Roving Patrol Security
On-Site Guard With Patrol Vehicle – Best of Both Worlds
Roving patrol combines the benefits of on-site security presence with vehicle patrol coverage. A dedicated guard is stationed at your property with a patrol vehicle, providing both fixed-post security and regular property rounds for comprehensive protection.
What Is Roving Patrol?
Roving patrol places a dedicated security guard at your property with a patrol vehicle. The
guard maintains a central command position (entrance gate, security office, etc.) while
conducting regular vehicle or foot patrols throughout the property. This hybrid approach
provides continuous on-site presence with extensive property coverage.
Continuous On-Site Presence
Unlike mobile patrol, you have a dedicated guard at your property throughout the shift
Extensive Property Coverage
Regular vehicle patrols cover large areas that would be impossible for stationary guard alone
Access Control & Patrol
Guard manages entry points while conducting scheduled rounds
of parking areas and perimeters
Immediate Response
Guard can respond to incidents anywhere on property within
minutes
Visible Deterrence
Marked patrol vehicle parked prominently deters criminal activity, supplemented by regular patrols
Cost-Effective Coverage
More affordable than multiple stationary guards while covering more area than single fixed post
Flexible Coverage
Patrol frequency and areas can be adjusted based on time of day or specific concerns
