What Are Mobile Patrols?
Mobile patrols involve licensed security officers conducting regular or random checks of your property in fully marked patrol vehicles. These officers perform external and, if required, internal inspections to ensure everything is secure — from checking doors and windows to responding to alarms or suspicious activity.
Unlike static guards who are based in one location, mobile patrols cover more ground, provide visible deterrents, and are ideal for sites that don’t require constant on-site security but still need consistent monitoring.
Why You Need Mobile Patrol Security
Criminal activity often occurs during periods of low visibility, late at night, weekends, or during public holidays. Vacant properties or low-occupancy sites are especially vulnerable. Mobile patrols provide:
-
Unpredictable Security Presence: Patrols are carried out at varying times, making it impossible for potential intruders to predict guard movements.
-
Rapid Incident Response: Our patrol officers are trained to act quickly and decisively in the event of a break-in, fire, or alarm activation.
-
Wide Area Coverage: Ideal for industrial parks, business estates, warehouses, construction sites, and schools.
-
Added Reassurance: Regular mobile visits help reassure staff, tenants, and visitors that their safety is a priority.
-
Insurance Compliance: Many insurers require evidence of regular security patrols for cover on vacant or high-risk sites.

Mobile Patrols FAQs
Mobile patrols involve security officers travelling between multiple sites in marked vehicles to conduct regular inspections, deter criminal activity, and respond to incidents. It’s a flexible and cost-effective alternative to full-time, on-site security.
Unlike static guards who remain on one premises, mobile patrol officers cover multiple locations during their shifts. This makes them ideal for low-risk sites, large areas, or businesses that do not require constant on-site security.
Duties typically include perimeter checks, internal inspections, checking for signs of intrusion or damage, ensuring doors and windows are secure, and responding to alarms or suspicious activity.
Absolutely. All mobile patrol officers are fully SIA-licensed and trained in areas such as site inspection, conflict management, first aid, and emergency procedures.
In the event of a false alarm, the attending officer will still carry out a thorough inspection to confirm there’s no sign of intrusion or damage. The alarm system will be reset, and a detailed report will be provided.
If a genuine incident is detected, the officer will secure the premises, contact the police, and stay on-site until the situation is under control. You will also be notified immediately and given a full incident report.
Response times vary by location, but patrol officers are strategically based to ensure a rapid reaction. Trust 24hr Security prioritises urgent alerts to minimise risk and disruption.
