Why You Should Choose Mobile Security Guards

Security is one area that all firms have to think about and it covers quite a few areas. These days,with all the headlines,IT security is often at the forefront of the mind,but there is the matter of physical security too. The cost of having on site,full time security patrols are often out of the question for most small and medium sized firms and in these instances mobile security patrols can be the answer for you,your employees,and your customers.

Here are 3 reasons that mobile security patrols can be the answer to your security issues:-

1. A Huge Deterrent

Mobile security patrols are just that,mobile,and this means that unlike static guards,they can cover multiple areas over a period of time,and yet can also visit the same zone many times too. Add in the feature of not doing this in a routine manner (varying the times of each check) and you get a highly effective deterrent. With most criminal activity being typically opportunistic,many perpetrators having spotted that security patrols are carrying out regular spot checks are very likely to move on to an easier target. Besides this,they can also move very quickly when the alarm is raised or one is triggered,thus leaving thieves with less time to escape. These fast response times also give any employees that may be in danger,a greater sense of security and increase their sense of wellbeing,this being vital in the case of ‘lone workers’.

2. A Huge Variety of Checks

Static guards normally just carry out security checks within the business premises,or on the periphery,for instance at the gates. On the other hand mobile security patrols can carry out a much wider number of external checks. This allows protection for areas that are not covered by CCTV cameras. Therefore they can check for signs of a forced entry on the perimeter fence,whilst also checking for vandalisms or graffiti. Plus of course they can also keep an eye out for any suspicious activity within the vicinity of the premises.

3. They Are Cost Effectiveness

Some businesses may simply not be able to afford a full time security guard to protect their business,premises,or property. In these instances mobile security patrols offer a highly cost-effective solution. This is easy to understand as unlike static on-site patrols who have to be paid all the time they are working,mobile security patrol companies only charge for the time spent actually patrolling a premises. Of course,this means that you will not have a full time security presence,but given the fact that such patrols can cover such a big area,and that the frequency of how often they check is really down to you (and your budget) means that it can really be just what is required.

Conclusion

So,if you are considering your firms security,or if you have always asked yourself “why should I choose to use mobile security patrols?”,you now have 3 compelling reasons to take this path. All you need to do is find the right security company to provide the necessary level of service,one that fully meets your firms needs and is one that is within your budget.
