Officer H. Gomez of HBI Security is an example of super performance with a good heart in performing his duty and deserved to be commended. We have a crashed vehicle parked across the street awaiting towing by AAA to a collision repair shop. He noticed our car and left us a friendly note advising us not to worry though there were many people calling and reporting to his department. Well, a heartless person from the Police Department in Alameda issued us a citation this early morning without any forewarning. Furthermore, our severely damaged car was marked to be tow away in 72 hours. Yes the car was parked on the street facing the wrong direction. Yes we neglected to ask AAA to correct it. However, it should have been understood that we were under duress since the car accident. The way we looked at it. It's the equivalent of putting salts on an open wound. Shame on that person, a heartless SOB. read more

We (self & dog) were attacked by an unleashed German shepherd (2x). Informed Harbor Bay Security and they actually spoke to the dog owner about my situation. They followed up with me and I have to say Harbor Bay Security really CARES for people & their pets living here. Thanks so much & keep up the great work! Dogs (especially those known to hate little dogs) should be on a leash & have a muzzle on. It was a very scary situation since the German Shepard strapped my little dog (leashed) down and I was down too. We were completely helpless. Hate to have to carry a weapon while dog walking in Alameda. read more

One night while returned from a day with mom and dad left my trunk open. Inside the trunk was my very expensive camcorder, and many others things worth value. At 3:15 AM my door bell rang and it was security telling me about the open trunk. I live in Harbor Bay and see security driving around looking for anything that may be a problem. They do their job, they are dressed professionally and polite. We are happy they are here, I'm also happy someone didn't walk out with my trunks contents. read more

These five stars are for the guards who showed up in two trucks within minutes today possibly diffusing a situation and potentially preventing someone from getting seriously hurt. It's rare you hear profane yelling and screaming here out on Fantasy Island because "Da Planes, Boss, Da Planes!" drown out every iota of sound constantly. However, as I was quietly doing some research near my back door, I could here it loud and clear. There was some dude in his late teens or early twenties screaming and cursing at the top of his lungs at someone about a half mile away across the lagoon in my backyard. They (turns out it was a young man and young woman) made it down through the pampas grass to the sidewalk by the lagoon and screaming continued all coming from the dude from what I could hear. He even raised his hand at the girl like he was about to hit her when they were across from my house. That's when I called HBS since the couple was headed towards the end of the roadway where I've seen the security trucks parked from time to time. It's also where the line gets drawn between where HBS covers and the beginning of Allied Barton's Business Park Security takes over. I don't know what went down but when I looked out front and down the road, there were two HBS trucks parked right where the couple would have most likely ended up. The officers were talking to people. I don't know what went down, if anything, but the immediate response was amazing. Kudos, guys! read more

Yet another useless waste of money. They don't come when you call them, or lecture you for calling because they think your needs aren't important. They're either far too out of shape or far too Paul Blarty to be useful. Move on, call APD first. Save yourself the waste of time with "security" read more

Extremely Good service, well trained and professional. Worth the monthly dues read more

Harbor Bay Security - Security Systems Near Me - Alameda, California

I appreciate having HB Security available in my neighborhood but we do pay a pretty penny in our HOA fees. The constant rotating presence is reassuring especially when crime incidents happen in other parts of the island. They will go to your house and check yard and doors when on vacation. I find the officers approachable and friendly. They need to call Alameda Police if arrest possible or severe crime underway. One disappointment was recently found out that they don't have a slim gym to help you get into your locked car with the keys inside. read more

When I write my check each month to pay our HOA dues and fees, Harbor Bay Security is the ONLY visible, tangible benefit I see each day that is worth it! I don't expect them to ever "take a bullet for me", but for all the vacation watches, jumping car batteries, taking away dead rodents, and any other "crap" that they are willing to do for homeowners that ask, they are well worth having and I am very pleased we have them here. THANKS! read more

After visiting Harbor Bay Isle over the weekend, I was left feeling disgusted. My friend and his partner were looking for areas in the Oakland area to purchase a home and our Realtor had referred a couple of potential properties in the Harbor Bay neighborhood. My friend an I, along with our Realtor decided to check the area out for potential buys. After driving through and viewing a few properties, we noticed we were being followed by a white truck. When we stopped to take a look at some of the waterfront properties and the views from the park alongside Sea View Parkway, the white truck pulled up behind us and two security officers stepped out. One of the guards approached us and said, "Are you guys lost? You look suspicious". He then proceeded to question us about where we were from, where we lived, ect. He also mentioned that we had entered the community (in heavy traffic) going 40mph which grew initial "suspicions". Since I work in Traffic Law, I knew that this could not be determined without a lidar or radar gun and furthermore was inappropriate for a non-police officer to be enforcing or alleging such traffic violations. We then got back in our vehicle and began to tour the south end of the neighborhood but once again noticed we were being followed by the security guards. They followed us until we eventually made our way towards the exit. It was extremely offensive and out of line to be questioned in the manner we were. Especially because we did absolutely nothing wrong nor did we exhibit "suspicious" behavior. A sad reminder of the world we live in and ignorance in the land of the "free". read more

I just moved into the area and did the usual dumb thing of leaving the garage door open. They did the checks etc. and when I got home the note left on the the door certainly left me feeling a little bit safer for sure. Yeah I know its not exactly a crime ridden ara but heh every bit counts and just wanted to say thanks! read more

I agree with Reviewer RY....I find security to be very helpful...use them for vacation watch all the time. Nice to know they will jump car if necessary... read more

People who complain about the HB Security are whiners. I would rather have them around then NOT, While it's true they have human faults and are not perfect robots, I am sooooo happy to live in Alameda where I feel safe and I've noticed very little crime for the 18 years I've lived here. Hooray for Security! read more
