The Challenge
Customer Spaces Lost to Abandoned Vehicles
A retail plaza near the stadium corridor had abandoned vehicles and unauthorized overnight parking taking up customer spaces, plus after-hours loitering around storefronts. The center needed enforcement that would open spaces back up without creating liability for its tenants.
Our Approach
Enforcement Documented at Every Step
We built a nightly enforcement routine that keeps spaces open and keeps management in control of every tow decision.
What We Do
- Nightly patrol with parking enforcement
- Tag-and-tow coordination with management approval at each step
- Trespass contacts documented with photos and timestamps
Management Stays in Control
- No vehicle towed until management signs off
- Every action photographed for the record
- Timestamps on each trespass contact
- Enforcement that never surprises a tenant

The Numbers
24 Documented Incidents in One Month
In April 2026, patrol reports documented 24 incidents in one month at this plaza, including unauthorized vehicle actions coordinated to tow only after management sign-off, so enforcement never surprises a tenant.
Why It Matters for Retail
Customers Judge a Center by Its Parking Lot
Customers judge a center by its parking lot. Enforcement that is consistent, documented, and management-approved keeps spaces open without creating liability. When a center wants that kind of control, our retail security services and mobile patrol keep the lot usable and the record clean.
