Security is a top priority for businesses of all shapes and sizes
Protecting your assets, employees, and property is essential, and the choice between mobile security patrols and static security guards can significantly impact the safety and security of your premises. At Northern Districts Security, we understand the importance of this decision, and in this article we’ll explain the differences between these two different approaches to security to help you determine which is the best fit for your business.
Mobile Security Patrols: Vigilant, Mobile, and Dynamic
Mobile security patrols offer a dynamic approach to security that involves fast-response teams in patrol vehicles. These teams are equipped to cover a wider range of ground, making them a great choice for businesses with extensive properties or those that require frequent and unpredictable security checks. Here’s why mobile security patrols might be the right choice for your Northland business:
- Vigilance in Transit
Mobile security patrol vehicles are always on the move. Their constant, unpredictable presence serves as a visible deterrent to potential criminals. Knowing that security is active, difficult to predict, and mobile discourages unlawful activities, making your property a less attractive target for theft or vandalism.
- Rapid Response
Mobile patrols are designed for quick response to situations. If an incident occurs and a alarm is triggered, the patrol team can swiftly reach the location and take immediate action, which minimises the potential for damage or loss.
- Tailored Security Plans
When you partner with Northern Districts Security, we work with you to create a security plan tailored to your specific needs. This ensures that the mobile patrols cover the areas most vulnerable to threats, providing a customised security solution to suit your Northland business.
- Comprehensive Record-Keeping
Our mobile patrol officers use electronic clocking/location tokens placed at key points during their patrols. This technology provides a complete record of the timing and areas covered, giving you peace of mind that security patrols are carried out to your exact specifications.
Static Security Guards: Reliable and Visible
On the other hand, static security guards offer a fixed security presence at specific areas of your business. They’re a reassuring and constant presence, making them an excellent choice for locations where a consistent and visible security deterrent is required. Here’s why static security guards might be the right fit for your business:
- Deterrence and Immediate Response
Static security guards act as visible deterrents to potential threats. Their presence alone can discourage criminal activity, and they are immediately available to respond to any incidents that may occur.
- Enhanced Employee and Client Safety
Having security guards on-site can significantly reduce the likelihood of theft or other criminal activities. This visible security presence creates a safer and more favourable atmosphere for employees and clients, contributing to a positive work environment.
- Specialised Security Needs
Different businesses have varying security requirements. Static security guards can be assigned to specific areas, such as key entrances and exits, to monitor and prevent threats and malicious activities.
- Customer-Centric Services
For businesses that require customer-centric security services, such as site security, loss prevention, and business monitoring, static security guards provide a tailored and customer-focused solution
