What does MPS cellular tower security include?

MPS cellular tower security typically combines uniformed officers, access control, patrols, surveillance support, incident response, and incident reporting. Each program is tailored to the facility's footprint, hours, and risk profile.

Why does cellular tower need professional security?

Cellular Tower environments face theft, vandalism, workplace violence, unauthorized access, and liability exposure. A professionally staffed MPS program reduces those risks while supporting day-to-day operations and customer experience.

Are cellular tower security officers armed?

MPS deploys armed or unarmed officers for cellular tower based on the property's risk assessment and client preference. Armed officers are California BSIS-licensed and hold current firearms permits.

Does MPS handle multi-shift cellular tower coverage?

Yes. MPS staffs cellular tower posts 24/7 when required, including nights, weekends, holidays, and surge coverage. Site supervisors verify performance and produce written incident reports.

How does cellular tower security pricing work?

Pricing is built from shift coverage, number of officers, armed vs. unarmed, vehicles, and any specialty equipment. A written proposal is delivered after a free site walk-through.

Cellular Tower Security Risks

Cell tower attackers can strike in any number of ways:

Vandalism: Deliberate damage to towers or equipment. For example, over 30 towers in Britain were set on fire within one month in 2020.
Theft: In Monroe County, Michigan (2021), thieves stole $2,000 in copper wire from one tower and targeted other facilities for wire theft, resulting in infrastructure loss and costly delays.
Hacking/Hijacking: Hackers can intercept private data via fake base stations, also called False Base Stations (FBSs), Rogue Base Stations (RBSs), or IMSI Catchers.
Personnel Threats: Even legitimate technicians have been attacked, sometimes due to conspiracy theories, leading to physical assaults and forced evacuations.

Effective security measures are required to protect infrastructure, sensitive data, and personnel from these diverse threats.
