Services
Mobile Patrols
Our mobile patrols provide scheduled security checks across commercial and industrial premises. Using tamper-proof checkpoint technology, guards conduct timed inspections at irregular intervals to deter crime. Clients receive weekly reports detailing patrol activities and site observations, ensuring comprehensive security coverage for properties requiring periodic monitoring.
Static Guards
SIA-licensed static guards offer continuous on-site security presence for high-risk locations. Uniformed officers control access points, monitor premises, and enforce security protocols 24/7. This service provides active deterrence against theft and vandalism while offering additional support for site management and emergency response.
Key Holding
Secure key holding enables rapid response to alarm activations without disturbing clients. Trained officers access premises during emergencies, liaise with authorities, and secure sites. This service eliminates staff safety risks and liability concerns while providing 24/7 protection for commercial properties.
