Astro Protective Services

Fire Watch Security

Dedicated safety patrols and logs when alarms, sprinklers, or fire systems are impaired.

Why this service matters

When a sprinkler system, fire alarm, or standpipe is out of service, the fire marshal generally requires continuous fire watch until it is restored. Missing that requirement can shut a building down. APS deploys fire watch coverage quickly, walks the required rounds, and keeps the written log inspectors ask to see.

What sets APS apart

Off-duty police officers available

For higher-risk posts, court-ordered coverage, executive protection, and sensitive events, APS can staff qualified off-duty and retired law enforcement officers alongside licensed guards.

Employee-owned company

APS is employee-owned. The officers standing at your property share in the company's success, which shows up as lower turnover, steadier post coverage, and officers who learn your site instead of rotating away.

Union-friendly workforce

APS works comfortably on union and prevailing-wage properties, respects collective bargaining requirements, and keeps wage, break, and overtime practices documented for your records.

Metris patrol fleet

Marked Mercedes-Benz Metris patrol vans and patrol SUVs give your property visible, clearly identifiable coverage with room for equipment, signage, and multi-post response.

APS also operates Tesla patrol units with recorded rounds, front desk logging, and daily client reports. See Tesla patrol
