When choosing between Mobile Patrols and On-site Security Guards for your property in Vancouver, the decision typically depends on your specific risk profile, property size, and budget. Both options utilize our team of over 100 professional licensed security guards and provide 24/7 coverage.

Mobile Patrol Services

Pros:

• Cost-Effectiveness: These services offer a budget-friendly alternative for low-risk sites, such as certain construction projects or smaller residential buildings, where a constant presence may not be necessary.
• Broad Coverage: Our mobile security patrol units use randomized routes and variable visit frequencies to monitor large parking lots, remote perimeters, and multiple entry points across the Lower Mainland.
• Rapid Response: When integrated with our 24/7 monitoring center, patrol units can be dispatched immediately to intervene during alarm signals.

Cons:

• Intermittent Presence: Unlike a dedicated guard, mobile units are only on-site for scheduled or randomized checks, meaning they are not physically present at all times to address immediate tenant needs or walk-in inquiries.

Static (On-site) Guards

Pros:

• Constant Vigilance: Static guards provide an uninterrupted on-site presence, which acts as a powerful visible deterrent and allows for immediate incident response.
• Specialized Roles: We can assign guards to specific duties, such as Concierge Services for strata buildings or Hotel Security, providing a high level of customer interaction.
• Centralized Control: On-site guards can manage Access Control Systems and Live CCTV Monitoring from a single workstation, creating a layered defense.

Cons:

• Higher Operational Cost: Because this requires a dedicated staff member to remain at your location, it is generally a larger investment than roving patrol services.
