Security and Enforcement Built for Mobile Home Parks
Patrol, parking enforcement, and resident permit programs designed for the operational realities of MHPs. CVC §22658 tow compliance, defensible documentation, and portfolio pricing for multi-park operators.
Why MHPs Need a Different Kind of Security Partner
Mobile home parks have a security profile that doesn't fit neatly into the HOA, apartment, or commercial buckets. The dynamics are specific:
- Tight-knit communities — residents know each other, which makes enforcement more delicate than at anonymous apartment complexes
- Abandoned vehicles — older infrastructure and higher resident turnover mean more vehicles that have been parked there for years
- Tow authorization complexity — California law has specific requirements for towing from MHPs, and getting it wrong creates legal exposure
- Visitor management — guests stay for extended periods, contractors come and go, and resident parking is often constrained
- Lower budget per unit — MHP operators generally can't justify the same per-property security spend as a luxury HOA
- Maintenance issues that need spotting — older infrastructure means lighting, gate, and common-area issues that benefit from regular patrol documentation
A patrol partner that hasn't worked with MHPs before will struggle with all of this.

How Sunset Works with MHP Operators
Sunset Safety Agency serves multiple mobile home parks across Orange County — including parks under the KMCMH portfolio. Here's what works:
1
Vehicle patrol
At frequencies tuned to MHP economics — usually 2 to 4 visits per evening. Marked vehicles, uniformed officers, focus on common areas, gate integrity, and lighting.
2
Parking enforcement with §22658 expertise
We operate under written tow authorization documents (matching the structure required by Cal. Vehicle Code §22658), maintain compliant signage at park entrances, and document every tow with photos and a justification record.
3
Resident permits
Park-issued permits for resident vehicles, guest passes for extended visitors, and contractor permits for service workers. All managed through the resident portal.
4
Abandoned vehicle protocols
We document vehicles that have been stationary for 72+ hours, work with management on notification timelines, and coordinate compliant removal when authorized.
5
Maintenance documentation
Officers note maintenance issues — broken lighting, damaged fencing, gate malfunctions — and submit them as part of the standard Daily Activity Report. Operators get a paper trail on park condition that doubles as a maintenance work-order pipeline.
6
Portfolio pricing
MHP operators running multiple parks qualify for our portfolio rate tier — lower per-visit patrol pricing and lower standby/officer rates than our standard sheet.

How Pricing Works for MHPs
Most MHP contracts are structured similarly to HOA contracts — per-visit patrol with free parking enforcement bundled in. Differences:
Tow authorization setup is more involved at MHPs and is part of the onboarding (one-time)
Park-specific signage is required by §22658 and we help coordinate placement during setup
Portfolio rate tier applies if you operate multiple parks
