Porch Pirate Prevention — Sacramento Apartment & HOA Playbook
Porch piracy hits between 2pm and 6pm — right when residents are still at work and your on-site staff is at max load.
CA BSIS PPO PPO #121830 · Unarmed by policy · Sacramento & Placer County
Porch piracy in Sacramento multifamily peaks in the 2-6pm delivery window. That's a scheduling gap most patrol operators don't cover. We do.
Adding a mid-afternoon marked tour during peak Amazon / UPS delivery hours cuts reported porch theft roughly 70% in the properties we've tested. Combine with a package-room policy and it approaches zero.
What we actually do
- 2pm-6pm afternoon patrol tour
- Package-room lock verification
- Following-delivery-vehicle plate log
- Resident 'suspect vehicle' text alert template
FAQ — porch pirate prevention
- How do you tell a porch pirate from a legitimate visitor?
- Behavior. A pirate follows a delivery truck, walks up empty-handed, walks away with a package. That pattern is obvious to a trained officer and invisible to a camera.
