Security Guards for Apartments, HOAs and Commercial Properties in Baltimore

Property managers carry a lot of responsibility: resident and tenant safety, property damage, liability, reputation and owner expectations. One recurring problem, whether it's trespassers in the garage, break-ins, loitering at the entrance or after-hours parties at the pool, can drive up complaints, vacancies and costs. On Site Police provides professional armed and unarmed security officers to apartment communities, condominiums, HOAs and commercial buildings across Baltimore and Maryland. Our company was founded by Maryland police officers, and we build every property security plan around your site, your residents and your budget.

Armed or unarmed?

Most residential communities are best served by courteous unarmed officers focused on deterrence, access control and customer service. Properties with a history of violent incidents or serious crime may benefit from armed officers at key hours. We'll talk through your property and recommend the right level.
