Why Residential Security Matters

Residential properties face significant security challenges. In the United States, a burglary occurs every 13 seconds, totaling over 2 million home burglaries annually. Vehicle theft from residential properties happens at a rate of 2,500 incidents daily—one every 35 seconds.

Professional security services demonstrably reduce these risks. Residential communities with a visible security presence experience significantly lower crime rates and higher resident satisfaction.

Our Residential Security Services

Mobile Security Patrols. Our vehicle-based security patrols cover large residential communities, gated subdivisions, and sprawling apartment complexes. Officers conduct regular perimeter checks, monitor entry and exit points, and respond promptly to resident concerns.
Foot Patrol Security. Walking patrols are ideal for high-density residential areas including apartment buildings, condominium complexes, and retirement communities. Officers provide visible deterrence and immediate response to security incidents.
Gate Access Control. Our staffed security at community entrances verifies resident and visitor access, manages guest lists, and controls vehicle entry to maintain community safety.
Parking Area Security. Dedicated patrols of parking structures and surface lots prevent vehicle theft, vandalism, and unauthorized parking.
Package & Delivery Management. Security officers monitor delivery areas, accept packages on behalf of residents, and take active steps to prevent package theft.
Concierge Service. We provide customizable concierge services tailored to the individual needs of residents and visitors, ensuring a welcoming and secure environment.

We needed guards for our annual Coats for the Cold event to protect the line tent and building, keep order in the wee hours of the morning and to start the heater at 5am. The first guard arrived early so he could look at the whole area and talk to me about my concerns. He was professional, courteous and very reassuring. The second guard arrived in the middle of the night and took over. When I arrived in the morning to get the event started, he was also professional, courteous and reassuring. We were very pleased with your service and I will recommend that we call on your company next year for this event. Thank you, Dennis and Henry, for a good night’s sleep. I didn’t worry once after leaving our property in your hands.

Dear Demis:
I am writing in appreciation and to share with you my recent experience with National Security Service LLC.

First of all, I contacted your company on very short notice, finding you easily on the internet. You were easy to talk to. You understood my needs and helped me order appropriate to my situation. Getting an order and contract was swift and easily handled. I was even pleasantly surprised that the cost was within my budget.

The local manager contacted me as I was traveling to be sure I knew I would have my security guard when I arrived and to verify
directions. I appreciated that follow through. Sure enough, my uniformed security guard not only arrived a few minutes early, but
then called to let me know he had arrived.

Ed,
I want to thank you for your excellent service. I am responsible for eighty properties, and not only have I never had any problems working with National Security Service LLC, several times your guards were challenged by unexpected problems and resolved them on their own. It is a pleasure working with your team.

We use National Security Service LLC for a school trip every spring, to help keep overnight shenanigans from the students down.

Paul (our guard in Houston this year) was very easy to work with, and would gladly use him again the next time we are in the area. He was always prompt, polite, and had a smile on his face.

Shamicqua (our service rep) has always been a joy to talk to, and gets quotes and information back to us very quickly.

Our overall experience with National Security Service LLC has always been top notch, and this year was no exception

Dear Steven,
I wanted to thank you and your team for an excellent season of service. Your guards were not only on time every night but usually
early. This gave peace of mind to our guides as well teachers and parent chaperones. The safety and security of our students is our top priority. As I write this letter, I am reminded of the night that your guard in Philadelphia saved the day when one of our students left his room while sleepwalking. That evening we all were grateful to your guard’s fast thinking and calm demeanor.

I will be in touch shortly with our 2011 season dates and cities. Thank you again for the last minute changes last month. I appreciate all that you and your team do for us.

Sincerely,
