Mobile Patrol Security Services

A mobile patrol officer conducts scheduled or random security patrols of designated properties, typically using a marked vehicle. Their duties include checking doors, windows, and gates; monitoring for suspicious activity; responding to alarms; documenting incidents; and performing welfare checks or lock/unlock services. They serve as a visible deterrent to crime and a rapid-response presence when issues arise.

Patrols are scheduled based on your needs. At Brown Private Investigations, our plans start with a minimum of two patrols per day, but we can increase frequency for high-risk properties or during specific time windows. Patrols can also be randomized to avoid predictability.

Yes. We build every patrol plan around your property’s unique requirements. You can choose specific times, days, routes, and checkpoints—or opt for randomized patrols to increase unpredictability. Our goal is to provide visible protection without disruption to your operations or residents.

After each patrol, our officers file digital reports using encrypted mobile systems. These reports include time-stamped photos, notes on anything observed, and confirmation of checkpoint completion. Reports are delivered to you immediately via email or secure dashboard access—keeping you informed without the guesswork.

Mobile patrol officers move between properties or patrol within large properties using a vehicle or on foot, offering flexible, wide-range coverage. Static security guards stay stationed in one place, typically at an entrance, gatehouse, or lobby, to monitor access and provide constant presence.

Yes. The visible presence of a patrol vehicle deters trespassers, vandals, and thieves. Combined with randomized patrols and real-time reporting, mobile patrols serve as a proactive layer of defense, especially in areas where full-time static security may not be practical.

Mobile patrol security is widely used across industries, including:

• Residential communities & HOAs
• Commercial retail centers
• Construction sites
• Industrial parks
• Educational institutions
• Healthcare facilities
• Event venues
  These services are ideal for any location needing a flexible and cost-effective security presence.

Costs vary depending on patrol frequency, service hours, location size, and special requirements (e.g., K9 units, alarm response). It’s best to request a quote for your specific property needs.

This depends on the company and the laws in your state. Some mobile patrol officers are licensed to carry firearms or non-lethal tools (like batons or pepper spray), while others are unarmed. Always confirm with the provider what level of force or deterrence their patrols include.

Yes. Many providers offer 24/7 patrol services, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Schedules can be fully customized to ensure around-the-clock protection when your property is most vulnerable.

Absolutely. Most mobile patrol services include alarm response. If your property alarm is triggered, the patrol officer will respond, assess the situation, and notify law enforcement or emergency services if needed—often faster than traditional dispatch.

Mobile patrol officers are private security personnel and do not have arrest powers like police officers. However, they serve as a visible deterrent, document incidents, and act as first responders to suspicious activity—often collaborating with local police when necessary.
