Prevent Scrap Metal Theft with Virtual Guard Services in Los Angeles & the San Fernando Valley

Get an Effective, Affordable & Personalized Solution to the Growing Threat of Scrap Metal Theft

According to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI) and the Department of Energy, copper theft and metal larceny cost U.S. businesses nearly $1 billion in losses per year. While scrap metal theft is driven by a number of factors, one of the biggest driving factors is the international market’s high demand for commodity metals, such as copper, brass, aluminum, nickel, stainless steel, platinum, bronze, and various metal alloys, and the thriving resale market in California.

Susceptible scrap metal targets include but are not limited to:

Unfortunately, any unsecured, unguarded, or vulnerable scrap metal can be targeted for scrap metal theft.

In an attempt to prevent, deter, and detect metal theft, California requires scrap metal companies–scrap metal buyers, recyclers, and dealers–to record a seller’s photo, fingerprint, and ID, photograph the metal materials being sold, and hold onto payments for three days after each sales transaction. Metal recyclers and dealers that violate these anti-metal theft laws can be hit with hefty civil penalties and costs.

To develop a comprehensive security plan that is personalized to your specific needs and budget, we will have a member of our management team conduct a thorough on-site security assessment. Every security strategy is designed to address each client’s unique set of threats and vulnerabilities for maximum effectiveness. Once our plan is approved, we will install advanced CCTV security cameras and motion detectors in strategic locations throughout your site, such as at entrances/exits, in blindspots and dark corners, near expensive machinery and inventory, in remote parts of your building or property’s perimeter, and any other vulnerable space. A tripped motion sensor will immediately alert our remote guards, who will respond to all suspicious activity in real time. Using two-way loudspeakers, our guards can communicate with intruders and personnel, letting them know they are being watched and recorded. When necessary, our guards can contact local law enforcement and readily share footage of the suspect(s) and incident. Real time response, 24/7 monitoring of your site, and high-quality surveillance footage not only prompts faster dispatch times, but also increases the likelihood of capturing criminals and holding them accountable in a court of law.
