Mobile Patrol Security: Is It Right for Your Property?
Not every property needs a full-time security guard. For many businesses and properties, mobile patrol security delivers professional protection at a fraction of the cost.
What Is Mobile Patrol Security?
Trained security officers in marked or unmarked patrol vehicles make regular visits to one or more properties. Each visit includes:
- Exterior inspection for forced entry, vandalism, or suspicious activity
- Checking that gates, doors, and windows are secured
- Monitoring parking areas
- Safety hazard identification
- GPS-documented inspection reports
Scheduled vs. Random Patrols
Scheduled patrols arrive at set times — useful for compliance and insurance requirements.
Random patrols vary visit times to prevent predictable patterns — more effective as a deterrent.
Most providers offer a combination of both.
Who Benefits Most?
- Commercial plazas & retail — after-hours coverage without a dedicated overnight guard
- Industrial & warehouse properties — covering large perimeters cost-effectively
- Vacant properties & development land — deterring trespassers and squatters
- Strata & residential communities — overnight and weekend coverage
- Construction sites — cost-effective alternative to full-time overnight guards
- Agricultural properties — remote area monitoring in BC's Interior and Alberta
The Cost Advantage
| Coverage Type | Approximate Monthly Cost | |---|---| | Full-time overnight guard (8hr, 5 nights) | $3,500 – $6,000+ | | Mobile patrol (6 visits/night, 5 nights) | $400 – $900 | | Mobile patrol (7 nights/week) | $600 – $1,400 |
For many properties, patrol provides 80% of the deterrent value at 20% of the cost.
