As time has progressed, the types of security services have diversified. Although having traditional static security guards at your premises is still a very robust style of securing your premises, other methods such as mobile security patrols have proven to be very popular and effective.

What is mobile security?

Mobile security is a having professionally trained security guards who unlike static guards who remain at your premises, conduct regular patrols of your premises.

Why chose mobile security?

One of the primary reasons people opt to choose mobile security patrols as opposed to static guards is that it is far more cost effective to have professional security guards patrolling frequently but not remaining on sight.

This means that guards still have some visual presence as people will see them coming onto sight and patrolling and know that the building has security in place.

Guards will also monitor the premises and look out for any signs of vandalism or forced entry. SIA trained patrol guards are skilled identifying:

• Unlocked doors or windows
• Vandalism
• Break ins
• Fire
• Leaks
• Hazards
• Health and safety concerns

The security guards will carry out routine and sometimes random patrols and checks. This means that your premises is kept safe and secure at a lower cost than if you were to have static guards manning the building all day and night.

Mobile patrol guards are always equipped with the right tools to ensure that checks are carried out properly. This includes safety boots, high visibility uniform, torches, radios, etc.

Parameter checks are conducted regularly and are created based on risk assessments and red routes. This is to ensure that every patrol and check is effective.

Mobile security teams carry out their patrols in security marked vehicles who help create a strong visual deterrent for professional and opportunist thieves.

Mobile security are also skilled in rapid alarm response. This means that if an alarm has been activated, mobile security patrol guards will be at the sight straight away. This could save business owners thousands in losses.

Building site security

Construction businesses are usually incredibly busy using their skills and staff to carry out their building work.

These sites are cramped with expensive equipment and materials. Due to strict deadlines, it is impractical and expensive to take equipment away every day. Which means equipment and materials remain on site until the project is complete.

This creates an

opportunity for thieves to access the site and potentially steal the equipment and materials – costing the construction company thousands.

Many construction companies have suffered losses through theft and vandalism. Companies now consider using a professional security service provider to ensure that the construction site is secure.

They will ensure only authorised people are permitted to enter the site and meet specified requirements, such as high visibility uniform and safety equipment.
