What’s at risk
A security presence only works if it’s seen and felt, but maintaining full-time, on-site guarding is a significant and often unjustifiable expense. Without that visible deterrent, sites can quickly become easy targets for opportunistic crime, vandalism, and unauthorised access, particularly outside of working hours.
Mobile Patrols help fill that gap, but inconsistent or poorly managed services can create a false sense of security. Irregular visits, predictable patterns, or untrained personnel reduce their effectiveness and leave sites exposed when it matters most. Incidents may go unnoticed until damage is done, turning what should be a preventative measure into a reactive response with costly consequences.
How we help
Securitas Mobile Patrols provide a visible, professional security presence without the cost of full-time guarding. SIA-trained, uniformed officers conduct patrols tailored to your exact requirements, with flexible scheduling to suit your site’s risk profile. Branded, satellite-tracked vehicles ensure every visit is accountable, while acting as a strong deterrent to potential intruders.
Our service delivers visibility as well as actionable insight. Detailed patrol reports, including photographs and risk assessments, give you full transparency and highlight vulnerabilities and safety hazards before they escalate. From securing sites outside operational hours to reinforcing protection in higher-risk situations, Securitas helps you stay protected, compliant, and one step ahead, whether you have one site or multiple locations and often at a lower cost than traditional on-site guarding.
In action
Bel Valves faced escalating security costs at their manufacturing facility in Newcastle. Relying solely on manned guarding was financially unsustainable, yet the site required robust protection across its perimeter and vulnerable access points. The challenge was to maintain or improve security while dramatically reducing operational costs.
Securitas implemented an integrated solution combining remote CCTV Monitoring with scheduled Mobile Patrols and Keyholding services. Rather than paying for a continuous on-site presence, mobile officers conduct regular night-time inspections, respond to alarm activations detected by the Operations Centre, and provide visible deterrence during high-risk periods. The result? Approximately 80% cost reduction while eliminating security blind spots.
