Security & Safety Benefits

The Association provides the following Security & Safety Benefits:

APS security cars patrol the neighborhood for added safety. Hours of the patrol are contingent upon dues collected.
Association members are entitled to a 7-day annual vacation watch service. During this time, APS will assist by pulling in trash cans from the curb and collecting flyers, doorknob ads and packages left on the porch. If there are no fences or gates blocking access, APS will also check the property through the side yard.
If a dues-paying homeowner is present at their home, they can call APS if they notice any suspicious activity.
Association members can request up to two escorts per month for additional safety, such as when returning home late and feeling concerned.

Association members can receive additional Security and Safety benefits provided by APS. For assistance call the APS Dispatch Center at 310-606-2727.
