Security Patrol Services
Drive through security patrols serve a limited, but useful purpose. By definition, the drive through patrol service does not remain on site and generally uses a vehicle to make the rounds. This type of patrol is less expensive than a dedicated on-site security guard because of the limited time spent on the property. Highly visible, drive through private security companies are ideal for the patrol of commercial properties after business hours or on private property not open to the public.
One purpose of this type of patrol is to observe (or test) all accessible gates, doors, and windows and make sure they are secured, and to report the conditions found on the property to the business owner or the police. Another purpose is to make sure no unauthorized persons are trespassing on private property. The primary goal of a drive through security patrol service is to deter property loss and discover vandalism after business hours.
By design, drive-through security patrols are highly visible. The security vehicles are well marked and equipped with a strobe on the dash and high powered spotlights. The high visibility maximizes the deterrent effect. Uniformed security officers provide a much needed and useful purpose for many businesses. By having a stationary officer roving on site, security hazards can be identified quickly thus reducing the costs associated as a result of fire or flood. Foot patrol officers have the ability to patrol areas that are not accessible by vehicle. Foot patrol officers are also very approachable for the public. The benefits of having a foot patrol officer on a property are vast.
