What you're up against

Top hotels & motels pain points

Overnight lobby exposure

Front-desk staff working alone after 10pm face aggressive walk-ins, intoxicated guests and trespassers. A uniformed officer at the desk ends it.

Parking lot break-ins & car prowls

Guest vehicles are repeat targets on the I-80 corridor. Marked patrol presence resets the lot in 1–2 weeks.

Room squatters & trespass eviction

Unwanted guests refusing to leave a paid room. Officers provide documented standby for the manager's eviction call to SPD.
