Security Patrols
Security patrol services are an excellent method of creating a deterrent by implementing a visible security presence. Whether it be motor vehicle patrol, bike-mounted patrol, walk-around patrol or stationary patrol. Our highly trained patrol officers are equipped with everything they need to ensure reliable and quality service is provided to you and all our clients. Patrol officers are vigilant and reliable, patrolling your business or neighborhood in marked uniforms and vehicles, inspecting your property as often as your needs dictate. They will identify any suspicious activity and make contact with any individuals who do not belong on your property. Any evidence of criminal activity is accurately recorded, and we notify local law enforcement immediately when necessary.

Stationary Patrol: Our professionally dressed guard is stationed in a lobby, guard shack, or high-traffic area to create a presence that deters disruption or criminal activity. This is a highly visual type of patrol and is effective for public lobbies, parking garages or guarded entries. When coupled with a foot or motorized patrol, stationary patrol provides 100% coverage for most facilities.
Walk-around Patrol: Close-up mobile protection. Walk-around “Foot” Patrol, allows our guards to be hands-on with any issues that arise. They can interact with people face to face, they can go anywhere inside or out and the community can get to know them. Patrol officers will inspect building and fence perimeters, office areas, common areas, and doors and windows of businesses. Foot patrol can be exclusive or mixed with other types of patrol. Foot patrol is usually implemented within buildings or around a small complex. The appearance of a trained guard at your location serves the specific purpose of preventing crime. Additionally, the officer makes random patrols since the constant movement of the guard deters a criminal or disruptive element from identifying a pattern of movement.
Bike-mounted Patrol: Great mobility and accessibility. With the ability to travel quickly over short to medium distances and have total access to any location, inside or out, makes our Bike-mounted Patrol a very versatile service. This service is a great preventative security measure because of its high visibility and intense coverage of the patrol area, giving the bike patrol a great advantage over all potential criminals. The mobility of the bike also makes it very quick in busy congested areas such as the downtown sector.
Motor Vehicle Patrol: Conducted by a licensed and trained patrol officer working out of a clearly marked vehicle, who performs one or more patrol inspections of the customer’s property as often as needed. Motor vehicle patrol provides security for spread-out areas such as residential communities (HOA’s), apartment complexes, business complexes, farms, and other large individual businesses. Motorized patrol allows the officer to cover a large area and check multiple locations. When mobile patrol is randomized and widespread, it becomes much more difficult for a criminal to plan any illegal activity. Depending on your needs, we can also perform door/window checks, building " fence perimeter checks and common areas.
Our Mobile Patrol services include:
One of our highly trained mobile drivers will patrol your site or property in clearly marked vehicles. The following services are available:
- 24-hour On-site Patrol
- After-hour On-site Patrol
- Drive-through Patrol
- On-Call-Service
- Alarm Response
- Holiday Home Checks
- Emergency response (Rapid & Guaranteed)
On-site Patrol -- On-site patrol officers, thoroughly patrol business properties or neighborhoods in marked uniforms and vehicles, on hand as a visible deterrent for criminal activity. The officer will observe and test all accessible gates, doors, and windows, making sure they are secured and reporting conditions found on the property to the business owners and/or local law enforcement when necessary. Competently and according to post orders, inspecting property as often as your need dictates. Patrol officers will identify any suspicious activity and ward off any individuals who do not belong on your property.
Drive-through Patrol -- Drive-through patrol officers generally do not remain on-site and use a well-marked vehicle to make their “rounds”. The drive-through patrol officer’s goal is to ensure safety and deter property loss by making sure there are no unauthorized persons trespassing on the property and quickly responding to any signs of vandalism. As to our on-site patrol service, the officer will observe and test all accessible gates, doors, and windows, making sure they are secured and reporting conditions found on the property to the business owners and/or local law enforcement when necessary.
On-Call-Service -- During an on-call-service patrol, we respond to complaints (loud music, neighbor dispute, loitering etc.,) traffic control (speed enforcement, cruising, careless driving), parking and vehicle violation and curfew regulations. Most of our communities issue ordinance violations for problem tenants, in which receiving three (3) such violations will result in the termination of tenancy of the resident.
Alarm Response -- The moment your alarm signal is received by our local monitoring station we first dispatch the response team to proceed to your home or business to investigate, then we call you. Once a full investigation of the home or business has been made, we then report directly back to our Operation Centre, to you, and if necessary to local law enforcement, depending on the situation.
Holiday Home Checks -- While you are away on holiday or business, our mobile patrol team will do a full perimeter security check of your home ensuring the house is secure. The additional services of internal checks, mail pick up and junk mail disposal are also available. (These services are available in certain areas only)
Emergency response -- A "back-up" for our officers. This means that if an officer at one of our sites needs assistance or has an emergency situation, he can notify our dispatch operator or field supervisor of the situation and one of our local patrol units for that area can rapidly respond to the officer's location. This provides added coverage to our clients’ site, at no extra cost, and increases officer safety.
