Theft and Burglary Risks
Properties without adequate security measures face significant risks of theft and burglary. Unauthorized access can lead to property damage and loss of valuable assets, impacting operational continuity.

Accountability
Proof of work, in your inbox by 9 AM.
After any incident, ownership asks two things: what happened, and where's the proof? Every patrol is GPS-logged, every incident photographed, and every report supervisor-signed before it reaches your inbox by 9 AM.
GPS-logged patrol routes, timestamped incident photos, and supervisor-reviewed reports in your inbox by 9 AM.
GPS-Verified Patrols
Every checkpoint geo-stamped. So when ownership asks what happened at 2 AM, you have a verifiable answer — not a verbal account.
Supervisor Spot-Checks
One field supervisor per 8 officers. Unannounced checks verify post quality before reports go out — so you're not the one discovering a problem.
Daily Digital Reports
Incidents, observations, and patrol logs delivered by 9 AM — formatted to forward to ownership, counsel, or insurers without editing.

Buyer questions
What buyers ask before hiring AMB.
How quickly can you deploy officers in San Francisco?
Most standard requests are staffed in 24–72 hours. Urgent and fire watch requests are typically staffed next day — call our 24/7 dispatch directly to confirm same-day availability.
Do I need on-site, mobile patrol, or hybrid?
On-site fits high-traffic, customer-facing posts (lobbies, hotels, gates). Mobile patrol fits after-hours, vacant property, and multi-site portfolios. Hybrid layers both for the best cost-to-coverage ratio. Use our Recommend My Model tool above for a personalized answer.
Do you serve my property type?
Yes — we staff apartments, condos, HOAs, offices, hotels, construction, parking, retail, mixed-use, industrial, and event properties. Tell us your property type and we'll match the right officer profile.
Do you cover my San Francisco neighborhood?
AMB actively patrols 14+ SF neighborhoods including SoMa, Mission, Mission Bay, FiDi, Marina, Pacific Heights, Nob Hill, Hayes Valley, Castro, Sunset, Dogpatch, Bayview, and the Embarcadero. Don't see your block? Ask — we likely already operate near you.
How are your officers supervised?
1 supervisor for every 8 officers, with random in-person spot-checks, GPS-verified patrols, and supervisor sign-off on every daily report before it reaches you.
