Construction Site Security
After-hours patrol when tools and materials cannot walk off the site
Active construction sites lose copper, lumber, equipment, and fuel to after-hours theft — especially in the Inland Empire logistics corridor and Orange County infill projects. Sunset Safety provides photo-verified patrol visits, standing posts, and short-notice coverage when your superintendent locks the gate and goes home.
The after-hours gap
Theft does not wait for your crew to return
Construction security is not about standing a guard at the trailer all day while your crew is already on site. It is about the gap — nights, weekends, holidays — when a fence and a padlock are the only things between your materials and a box truck.
We patrol active job sites across Orange County, Los Angeles County, and the Inland Empire with randomized visit schedules, photo documentation, and dispatch response when someone triggers an alarm or a neighbor calls.

Know the target list
What walks off job sites after dark
A fence and a padlock protect none of it. This is what overnight crews go after first on active sites — and what our patrol post orders are written around.
Randomized visit windows
Patrol passes never form a pattern a spotter can time — the schedule shifts night to night.
Laydown yards photographed
Material stacks, conex seals, and equipment staging documented with time-stamped photos on every pass.
Escalation that scales
Active theft trend on your site? We ramp visit frequency or add a standing post mid-project.
Relative ranking of what jobsite patrols are asked to protect — not a dollar estimate. Every construction quote starts with a site walk or plan review.
After-hours patrol
One night on your site
What actually happens between lock-up and the morning crew — every step logged, nothing left to guesswork.
Gate locks — patrol takes over
Your superintendent closes the site and goes home. Our overnight rotation begins, with visit windows randomized so a pattern never forms.
Perimeter, gate & lighting checks
Fence lines, gate hardware, laydown yards, and site lighting verified on every pass — trespassers contacted and moved along.
Time-stamped photo log
Each visit is documented with time-stamped photos and a digital activity log you can review in the client portal the same night.
Dispatch escalation
Alarm trip or a neighbor's call? 24/7 dispatch routes an officer to the site and coordinates with local police when required.
Morning handoff
Your super opens the gate to a documented night — anything found is flagged before the crew clocks in.
Two ways to cover a site
Overnight patrol vs standing post
Most construction accounts start with overnight patrol and add a standing post when theft is active or insurance requires continuous presence.
After-hours patrol
Standing post
Visit frequency scales to project size and risk — a single-family infill lot differs from a multi-acre warehouse shell. We quote after a site walk or plan review. Request a construction quote.
Regional reach
Built for the Inland Empire logistics corridor
The Inland Empire — Ontario, Fontana, Riverside, San Bernardino — has dense warehouse and logistics construction where material theft is an industry-wide problem. Orange County infill and ADU projects face neighborhood trespass and tool theft on tight urban lots.
Our patrol routes originate from Orange headquarters with documented drive times to IE job sites. Organic search and direct GC relationships bring us projects across both regions — call to confirm your site address and start date.
