AGS Protect Culver City OfficeFrequently Asked Questions
What areas of Santa Monica do you cover and how do you handle coastal congestion?▼
We cover Downtown/Pier, Promenade & Santa Monica Place, Ocean Ave/Main St, Mid-City/Bergamot, Pico, and Ocean Park, with spillover to Brentwood/West LA and PCH corridors. Patrol loops are pre-planned around I-10 on/off ramps, beach-event traffic, and parking structures, so operator triage is instantaneous and mobile dispatch is routed to the nearest available unit with coastal traffic heuristics baked in. SLAs and response windows are defined in the SOW by micro-district.
How does the hybrid model work for beach, promenade, and parking-structure risks?▼
We pair AI-assisted video (perimeter, stairwells, elevators, garage entries) with talk-down speakers and timed mobile sweeps. For open-air retail and hospitality, we focus on loitering, door-propped alerts, after-hours dock access, and vehicle break-ins. The result: fewer false calls to SMPD, faster on-site interventions, and better evidence packages for repeat-offender patterns.
Can you reuse our existing cameras and access control?▼
Yes. We’re vendor-neutral and routinely ingest Axis/Hanwha/PTZs, Rhombus/Verkada/UniFi, and LPR feeds, plus cloud access like Openpath/Brivo. Events (analytics, badges, intercoms, blue-phones) land in one case queue for operators. That means no rip-and-replace, consistent incident reporting, and optional talk-down retrofits where coverage matters most (garage entries, loading areas, roof access).
What about compliance and community sensitivity in Santa Monica?▼
We implement privacy masking for public right-of-way, adhere to local noise rules for talk-down hours, and maintain a defensible chain-of-custody for evidence (time-sync, retention policies, access logs). For workplaces, we align monitoring + guard procedures to SB-553 WVPP elements (recognize/report/respond, non-retaliation, de-escalation). For BIDs/HOAs, we coordinate with ambassador programs and property managers to keep protocols consistent and documented.
Who sees the fastest ROI in Santa Monica—and how do you prove it?▼
- Top profiles:
- Open-air retail & Promenade operators: shrink and trespass minutes drop with analytics + scheduled sweeps.
- Hotels along Ocean Ave: after-hours dock and guest-area control without 24/7 fixed posts.
- Class-A offices (Water Garden/Bergamot): badge anomalies, garage incidents, and visitor flows centralized for property teams.
We report “outcomes you can audit”: reduced after-hours entries, response time medians, talk-down effectiveness, and incident-to-resolution timelines—mapped to our Silver/Gold/Platinum tiers for budget clarity.
