Mobile patrol
A marked vehicle checking your property on an irregular schedule through the night.
What this actually involves
A dedicated guard costs more than most properties need. A patrol route spreads one officer across several sites and buys presence rather than continuous coverage.
Passes run on an irregular schedule on purpose. A patrol that arrives at 2:00 every morning teaches anyone watching exactly when not to be there.
Each pass is a real check — doors, gates, lighting, vehicles that do not belong — logged with a timestamp, not a drive-by.
What you get back
- Timestamped log of every pass with what was checked
- Photos of anything found out of place
- Escalation to your on-call contact and to law enforcement when warranted
- Monthly summary of activity across the route
Questions we get
Before you call
- How many passes a night do I get?
- Set by your contract. Two to four is typical for a commercial property. More passes cost more, so the question is what your actual exposure window is.
- Is patrol cheaper than a guard on site?
- Considerably, because the cost of the officer and the vehicle is shared across the route. The trade is presence instead of continuous coverage — if something has to be watched every minute, patrol is the wrong service.
