As For Standing Guards it is mainly divided into two different parts that is Armed Security and Unarmed Security. The Main Difference between armed and unarmed security is that one of them is allowed to carry weapons. Both are standing security and have the same duties that they need to perform. These duties may be guarding entries and exits or patrolling the area.
Mobile Security Patrols Are more efficient when compared to the standing security. There are some main differences between these two that are:
- Alertness
Staying vigilant 100% of the time is a difficult job, and for some, staying awake is a nightly battle. A mobile patrol doesn’t allow time to fall asleep because the officer is constantly patrolling. Staying in one location leads to officer fatigue and even sleep. Both the Standing Guards and the Mobile Patrol are very alert.
- GPS Tracking
Do you ever wonder where the security is located? Signal 88 Security mobile patrol uses GPS to track the officer’s location. Clients know where their security personnel are at all times.
- Visible Presence
It is imperative that security is easily identifiable. A mobile patrol demonstrates a strong visible deterrence with flashing lights, and branded vehicles, and consistent movement throughout your property.
- Economical Cost
A mobile patrol service provides you a security presence all night long and a cost much less than a traditional. It is called “dedicated” security service.
- No Idle Time
Mobile patrols eliminate idle time because the officer is always on the move, actively patrolling.
- When Friendly Becomes Friendship
During a mobile patrol, officers have enough time to be knowledgeable and friendly. But not enough time to develop friendships, which can skew judgement.
- Quality of Candidate
A mobile patrol security officer has a lot more responsibility driving a company vehicle. Officers working in an active, mobile patrol require more training and skill.
- Actively Patrolling
A patrol security officer is more likely to hear, see, or smell something going on. Officers who are restrained to one property may become tired of circling a single property.
- Unauthorized Activities
During a mobile patrol the GPS alerts and internal vehicle cameras will monitor an officer’s activity. This approach is a shift away from the industry standard of sending a supervisor around to check on guards.
- Quick Response
Mobile patrol security officers can respond quickly because they are mobile. This is a huge benefit to communities of all sizes. It only takes a couple minutes to respond in a car an officer is already driving. With multiple vehicles patrolling the area, quick response time is vital to deterring crime and disturbances.
