Many new security advances can update you on suspicious activity. These include robots that can surveil a business and cell phone apps that monitor neighborhood crime. Yet despite all of these advances, time and again successful business owners choose mobile security patrols to safely protect their enterprise. They know there is no substitute for a person on the ground who can check, monitor and investigate suspicious activity.
Every business owner wants to maximize protection while minimizing cost. Professional security services like Ranger Guard know that deterrence is a key factor in reducing crime, which means your property stays safer. It can also lower your insurance premiums by an estimated 15-20%.
One of the most effective ways to achieve that deterrence is mobile patrol. Officers in a clearly marked security car will visit your property several times a night. Ranger Guard offers this kind of mobile patrol service in many major cities across the US. We’ve operated in cities such as Houston, Austin, and Dallas, as well as many of our franchise locations across other states.
Why Roving Patrol Security Is a Better Option
Different situations require a different type of security. Static security guards have many advantages, especially in high traffic environments. Crowd control and managing entry are likely to be concerns in such settings. For businesses such as a multi-storey car park or gated community, static security officers cannot be everywhere at once. From a centrally located pillbox, gate or office, a guard may be able to monitor multiple security cameras and buzz people in and out of the premises, even late at night, but if anything happens they will be slow to act.
You need a solution which is highly visible and which offers a quick response to the changing environment, no matter the issue. Roving officers who provide a security patrol service are one such answer.
Save Money, Increase Deterrence
Hiring a mobile patrol unit such as Ranger Guard isn’t nearly as expensive as you’d imagine. Due to the extra mobility provided by cars, our mobile patrols visit multiple sites throughout a shift. When they’re not checking on your business, they’re patrolling another one. Therefore you split the cost of the security service with someone else. This can save you two or three times what you would pay for individualized around-the-clock protection.
Our mobile patrol officers arrive in highly visible marked security vehicles, complete with lights, to patrol your property. These patrol services make random visits throughout the night, so criminals are not able to monitor their schedule and plan accordingly. The lights and decals clearly identify the car as a patrol car to deter potential thieves . Depending on which option you select, your mobile patrol security officer may be armed or they could be an unarmed officer.
Insurance companies are well aware of the deterrence effect of mobile security. By choosing a mobile patrol you may be able to reduce your insurance premium by as much 10-15%. A mobile patrol is a far cheaper solution than static guards, who can cover far less ground.
On a large property a mobile patrol will help increase safety while lowering costs.
Understanding Roving Patrol
Our mission is to provide roving patrols with unprecedented individualized customer service, creative solutions, and utilization of current technology. Patrol officers physically check all accessible gates, doors, parking and garage areas to ensure there is no unauthorized activity taking place. On completing their inspection they log their visit using Ranger Guard’s high-tech tracking system. Documentation provides peace of mind for the client, who can rest easily knowing their property is protected. It also provides valuable evidence in the event of a lawsuit.
Officers are equipped with GPS to allow you to know exactly where they are. They photograph the property as they patrol and post real time updates on a designated client-access web site. Customers can access their account at any time to verify patrols and see the officer’s daily reports. They will also be able to share this information, where relevant, with law enforcement or property managers. Gated communities in particular will want to share this information with key staff.
