What Are Patrols?
Enhanced Security with On-Site Guard Response
Patrol services provide an added layer of security by incorporating the presence of security guards who can physically respond to alerts at your business premises. Unlike traditional alarm systems, where notifications are sent remotely, patrols send an alert directly to the control room, dispatching a security guard to your location. This system ensures that your property is monitored and receives an on-site response when needed.
These systems offer flexibility through regular patrols—scheduled security visits at set times—and random patrols, conducted unpredictably to keep potential intruders off guard. This combination ensures comprehensive coverage and an immediate response to possible threats, helping businesses deter break-ins, unauthorised access, and other security concerns.
We work closely with professional patrol companies to provide these services, ensuring that your site is safeguarded by trained security personnel who can act swiftly in the event of an alarm.
How Patrol Services Work
Immediate Security Response with Our Patrol Services
Our patrol services are designed to provide immediate, on-the-ground security whenever an alarm is triggered. Here’s how the system works:
When an alarm is triggered—whether due to an unauthorised entry or suspicious activity—a signal is instantly sent to our control room.
Staffed by trained professionals, the control room immediately receives the alarm signal. They assess the situation and determine whether to dispatch a security patrol to investigate further.
The control room contacts the partnered patrol company to send a trained security guard to your premises if needed. The patrol officer arrives at the site to conduct a thorough inspection, verify the alarm, and take necessary action to secure the property.
Depending on the situation, the security guard may take different actions, from securing the premises after an alarm to calling local authorities if required. This immediate physical presence ensures that threats are handled swiftly and effectively.
The flexibility of our patrols means you can choose between regular, scheduled patrols to keep a consistent watch on your property or random patrols to create unpredictability and deter potential intruders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between regular patrols and random patrols?
Regular patrols are scheduled security checks that consistently monitor your property at specific times. On the other hand, random patrols are unscheduled and unpredictable, which helps to keep potential intruders off guard by introducing an element of surprise. Both options can be customised to your security needs.
How quickly does a security patrol respond to an alarm?
When an alarm is triggered, the control room contacts the patrol company immediately, and a security guard is dispatched. Response times depend on the distance and availability of patrols, but the goal is to have a guard on-site as quickly as possible to assess and address the situation.
What happens if the security guard finds an issue during a patrol?
If the security guard identifies a problem, such as unauthorised access or suspicious activity, they will immediately secure the premises. Depending on the nature of the incident, this may include contacting local law enforcement or other emergency services.
How do I choose between regular and random patrols?
Depending on your business’s security needs, you can choose between regular and random patrols. Regular patrols offer consistent monitoring and can be scheduled based on your operating hours, while random patrols add an unpredictable element that can be more effective at deterring intruders. You can also combine both for comprehensive coverage.
