Sunbeam Properties Reduces Trespassing While Strengthening Its Relationship with Local Police 

Sunbeam Property Management Group, a commercial property organization in Miramar, Florida, owns and manages around 600 acres of developed land with 175 tenants in office and warehouse spaces.

Shooting Occurring on the Property

Sunbeam made minimal investment in security until a shooting occurred on their own property. The situation highlighted the importance of modern security solutions and motivated them to find proactive ways to deter crime on their properties.

“We had a situation in the park where we had shooting, which really changed our mentality.”
Gina Jaramillo, Property Manager

Sunbeam knew they had to figure out how to get ahead of this issue and any similar problems that may occur.

Local Police Recommend Flock Safety Cameras

Local law enforcement reached out to Sunbeam and recommended Flock Safety cameras. Police in the area were already using Flock Safety themselves and knew that Flock would offer a proactive security solution for the communities. Sunbeam began installing Flock cameras, eventually expanding to cover all ten entrances with 20 cameras, and strengthened their ties with local law enforcement in the process.

Issues with Trespassers Leaving Trash that Attracted Raccoons

Shortly after installing Flock Safety License Plate Reader (LPR) cameras, Sunbeam identified where trespassers were entering the property at night, leaving food and other trash that attracted raccoons. Tenants began to complain and Sunbeam sought a quick resolution to regain trust. 

Sunbeam investigated the issue using their Flock Safety LPR cameras and identified the trespassers and their vehicles. Using the tag number from the cameras, they used Flock’s Custom Hot Lists feature to immediately receive alerts whenever previous trespassers tried to re-enter the property.

“With the hot list alerts. I'm notified every time somebody who has been trespassed or talked to before is seen by the cameras. If I get an alert on my phone saying this person is trespassing, I can speak to the officer and let them know that this person was trespassing. I send them over to the building to make a trespass.”
Gina Jaramillo, Property Manager


Thanks to Flock Safety’s Hot List capabilities, Sunbeam could tackle its trespassing issue directly and eliminate the issue bothering its tenants. 

Building Stronger Ties with Local Law Enforcement

“The collaboration with [Flock Safety] has changed our relationship tremendously. The police are now proactively telling me things that are happening.”
Gina Jaramillo, Property Manager


Implementing Flock Safety allowed Sunbeam to deepen its ties with local law enforcement while utilizing a tool to make their own property management jobs easier. Police were equipped with actionable evidence to immediately locate suspects and issue appropriate trespassing violations, building a bond between the two organizations. Flock representatives were quick to answer questions when Sunbeam needed support, ensuring efficiency during the transition to the product. 

“Working with Flock is nice because you all are so responsive. You all respond to me within five minutes every single time. That’s so helpful from a property management perspective because it’s not something that I have to keep following up on.”
Gina Jaramillo, Property Manager
