FAQs
A mobile security patrol is a scheduled or randomised visit by an SIA-licensed officer in a marked vehicle. Officers carry out internal and external checks, inspecting doors, windows, gates and perimeters and deterring intruders. A timestamped digital report, including AI-verified photos, is sent after every visit.
Mobile patrols are priced per visit, with one officer covering several sites, making them a flexible option at a fraction of the cost of a full-time static guard. Rates depend on the number of visits, site size and location. Forcefield recommends a patrol pattern based on your site’s risk, so you pay for the cover you need, not idle hours.
There is no standard number; it depends on your site’s risk profile, how the site is used and, in some cases, your insurer, as some policies set a minimum visit frequency. Forcefield reviews your site’s risk to recommend a visit pattern, then scales patrols up or down as that risk changes.
They can, when patrols are visible, unpredictable and part of a wider security plan. Randomised visit times remove the predictability offenders rely on, and a marked vehicle is a visible deterrent. Forcefield’s mobile security patrols helped Workspace Group cut burglaries by 75% over two years. For the strongest results, pair patrols with other security measures suited to your site.
It depends on your risk profile and operational needs. Static guarding suits sites needing constant presence and access control; mobile patrols suit sites needing visible, cost-effective cover at set or random times. Many organisations combine both. Forcefield uses your site data to recommend the right mix for your risk.
A timestamped digital report, including imagery verified for authenticity and accuracy by AI, is sent after every visit. You can also check reports and analyse job data on our platform, without picking up the phone or sending an email.
Yes. For the strongest results, pair patrols with other security measures suited to your site, such as keyholding, so your keys are stored securely, and alarm response, so an officer attends when an alarm activates.
