Mobile Security Patrols

Visible Deterrence, Intelligent Protection

You cannot be at your business premises 24 hours a day, but Force8 can be. For businesses that do not require a permanent security guard but still need a robust security presence, Mobile Patrols offer the perfect balance of protection and cost-efficiency.

Serving clients across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire, our high-visibility patrol vehicles act as a powerful warning to potential criminals that your site is watched, protected, and under Force8 jurisdiction.

How Mobile Patrols Work

Unlike static guarding, mobile patrols are dynamic. Our uniformed officers visit your site at random intervals agreed within your contract. This randomization is key—criminals cannot predict when security will arrive, making your site a high-risk target for them to attempt to breach.

During each visit, our officer performs a comprehensive check:

• Perimeter Inspection: Checking fences, gates, and windows for signs of tampering.
• External Sweep: Looking for vehicles, persons, or objects that shouldn't be there.
• Internal Patrols: (If requested) Entering the building to check sensitive areas, server rooms, or ensure equipment is turned off.
• Tagging System: We use electronic checkpoints (NFC tags) positioned around your site. When the officer scans a tag, it logs their location and time, providing you with undeniable proof of attendance.

More Than Just Security Checks

Force8 Mobile Patrols deliver added value through facility support tasks:

• Health & Safety Checks: Identifying trip hazards, blocked fire exits, or leaking pipes.
• Locking & Unlocking: We can combine patrols with opening your gates in the morning and securing them at night.
• Lone Worker Welfare: If you have staff working late, we can schedule a patrol to check on their safety and escort them to their cars.

Immediate Incident Response

If a patrol officer discovers a break-in or vandalism:

1. They retreat to a safe distance and alert the Control Room.
2. Police and the client (you) are notified immediately.
3. The officer remains on-site to preserve evidence and secure the building until help arrives.
4. We can arrange emergency boarding up to re-secure the site before leaving.
