How private swat teams in Las Vegas handle squatters in vacant apartments

In Las Vegas, private security teams are tackling an escalating squatter crisis in apartment complexes, exacerbated by rising evictions. Protective Force International, led by CEO Jonathan Alvarez, is at the forefront, servicing over 300 properties besieged by unauthorized occupants. The situation has deteriorated to the point where a specialized task force is now deployed to address this challenge head-on. These squatters, beyond seeking shelter, are often found amidst dangerous conditions, including drug use and the presence of trafficked children. The security teams, prepared for various threats, work alongside Metro Police to mitigate these issues, suggesting strategies to property owners to prevent squatter incursions. This development reflects a broader problem tied to the pandemic's aftermath, highlighting the struggle between property rights and the homeless crisis, with innovative solutions like drone surveillance being employed to manage the situation.
