Residential and HOA Security
Residential security works differently from commercial security. Officers interact with residents daily, enforce community rules that a board has adopted, and are expected to be approachable while still holding the line on access.
Globe Protective Services supports HOAs, apartment communities and private residences with gate coverage, patrols and enforcement that follow the community's own governing rules.

What to expect
Officers enforce the access, guest and amenity rules your board or management adopts — we do not invent policy for your community.
Gate and patrol officers are the face of the property for residents and guests, and are expected to be courteous while still verifying access.
Incidents, violations and unusual activity are logged so the board has a record instead of secondhand accounts.
Many communities focus coverage on evenings, overnight and weekends rather than staffing the gate continuously.
Frequently asked questions
Can officers enforce our CC&Rs?
Officers observe, document and report violations of the rules your association provides. Enforcement actions such as fines remain with the board or management company.
Do you provide gate attendants?
Yes, staffed gate coverage with visitor verification is a common assignment. Contact us to confirm availability for your community's hours.
Can we add parking enforcement?
Parking enforcement is frequently paired with residential coverage so permit checks and community patrol happen together.
How do residents reach the officer?
Contact procedures are agreed with management up front and included in the post orders so residents get one consistent answer.
