Case Study: Dragone Realty achieves a safer, revitalized community with Surveillance Secure

Surveillance Secure Aids Community Transformation

Dragone Realty, a multifamily property manager, was confronting significant safety challenges in a Suitland community—drug and gang activity and even gun discharges near a school—that were harming residents’ quality of life and investor objectives. Dragone engaged Surveillance Secure to assess the physical and building environments and recommend a mix of video surveillance, access control, and alarm/intrusion measures, plus installation, staff training, and ongoing support.

Surveillance Secure deployed an open‑architecture security solution (networked video, access control, and alarms), trained onsite personnel, and coordinated with the Prince George’s County Police Department. The visual deterrent and recorded evidence allowed rapid police response—one shooting led to an arrest in under 15 minutes—helped reduce drug/gang presence, strengthened police–community partnerships, and brought families back into green spaces, measurably improving safety and resident quality of life.
