Deterrence checklist
- Rotate cash-deposit timing and route — never bank-deposit alone after 11pm

- Drop safes with timed-release, not just under-counter cash drawers
- Patrol presence at close-out window for high-target convenience and ATM sites

FAQs
- How often does armed robbery happen in Sacramento?
- Armed robbery is a low-frequency, high-impact category; the topline pattern is convenience-store and gas-station close-out windows in commercial corridors.
- Should a small business have armed or unarmed close-out support?
- For most close-out scenarios, an unarmed, uniformed, marked-vehicle presence is a stronger deterrent than concealed armed posture. We provide both subject to scope.
- Do you provide cash-handling escort?
- Yes — cash-handling escort and bank-deposit walk-out is available as a scheduled service for retail and restaurant operators in the route.
- Can patrol officers detain a robbery suspect?
- Private patrol observes and reports; detention is a law-enforcement function. Officers stage to safely document and direct PD response.
