How a marked patrol officer changes the equation in your ZIP
A marked Ford Explorer patrol vehicle with an amber light bar parked in front of a building in Davis 95616 does roughly 80% of the work of a fixed guard at 15% of the cost. That's the entire economic argument for mobile patrol in Yolo County: visible presence is the deterrent; physical 24/7 occupancy is overkill for the vast majority of properties. Our officers wear dark navy uniforms with a PATROL plate-carrier vest and a body-worn camera. Every stop in 95616 produces a timestamped GPS ping, a photo of the building from the same angle every night (so anomalies show up by comparison), and a written note about what was checked — doors, gates, dumpsters, parking lot, pool, mailroom. If an officer encounters something — a suspicious individual, a trespasser, an unsecured door — the protocol is the same across every property in Davis: document, contact the property contact, escalate to PD if appropriate, and stay on-scene until the situation resolves. Because we are 100% BSIS-licensed (PPO #121830) and 100% non-lethal, our officers act with the legal authority of a security professional in California — which in Yolo County means we can issue trespass warnings, coordinate tows on private property, and produce admissible documentation if a case ever ends up in front of a judge.
