Vacation watch

Rest easy and relax in the knowledge that while you are away on vacation, at work or even while sleeping, Innovative Protection is patrolling your home or business to ensure your family and property are safe and secure.

Although our House Watch service is our most popular, we offer a variety of unique Residential and Commercial Security Patrol Packages that are designed to meet your specific needs and concerns. You may create your own Innovative Protection Services package utilizing any or all of the below services:

House Watch/Vacation Watch: Our flagship residential service. Whether you are leaving on an extended vacation, snowbirding or just taking off for a few days, Innovative Protection will randomly conduct vehicle patrols throughout the day and night whenever you are away from home (and even if you are home if you wish). We will perform at least three physical walk-arounds of your home checking every door and window every 24 hours per your instructions. Our marked patrol vehicles will conduct patrols of your property randomly throughout the night and day. Our highly trained patrol officers will inspect vulnerable areas within your property such as building & fence perimeters, doors, windows, and common areas. They will identify any suspicious activity and make contact with any individuals who do not belong on the property. This service includes picking up your mail, packages, and newspapers, placing them in a location of your choice or holding them at our office to be delivered to you upon your return. We can even monitor interior temperatures and feed your fish!

Alarm Watch: Business or residential, it’s a fact that in the United States, 90%+of alarms are false. Tired of burdening friends and family members who repeatedly have to respond to your home to check things out when the alarm sounds? Ever consider the risk that you are imposing on the inexperienced and untrained employee or yourself in the event of an actual intrusion? Tired of getting fines from your local Law Enforcement Agency for “false alarms” or being placed on a “Do not Respond” list? In this day and age, some Law Enforcement Agencies no longer respond to burglar alarms and others may charge per response. With Innovaitve Protection, you’ll get unlimited alarm response and never incur charges for false or excessive alarms.

Security Watch: Primarily designed for Homeowners’ Associations (HOAs), mobile home parks, large apartment complexes, and the like, Innovative Protection conducts random vehicle patrols, throughout the day and night, in clearly marked security vehicles. We provide a visual and physical deterrent to criminal activity in these types of areas.

Senior Watch: Innovative Protection offers a unique and ground breaking Senior Security Service in the Greater Los Angeles area. Do you have a loved one who is ill or infirm and lives alone? Do you find it difficult to find the time and opportunity to drop in on them or phone to see how they are doing? Innovative Protection can do both. For a minimal charge, we can make twice daily phone contact with them, once in the morning and once in the evening, to make certain that they are all right. Better yet, our Security Officers will swing by during our mid morning and mid evening random patrols to check on them physically. You set the schedule and degree of contact that gives you peace of mind knowing your loved one is being looked in on.

Safety Watch: Ever wake up in the middle of the night thinking you have just heard a strange or suspicious noise and were too afraid to get up and check it out? Are you arriving home late at night and even worse – alone? Do you need to make a last minute run to the cash machine in the middle of the night and feel uneasy? Innovative Protection offers our Safety Watch package which includes (with approximately 30 minutes advance notice) meeting you at your home, cash machine or similar location. We also perform Civil Standbys; our Security Officers will always see you safely through your situation and make sure you get safely back inside your home. At your request, our Security Officers will even search your home or business to make certain you are safe and sound. Obviously, if you hear a strange or suspicious sound at night, we will initiate an immediate response.

Church Watch: According to the national Church Security Network, crimes against Churches are on the rise! The network’s Executive Director, Jeffrey Hawkins, notes also that not all criminal activities are reported to a governmental agency and thus estimates the total number of crimes to befive to six times greater than that actually reported in 2009. A number of reasons Churches may not report such incidents is because of their stance on forgiveness or fear of public embarrassment, Hawkins says.

Accounting for 64% of the crimes BURGLARY was the most frequently reported incident by Churches. 13% of the crimes were ARSON, and 7% were GENERAL THEFT. Such crimes, in addition to VANDALISM, have added up to more than $6.3 million in Church property loss in just a 6 month period in 2009. As you are no doubt aware, Churches of all denominations have been hit by vandalism and even hate crimes in Billings in recent years.

Designed to support the Billings tradition of “Not in Our Town” attitude, Innovative Protection randomly conducts vehicle patrols of Houses of Worship at a significantly reduced rate. Our Security Officers, in marked patrol vehicles, will perform physical walk-arounds of your Church checking every door and window, either two or three times, every 24 hours. (Two times for Churches that are occupied in the day, three for those that are not). Our highly trained patrol officers will inspect vulnerable areas within your property such as building & fence perimeters, doors, windows, and common areas. They will identify any suspicious activity and make contact with any individuals who do not belong on the property.

Clinic Watch: Medical and dental clinics are increasingly becoming the targets of choice for drug users, burglars, and even vandals. Although usually protected by an alarm system, these facilities often fall victim to the “Smash and Grab”  whereby criminals break in regardless of the alarms and snatch up what they can and run for it.

Our Security Officers, in marked patrol vehicles, will perform physical walk-arounds of your clinic checking every door and window, either two or three times, every 24 hours. (two times for clinics when they are occupied during the day, three for when they are not). Our highly trained patrol officers will inspect vulnerable areas within your property such as building & fence perimeters, doors, windows, and common areas. They will identify any suspicious activity and make contact with any individuals who do not belong on the property. In addition, Clinic Watch automatically include Alarm Watch described above.

School Watch: The first step in dealing with school crime and violence is acknowledging that it exists and reporting crimes when they occur. School leaders and elected officials often fail to recognize that parents expect schools to acknowledge and deal with problems head-on, while schools often fail to do so out of fear that parents will look negatively upon them for doing so.

Our Security Officers, in marked patrol vehicles, will perform physical walk-arounds of your school checking every door and window, either two or three times, every 24 hours. (two times for schools when they are occupied during the day, three for when they are not). Our highly trained patrol officers will inspect vulnerable areas within your property such as building & fence perimeters, doors, windows, and common areas. They will identify any suspicious activity and make contact with any individuals who do not belong on the property.
