Security for housing developments, show homes and partly occupied schemes.
Regular checks without a permanent presence.
Scheduled and random mobile or foot patrols for sites that need visible checks rather than full-time guarding.
Service overview
What this service provides
Mobile and foot patrols provide a cost-effective alternative to static guarding where a permanent presence is not required. Patrol officers attend at agreed or randomised times, check perimeters, entrances and vulnerable areas, and report their findings.
The problem
What this addresses
Sites that are empty overnight or at weekends are exposed, but full-time guarding may not be proportionate to the risk or budget.
Why it works

Patrols at fixed or randomised times to reduce predictability.
Visible presence
