In recent months, the Skyline Apartments in Syracuse had become a focal point for safety concerns following the tragic death of 93-year-old resident Connie Tuori. The incident sparked public outrage and a critical need for effective security intervention. In response, Alpha Security Bureau stepped in—and the results have been nothing short of transformational.
A Game-Changer in Apartment Security
On April 5, 2021, Green National, the property owner of Skyline Apartments, partnered with Alpha Security Bureau to provide 24/7 on-site protection. The decision marked a significant shift from relying solely on local law enforcement to a dedicated, professional private security presence.
And the results? Immediate and measurable.
Police patrols reduced: Syracuse Police scaled back their patrols from 7 days a week to 4, and Onondaga County Sheriff’s deputies are preparing to fully withdraw.
Call volume drops: In just weeks after Alpha Security’s deployment, police calls dropped 44%, from 31 calls to just 17 in a single week.
Earning Trust, Restoring Peace
Residents are already noticing a difference. Alpha Security’s team has been praised for its hands-on approach, proactive patrolling, and visible deterrence of criminal activity. Nate Hughes, Senior Community Manager for Green National, expressed his satisfaction:
“We are confident in Alpha and their ability. We’ve already seen vast improvements at the property. Residents appreciate Alpha’s presence.”
City officials—including Mayor Ben Walsh—acknowledge the improvement while continuing to monitor progress. Walsh noted that while the drop in calls is encouraging, long-standing issues at Skyline still require consistent oversight.
Why Alpha Security Bureau Stands Out
Alpha Security Bureau doesn’t just respond to incidents—they prevent them. By offering armed and unarmed guard services, roving patrols, and tailored security strategies, Alpha ensures that communities like Skyline aren’t just protected—they feel protected.
Key elements of their success include:
✅ 24/7 on-site patrol
✅ Rapid response and crisis management
✅ Visible deterrence and tenant reassurance
✅ Ongoing feedback and adaptation to site-specific needs
The Future of Apartment Security
The Skyline case is a prime example of how professional private security, when done right, can make a substantial difference. Alpha Security Bureau has not only restored a sense of safety but also demonstrated how smart, consistent action can reduce strain on public resources while enhancing tenant confidence.
In a city striving for safer housing, Alpha Security Bureau is leading the charge—one patrol, one property, and one partnership at a time.
