Gates Security has experience patrolling tens of thousands of acres of open space, ranches, farms, and nature preserves. Our mission is to prevent any issues arising from homeless encampments to illegal marijuana grows. We have measured success in deterring and preventing trespassers from entering property with limited or no access control. This is conducted through 4×4, ATV, drone, and foot patrols. Our dynamic approach to trespassing issues enables us to prevent a problem before it becomes widespread and costly.

One of the worst threats that trespass issues pose on open space property is the threat of fire. Our Rangers are trained on Wildland Fire Behavior and have responded to thousands of wildfires, structure fires, and trash fires. Through our high visibility patrols we are effectively preventing fires – both intentional and accidental – by stopping trespassers from engaging with your property.

The recent increase in vagrancy has affected landowners negatively. The cost to remove and clean homeless encampments are high, and the time spent to remove an already established encampment can be even higher. Gates Security has a method to successfully remove and prevent established encampments that we have developed from working with city, county, and law enforcement agencies. Our staff are experts on dealing with transient populations in an open space environment, and have even taught classes to Park Ranger Associations on how to mitigate such an issue.
