. Patrol on a randomized schedule, not predictable hourly drive-bys.
- Does Stormhammer respond to burglar alarms?
- We do alarm response in the route on contract; on-call alarm response outside the route is dispatched subject to availability.
- Do you coordinate with SPD / SCSO?
- Yes — every burglary call we attend produces a documented hand-off note to the responding agency; case numbers are logged in the sunrise report.
