A mobile patrol unit is a great alternative to an on-site security guard as they visit your premises by vehicle to carry out the tasks assigned to them. Whether those tasks are drive-by observation or having officers get out of their vehicles to tour the premises and make sure that they are secure.
Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of hiring mobile patrols for your assigned projects.
An Economical Solution
A permanent, on-site security guard may go over your budget but a mobile patrol gets assigned a scope of work within a certain budget. Your security officer will watch over various areas of your establishment to reduce losses, liabilities, vandalism, robberies and break-ins 24/7 or at the times you schedule them. They also reduce costs by reducing the chances of liabilities from criminal acts, saving you thousands of dollars in potential lawsuits or other damages.
A Strong Visual Deterrent
Because mobile patrols are strongly marked in uniform with evidently recognizable vehicles, they’re easy to spot, even from a distance. They are a strong visual deterrent as criminals are much less likely to carry through with a crime if they see there is constant patrol over an area.
Surveillance of More Than One Location
Because this form of security is mobile on foot, bike or wheels in the form of a car or motorcycle, it’s easy to offer surveillance over multiple locations. This offers a quick, efficient and professional method of ensuring the utmost safety for an establishment and its visitors and staff.
Employee & Customer Safety
Mobile security guards can escort staff late at night to ensure their safety, whether they need an authority figure to escort them to the closest bus stop or their car, this is an excellent way to keep your employees safe. If the guard isn’t on-site, they can arrive whenever necessary to ensure the employee arrives at their final destination safely.
Emergency Response
Mobile patrols are much more effective at promptly responding to alarms or emergency situations due to their access to vehicles.
