Farm and truck yard monitoring in Delano, California

Local and live

Table grape country on Highway 99

Delano was founded on July 14, 1869, as a railroad town where the line coming south from San Francisco ended. Today State Route 99 runs past it as a full freeway, with an exit for State Route 155, and the route's main job in this part of the valley is linking farms with processing and packing businesses. Agriculture is Delano's major industry, and the area is known as a centre for growing table grapes, with citrus growers and vineyards among its larger employers. The Delano Municipal Airport has a 5,651-foot runway open to the public.

Farm machinery here draws organized thieves. The Operation Tractor Pull investigation began in March 2024, when sheriff's agricultural crimes detectives learned of a backhoe stolen near Delano, and by the time arrests were announced that October, investigators tied about $2.25 million in stolen heavy equipment to the ring. Vehicle theft is a statewide problem as well: California had 136,988 vehicles stolen in 2025, more than a fifth of the national total, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

Every incident comes with video clips and a written report, and every quote costs less than a 24/7 guard.
