Excelsior Risk Profile
What Operators Face in the Excelsior
Small storefronts, repeated burglaries
Excelsior reported 957 criminal incidents in the 12 months to September 2026: 107 vandalism, 91 simple assaults, 87 vehicle thefts, 80 fraud and 78 shoplifting. Burglary across all types accounts for 44. For the family-run markets and taquerias on Mission between Silver and Geneva, the gate pries and glass breaks are real but less frequent than the damage and vehicle losses around them.

Busy crossings, unattended registers
The Persia and Geneva intersections concentrate foot traffic and transit riders. Daytime shoplifting and distraction theft hit counters staffed by one or two family members handling everything at once.
Residential blocks near the park edge
Streets rising toward McLaren Park and the Crocker-Amazon side see vehicle break-ins, garage-door probing, and package theft on long residential blocks with few overnight eyes.

Common Questions
Excelsior Security FAQ
Is patrol affordable for a small family business on Mission Street?
That’s exactly who Excelsior corridor patrol is built for. Storefronts along the route split the cost of shared overnight passes, so each business pays a modest monthly amount rather than guard wages. We quote per storefront after a walkthrough, and contract length is settled with that quote.
Our shop’s alarm keeps triggering at night — can you respond instead of us?
Yes. List AMB as your alarm responder and our on-duty unit rolls on every activation — average response 15–30 minutes. Our dispatch app logs that figure from the moment a request comes in to the moment an officer is recorded on site. The officer inspects the storefront, gates, and rear door, photographs everything, and calls you only when something actually needs your decision. False alarms stop costing you sleep.
Do your officers speak Spanish or Cantonese for our Excelsior customers and staff?
We staff bilingual officers where available and flag language preferences in your post orders when we scope the assignment. The Excelsior’s merchant mix is something we plan for directly — clear communication with your staff, customers, and neighboring shops is part of the post, not an afterthought.
What deters the overnight break-ins our block has been getting?
Unpredictability and documentation. Passes run on randomized timing so crews can’t learn a schedule, officers physically check gates and rear doors rather than driving by, and every pass is GPS-logged with photos. Burglary crews favor easy, unwatched blocks — consistent patrol removes both conditions.
Can homeowners near McLaren Park join the same patrol as the Mission Street merchants?
Routes can combine both. Many Excelsior routes link corridor storefronts with nearby residential blocks whose households want garage and vehicle checks. One route, one report structure, costs shared across everyone participating — and the patrol vehicle’s presence benefits the blocks in between.
