5 Reasons to Choose Mobile Patrol Services for Your Business

Does your business really need to hire a full time guard or is there another option? Over the past year many business in Tacoma have looking for security solutions in response to the uptick in property crimes. However, hiring full time guard service often seems like a drastic and possibly expensive step to protect their assets, employees, and customers. However, there is another option that can be both cost efficient and effective in reducing the threat level to your business. Many business in Tacoma are turning to mobile patrol services for protection. In this blog post, I will look at some of the advantages of mobile patrol services, highlighting their pivotal role in deterring crime and providing rapid responses to security incidents.

Visibility and Deterrence

Mobile patrol officers can do patrols at your facility anywhere from two to eight times per shift depending upon your need. The presence of a security professional creates a visible deterrence for criminals. At Master Security Patrol our officers conduct a full foot patrol each time they check on your business. For night patrols we always use flashlights in order to check any unlit areas and as a way to stay highly visible to any possible criminals.

Rapid Response

Unfortunately, police response times have greatly increased in the Tacoma area in the past 3 years. Nevertheless our mobile patrol services are never more than five minutes away and will respond to any alarms or calls without delay. In the event of an alarm activation or a security breach, Master Security Patrol officers can quickly reach the location, assess the situation, and take immediate action to resolve the issue. This rapid response time is crucial in preventing crimes in progress and minimizing potential damages.

Customized Security Solutions

Mobile patrol services are highly adaptable to the unique needs of Tacoma businesses. For instance, during the longer, darker winter nights, we have the ability to increase our patrol hours making sure that you are covered during high threat times of the night. We work with our customers to create specific patrol routes, schedules, and protocols that will provide maximum effectiveness and security for each unique location. Whether it's regular patrols during non-business hours, special event security, or emergency response services, mobile patrol solutions can be customized to fit your business's exact security needs.

Cost-Effectiveness

Mobile patrols generally cost 40-70% less than having a dedicated guard on post for the whole shift. This makes it a cost-effective security solution for smaller establishments that may not require 24/7 stationary guards. This cost efficiency allows businesses to allocate their budgets effectively, ensuring maximum security coverage without overspending.

Documentation and Reporting

Documentation is a vital part of mobile patrols. Each of our officers is required to document the times of each patrol and anything that is out of the ordinarly. Additionally our guards are equipped with location tracking technology ensuring that their nightly patrols are on point. All of this information is recorded and can be accessed by our clients by request. This detailed reporting not only enhances transparency but also serves as valuable documentation in case of legal proceedings or insurance claims.

In conclusion, mobile patrol services offer Tacoma businesses a proactive and responsive approach to security. By providing a visible deterrent, ensuring rapid responses to security incidents, offering customized solutions, being cost-effective, and maintaining detailed documentation, mobile patrols significantly enhance the overall security of businesses.
