Communications

Our vehicles are also equipped with radios and police scanners enabling us monitor police response at or near our client’s properties.
Gated Residential Communities
We offer programs that are specifically tailored to gated residential communities. As a gated community the first contact your residents and guests have is with the gate guard. Not only is this first contact important, it is imperative that your residents and their guests are treated professionally and feel safe in your community. Our gate officers are well trained in customer service and will adhere to entry requirements set by our clients.
Platt offers a fully automated parking management solution that is perfect for gated communities and can be customized for any property. See the Platt Parking Management section for a complete summary.

Public Housing Developments
Platt Security’s Community Policing work plan was developed in conjunction with the HUD (Housing Urban Development) and was used as a nationwide model. The plan consists of four major parts.
- Prevention: Highly visible patrol in an attempt to prevent undesirable activity
- Identification: Obtain information on persons and/or locations involved in this type of activity
- Documentation: Information by personnel surveillance, video, and camera documentation
- Elimination: Developing either a criminal or civil case to eliminate subject(s) from the property
This program is designed to prevent crime before it happens, we will patrol the property within the Housing Development. Undesirable activity can be as simple as an unauthorized resident to gang activity and narcotics trafficking or violent crimes. Our Officers will focus their patrol on areas that are prone to these types of activity.

Business Improvement Districts
Platt Security has designed and implemented programs for Business Improvement Districts since 1995. Keep in mind that the laws differ dramatically between private and public property and presence a totally different challenge. Platt Security subscribes to the Law Enforcement Legal Reporter, this publication comes monthly and documents case law and court decisions which set the laws; both state and federal. This publication helps keep us as current as any law enforcement agency. Over half of our accounts involve public right of ways.
Parking Enforcement
A parking program cannot be effective without an enforcement component. Platt Security has designed and implemented parking enforcement programs throughout Southern California. Keep in mind that the laws differ dramatically between private property and public property and present a totally different challenge. Private property parking rules may be set by the property owner and very few vehicle codes and/or city ordinances apply. On the other hand on public streets and public property the vehicle code and city ordinance are basically all that apply.
Alarm Response Service (Select Areas Only)
With the increase in calls for service police agencies are experiencing, there is a definite need for our alarm response service. Platt Security’s armed officers will respond to your alarm or panic activation. You will have peace of mind knowing that Platt Security officers will respond within minutes. This may also save costly false alarm fees imposed by your local police department. If our officers find your home has been violated, our dispatcher will notify the emergency contact you designate, as well as the local Police.
