What is Mobile Patrol?

Mobile patrol security offers a highly cost-effective alternative or complement to static manned guarding, providing regular, scheduled or random visits to your premises by SIA licensed security officers in marked patrol vehicles. Each visit includes a thorough inspection of the building exterior, perimeter fencing, gates, locks, lighting, and any vulnerable areas identified in your security plan. Mobile patrols create an unpredictable security presence that deters criminal activity far more effectively than predictable, fixed-schedule arrangements.

Site Safe Security’s mobile patrol officers are equipped with GPS tracking technology and digital reporting tools that provide verifiable proof of every visit. When an officer arrives at your site, they log their attendance via a checkpoint scanning system that records the exact time, location, and duration of the patrol. Any issues discovered—from insecure doors and damaged fencing to suspicious activity or attempted intrusions—are reported to you in real time with photographic evidence. This level of transparency and accountability sets our service apart from traditional security patrols.

Our mobile patrol service operates in full compliance with BS 7499, covering the planning, delivery, and supervision of patrol operations. Patrols can be scheduled at fixed intervals, randomised to prevent pattern recognition by potential offenders, or deployed on-demand in response to specific threats or intelligence. Whether you manage a portfolio of commercial properties, a chain of retail outlets, or a network of construction sites, our mobile patrols deliver consistent, professional security coverage at a fraction of the cost of full-time static guards.

British Standard Accredited

BS 7499 is the British Standard for the provision of static site guarding and mobile patrol services. It covers the planning, management, and delivery of patrol operations, including patrol scheduling, officer competence, supervision, and reporting. Site Safe Security’s mobile patrol service is fully compliant with this standard, ensuring consistent quality and accountability.

What's Included

GPS-Tracked Patrols

Every patrol visit is verified through GPS tracking and checkpoint scanning technology. You receive time-stamped proof of attendance for every visit, accessible through our client portal.

Photographic Evidence Reports

Officers capture photographic evidence during each patrol, documenting the condition of your premises, any vulnerabilities identified, and incidents observed. Reports are delivered digitally in real time.

Randomised Patrol Schedules

Patrol times can be randomised to eliminate predictable patterns, making it significantly harder for potential offenders to identify windows of opportunity at your premises.

Multi-Site Coverage

Ideal for businesses managing multiple premises, our patrol routes are optimised to cover several sites efficiently. One patrol contract can protect your entire property portfolio.

Marked Patrol Vehicles

Our officers patrol in clearly branded Site Safe Security vehicles, providing a highly visible deterrent to criminal activity in and around your premises.

24-Hour Control Room Backup

Patrol officers maintain constant communication with our control room, enabling immediate escalation, emergency service coordination, and real-time incident management.

Lock & Secure Checks

Officers test all accessible entry points during each patrol, checking doors, windows, gates, and padlocks. Any insecurities are reported immediately and, where possible, made safe on site.

How It Works

1

Site Assessment & Patrol Design

Our security consultant visits each premises to identify patrol checkpoints, vulnerable areas, and site-specific risks. We design a patrol schedule—fixed, randomised, or a combination—tailored to your requirements and budget. Checkpoint locations are programmed into our digital verification system.

2

Patrol Deployment & Execution

SIA licensed officers in marked vehicles conduct patrols according to the agreed schedule. At each checkpoint, officers scan verification tags and conduct a thorough visual inspection of the surrounding area, documenting their findings with photographs and detailed notes. Any issues or incidents are escalated to our control room immediately.

3

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

You receive real-time notifications for any incidents or vulnerabilities discovered, plus comprehensive monthly reports analysing patrol data, response times, and trends. Regular review meetings with your account manager ensure patrol schedules and procedures are continuously refined based on intelligence and changing risk profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Patrol frequency is entirely flexible and tailored to your needs. Common arrangements include hourly, bi-hourly, or four-hourly patrols, but we can design any schedule to suit your risk profile and budget. Patrols can also be increased during higher-risk periods such as weekends, bank holidays, or following specific incidents.
Static guarding places a dedicated officer on your premises full-time, while mobile patrols involve regular visits by officers covering a planned route of multiple sites. Mobile patrols are significantly more cost-effective for premises that do not require a continuous on-site presence, while still providing a strong deterrent and rapid incident detection. Many clients use a combination of both services for optimal coverage.
Every patrol is verified through GPS tracking and checkpoint scanning technology. Officers must physically scan NFC tags or QR codes at predetermined locations on your premises, creating a tamper-proof digital record of their attendance, exact arrival and departure times, and patrol route. All data is available in real time through our client portal.
If an officer identifies an issue—such as an insecure door, damaged fencing, suspicious activity, or evidence of attempted intrusion—they immediately report it to our 24-hour control room. Depending on the severity, the control room will notify you, contact emergency services, dispatch additional resources, or take other appropriate action as defined in your site-specific response procedures.
Absolutely, and this is one of the most popular service combinations we offer. Patrol officers can carry your premises keys, enabling them to conduct internal inspections during patrols and respond to alarm activations as your nominated key holder. This integrated approach provides comprehensive out-of-hours protection at excellent value.
Yes. Every mobile patrol officer employed by Site Safe Security holds a valid SIA licence and has undergone BS 7858 security screening. Officers also complete our comprehensive in-house training programme covering patrol procedures, incident reporting, conflict management, first aid, and site-specific protocols.
Yes. Construction sites and vacant properties are among the most common premises we patrol. These sites are particularly vulnerable to theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access, making regular mobile patrols an essential security measure. We tailor patrol schedules and checkpoint locations to address the specific risks associated with construction and void property environments.
