It is integral for any business to sustain growth by keeping its employees, customers, and valuable property safe from any crime. Regardless of business owners investing huge amounts of money for security measures (CCTV, Security lights, fences, etc.) to prevent crimes from occurring, it does not make the property 100% safe. Therefore, hiring a professional and trusted security service company is the best step to protect your business from becoming the next victim of theft, vandalism, or burglaries. 

Here is how regular security patrol service can provide protection, especially if your business property has these elements: 

1. Multiple entries and exits 

Usually, businesses have many entrances and exits, making it an easy target for unauthorized people to carry out criminal activities. This is why simply installing CCTV cameras isn’t going to make your building completely secure. On the ground, a security officer can cover all entrances and exits and monitor the exterior of the premises, such as windows and HVAC ducts, by doing mobile patrolling. Even though CCTV is a good way to keep the thieves at bay, patrol service acts as a backbone of the security plan of your property. 

2. Big parking lot 

Parking lots are among the top places where usually crimes occur. Being empty and dark makes a large parking lot or multiple-level basement parking lots ideal for criminals to carry out their tasks. Crimes at the parking lots can occur at any time, but it is most often to occur at busy times when your employees are busy working or your customers patronizing your business. These crimes may also be heightened at night as unauthorized parties may think the premises are left unattended. Hiring a security patrol service will ensure every part of your parking lot is well guarded. It helps your business run smoothly through the night or day by keeping all your employees, vendors, and customers safe. 

3. High local crime rate 

Keep an eye on crime rates around your property. If there is a spike in crime rates near you, then there is a high chance your property is their next target. Employing our security patrol service will create a positive atmosphere for your customers and employees and boost the safety of your business. Having security guards patrolling the place will be a visual and physical deterrent to criminals that could make them reconsider targeting your business.
