The challenge
Repeat overnight and Sunday theft of copper wire, catalytic converters from subcontractor trucks, and small tools. Prior vendor was cameras-and-alarms only.
Ranger's approach
- Overnight Class D officer + marked patrol vehicle 6pm–6am
- Weekend 24-hour stationed coverage
- Two mobile light towers positioned per Ranger site survey
- Contractor sign-in enforcement at perimeter
- Coordinated response line with Fort Lauderdale PD ORC unit
"The overnight officer catches things our cameras never did. Losses stopped the week Ranger showed up."
