The Ultimate Guide to Mobile Patrol Services: Everything You Need to Know
Mobile patrol services play a key role in protecting large premises and sites. Many companies prefer the physical presence of security personnel on their premises over CCTV cameras or an alarm system. If you haven’t heard of or have never arranged mobile patrol before, we have taken this opportunity to create the ultimate guide on everything you need to know. Continue reading to learn how your premises or site can benefit from mobile patrol services.
What Is Mobile Patrol?
Mobile patrol or mobile security is one of the many services we offer here at Alpha Omega Securities. It involves appointing a mobile patrol officer to conduct regular inspections of a property, either on foot or in a marked vehicle. This service is suitable for business owners or site managers who do not need a full-time security guard on-site, but still want their premises or site to be regularly monitored for intrusion, vandalism, theft, fire or flooding. For the highest levels of security, consider appointing mobile patrol officers alongside existing CCTV monitoring or alarm response systems.
Benefits of Mobile Patrol Services
Flexible
Every business property has a different level of security concerns or risks. A mobile patrol service can be arranged to suit your specific security requirements. Inspections can be carried out in certain key areas at various times. These inspections could be on a random or scheduled basis during the day and night, including weekends and bank holidays. For instance, a security officer can patrol an area once per hour.
Unlike on-site security guards, mobile patrol officers don’t stay in the same place. Instead, they move around your premises to cover multiple locations. They can also carry out other tasks such as transporting staff and unlocking or locking sites if requested to do so.
Rapid Response
Mobile patrol officers are professional security personnel. Not only do they patrol key areas, but are trained to handle any incident. Most mobile patrol officers are qualified to perform first aid in emergencies. They can also report any suspicious behaviour, work with law enforcement and follow the appropriate protocols.
Cost-Effective
Mobile patrol is an ideal option for businesses that are looking for affordable security. Hiring on-site security guards can be expensive and a full-time basis may not be necessary. Mobile patrol tends to be a cost-effective alternative because you only pay for the patrol hours instead of an hourly rate.
