Frequently Asked Questions
Ranger Patrol is Gates Security's specialized service for protecting large, open properties including open space lands, ranches, farms, and nature preserves. With experience patrolling tens of thousands of acres, our Rangers deter and prevent trespassers from entering properties with limited or no access control, addressing issues before they become widespread and costly.
Our Rangers utilize a dynamic, multi-modal approach to patrol large properties effectively. This includes 4x4 vehicle patrols, ATV patrols, drone surveillance, and foot patrols. This combination allows us to access remote terrain, cover extensive acreage, and maintain high visibility to deter trespassing and other illegal activities.
Our Ranger Patrol services address a range of security threats common to open space properties, including trespassing, homeless encampments, illegal marijuana grows, vandalism, and fire hazards. We take a proactive approach to prevent these issues from developing, rather than responding after problems have already become established.
Fire is one of the worst threats to open space property. Our Rangers are trained on Wildland Fire Behavior and have responded to thousands of wildfires, structure fires, and trash fires. Through high visibility patrols, we effectively prevent both intentional and accidental fires by stopping trespassers from engaging with your property before incidents occur.
Yes, Gates Security has developed proven methods to successfully remove and prevent established encampments through our work with city, county, and law enforcement agencies. Our staff are recognized experts on dealing with transient populations in open space environments and have even taught classes to Park Ranger Associations on how to mitigate these issues.
You can begin by calling us at 805-499-6555 or 844-444-7741 to discuss your open space security needs. We will assess your property, identify potential vulnerabilities, and develop a customized patrol strategy to protect your land from trespassing, encampments, fire hazards, and other threats.
