Security- Los Angeles

I’ve had an issue with a squatter breaking into a vacant rental in LA (near USC).  Can anyone recommend a semi-affordable security armed response service that would be able to respond quickly?  The LAPD has been less than helpful.  

Or any other ideas that anyone who has had vacant homes in South LA, flips, rentals, etc has used to protect the property?  Thanks

@Chris Modzeleski, @KJ L. nailed it. We had a vacant building in Compton that we were attempting to sell after foreclosing. We placed RING cameras with floodlights around the exterior because we were having problems with transients breaking in. After a few incidents, during which we used the two-way speaker system to warn them, the issues went away. Definitely the most economical and effective way.
