The Benefits of Mobile Patrol

11 Dec The Benefits of Mobile Patrol

Help, As You Need It

There’s a quote attributed to a famous TV performer who said, with a certain degree of self-deprecation, “my job isn’t that important; when there’s an emergency, no one ever shouts ‘quick, call an actor!’” As much as we love our entertainers, a troupe of actors traveling from town to town doesn’t instill any real sense of security. A patrolling guard, on the other hand, can make a real difference when the fat is in the fire.

Security services are judged according to two metrics:

• Can they prevent crimes from happening?
• Can they offer an effective response if crimes do happen?

In many ways, mobile patrols are designed to tackle both of these points, as needed. An armed personal security guard, a patrol car, these things can be a great deterrent for wayward individuals looking to get into trouble, or they can offer a swift response to crimes as they occur. 

For CBI Security, our mobile patrol units are our “boots on the ground,” trained to spot trouble and offer assistance to victims immediately.

What Mobile Patrol Does

Some may wonder how exactly mobile security can accomplish all of this. Isn’t hiring security companies to install alarm systems enough? Of course, alarms and surveillance are key to informing the authorities that something is happening and they can frighten off criminals in some situations but mobile patrols offer something an alarm can’t: a human element.

Let’s look at a few of the biggest benefits of mobile patrols and break down why they’re so critical to our security. 

Patrols Add a Human Element

There’s certainly comfort in knowing that machines are operating to protect us but most people feel safe knowing that a sworn officer is taking personal responsibility for their protection. Air marshals, bodyguards, building security, each serve to put our minds at ease in high-stress environments. Mobile patrols increase that blanket of security to cover the entirety of your property. 

They have the wherewithal to make snap decisions that can save lives and can conduct individuals to safety if the need arises.

Patrols Secure Multiple Locations

Even though we are individuals who can only be in one place at a time, our cares are spread in many different places, from our office to the homes of family members, and beyond. Engaging mobile security services to routinely check each important venue is critical to increasing the safety of the assets at each respective location, be they goods or people.

Another benefit is that mobile security covers blind spots that could otherwise be exploited. CBI Security has the tools and talent to identify the deficiencies of your current security setup and improve them.

Patrols Are a Better Use of Your Money

Here’s a quick query you can answer right now, as you read this: would you rather spend your money replacing rare or treasured items or on a security detail to protect them? 

Vandalism and burglary recovery can run upwards of thousands of dollars to fix the situation, to say nothing of the emotional or business attachments we’ve developed with these assets. Some things simply can’t be fixed the way they were. Mobile patrols represent a little money spent for a lot of money (and heartache) saved.

Patrols Give You Peace of Mind

Each of the aforementioned benefits promotes your physical security but they are also designed to protect your heart and mind from stress. Some entrepreneurs find themselves worried at certain times of the day when they know that criminals are most likely to try and scam them. Likewise, a new parent will have trouble sleeping if they think that their child’s room is in any way not secure during the night.

Mobile patrols help alleviate the pain of high-stress times or locations by putting a personal security guard or two in your corner. It has certainly helped others.
