The workday ends, your employees go home, and your commercial property is left empty and vulnerable. The hours between closing time and opening time are the period of highest risk for any business. It is during these quiet, dark hours that your property is most susceptible to theft, vandalism, trespassing, and other criminal activity. While a static, on-site guard is a great solution for some businesses, a 24/7 mobile security patrol service can be an incredibly effective and cost-efficient way to provide a powerful security presence and deterrent for a wide range of commercial properties, from office parks and industrial facilities to shopping centers and apartment complexes.
What is a Mobile Security Patrol?
A mobile security patrol service involves a professional, uniformed security officer who patrols a designated area in a clearly marked and highly visible security vehicle. Unlike a static guard who remains at a single post, a patrol officer will visit your property multiple times throughout their shift at random, unpredictable intervals. During each visit, they will perform a thorough inspection of your property.
The Power of Proactive, Random Patrols
The key to the effectiveness of a mobile patrol is its random nature.
- A Powerful Deterrent: Potential criminals often case a property before they strike, looking for patterns in activity. Because the patrol visits are at random and unpredictable times, a criminal can never be sure when the security vehicle might be just around the corner. This element of surprise is a massive deterrent that makes your property a much less attractive target.
- Comprehensive Property Checks: During each patrol, the officer will perform a detailed security check. This typically includes:
- Checking all exterior doors, windows, and gates to ensure they are locked and secure.
- Patrolling the entire parking lot and perimeter to deter vehicle break-ins and vandalism.
- Responding to any alarm activations.
- Identifying and reporting any safety hazards, such as water leaks or broken lights.
- Providing a detailed digital report after each patrol, complete with photos and a GPS log of their activity.
A Cost-Effective Security Solution
For many properties that do not require a full-time, on-site security guard, a mobile patrol service can be a much more cost-effective way to establish a professional security presence. You are essentially sharing the cost of a security officer with other businesses in your area, while still receiving the significant deterrent benefit of regular, professional checks on your property throughout the night.
Who Can Benefit from a Patrol Service?
- Commercial Office Parks: To deter after-hours break-ins and vandalism.
- Industrial and Warehouse Facilities: To protect valuable inventory and equipment.
- Retail Shopping Centers: To provide a visible security presence after the stores have closed.
- Apartment and Condominium Communities: To deter crime and provide residents with an enhanced sense of security.
- Construction Sites: To protect valuable materials and equipment from overnight theft.
As many business and property management resources will attest, a layered security approach is the most effective, and a mobile patrol is a key layer of that strategy.
