We offer comprehensive mobile security patrols for residential and commercial premises across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire. But first, what actually do we mean by mobile security patrols? And what are the benefits? Here's a few short answers to explain.
What is a mobile security patrol?
A mobile security patrol will typically involve a trained and certified security guard visiting your property at a scheduled time and doing an inspection. That will be based around an initial assessment and any specific instructions which the client may have.
The guard will review access points such as windows and doors, as well as boundaries, fences and walls. The patrol will is designed to be highly visible as a deterrant should the property be watched or noticed.
Patrols will involve trained personnel with experience in public service, able to detect signs of a developing issue such as disturbance or damage.
Following a patrol, a review is made available to the client digitally through our app, and the patrol itself can be tracked through the app too.
What happens during a security patrol?
Key areas identified above will be checked and inspected thoroughly and anything which needs highlighting will be photographed. Bodyworn cameras are also used should they be required for evidence collection or reporting.
If an issue is detected, it will be reported immediately to the client and, if necessary, the authorities. Should an incident take place during or before a patrol, the relevant parties will be notified and any immediately necessary actions will be taken to secure the property and address any risks or issues.
What are the benefits or a security patrol?
There are considerable benefits to residential or commercial security patrols, however the one we hear most is peace of mind. Knowing your property is being overseen by trained, vetted and certified security guards helps our clients to focus on other things, such as enjoying their holidays or running their business.
Additionally, patrols of vacant properties can help reduce the risk of damage to property and often help comply with insurance requirements.
Mobile patrols feature more than just a security guard testing the doors and checking windows. Damage can be noted and rectified quickly and reported. A highly visible patrol is also, of course, a good deterrent and easily noticed.
How often should mobile security patrols take place?
Every property, situation and requirement is different. We offer bespoke solutions alongside standard packages. In all cases, patrols are scheduled to be at staggered or differing times - day or night - to ensure that a routine cannot be identified.
The regularity of patrolling is entirely up to the client, however we will often make a recommendation based on the situation as we see it. Patrols can be daily, weekly or some mix of times dependent, for example, on when the property may be vacant or most at risk.
