Gilbert will pilot private security patrols in Heritage District garages

Gilbert is adding private security patrols to its Heritage District garages during peak usage hours.

Special for Independent Newsmedia/Arianna Grainey

The town of Gilbert will contract with private security for its free Heritage District parking garages for the next six months.

The security will operate 6 p.m.-2 a.m. Wednesday-Saturday and is meant to curb incidents of teen loitering and substance abuse in the garages, which have been the site of a well-publicized assault in December 2022 and an accidental death by falling in May.

Gilbert Town Council approved the change to a contract with Capital Guard & Patrol on a 7-0 vote.
