Mobile security patrols
Mobile security patrols
Marked patrol vehicles making scheduled and random visits to your premises across the UK — checking the perimeter, locking up and unlocking, and responding to alarms. Every checkpoint is QR- and GPS-verified, so you can prove each patrol happened without paying for full-time static cover.
How patrols work
Visible deterrence, on a pattern no one can predict
Our mobile patrol officers visit your site in clearly marked vehicles, combining scheduled visits at agreed times with randomised visits in between — so anyone watching can't learn the routine and time their approach. Each visit covers the perimeter, access points, gates and any vulnerable areas you flag.
Because one officer can cover several locations across a shift, mobile patrols are a cost-effective way to protect larger, remote and multi-site premises — industrial estates, business parks, construction sites and vacant property. We also handle daily lock-up and unlock and open/close routines, and provide first response to intruder, fire and lock/unlock alarms.

Tech-enabled
Proof every patrol happened
A patrol is only worth paying for if you can prove it took place. Our officers evidence each visit as it happens, so you get an auditable record rather than a signature on a sheet.
QR & GPS checkpoints
Officers confirm each checkpoint with a QR scan backed by GPS, proving the right areas were covered on every visit.
Geofenced arrivals
Arrival and departure are detected by geofence, so the time spent on your site is recorded, not estimated.
Timestamped logs
Every visit is time- and location-stamped in the TechGuard app, building an auditable patrol history you can share.
Photo evidence
Officers capture photos of issues and incidents in the app, attached to the patrol log for insurers and stakeholders.
Lone-worker safety
Officers protected while working alone
Mobile patrols are often a one-officer job, so keeping our people safe is built in. Automated welfare check-ins confirm each officer is well throughout the shift, and a panic alarm linked to our 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) console means an alert — or a missed check — is escalated to our control room immediately.
Mobile patrol FAQs
How do mobile patrols differ from static guarding?
A mobile patrol officer visits your site on a scheduled and randomised pattern rather than staying on site the whole time, so one officer can cover several locations across a shift. It gives a visible deterrent and regular checks at a fraction of the cost of full-time static guarding — ideal for larger, remote or multi-site premises.
How do you prove a patrol was completed?
Officers confirm each checkpoint with a QR scan and GPS, and arrivals are geofenced, so every visit is timestamped and location-stamped in the TechGuard app. You get an auditable log with photo evidence rather than a tick-box sheet.
Can you respond to alarms out of hours?
Yes. Our mobile patrol officers provide first response to intruder, fire and lock/unlock alarms around the clock, coordinated through our 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) console, including lock-up and unlock at the start and end of the working day.
Are patrol officers kept safe when working alone?
Yes. Solo patrol officers run automated welfare check-ins and carry a panic alarm linked to our ARC console, so a missed check or an alert is escalated to our control room immediately.
