What Does Patrol Security Do?
Patrol security officers are generally security staff members who are paid to physically monitor an area, inside or outside, on a regular basis. They may patrol the area on foot, golf cart, or in a security vehicle, depending on the requirements and request of the client. Professional Protection and Investigations’ patrol security officers are trained in the use of firearms and less than lethal deterrents. This provides our patrol security officers with individual security and increases their effectiveness at preventing and deterring criminal acts, such as theft, vandalism, or trespassing. They are constantly on the lookout for suspicious persons, and if one is encountered, then they will confront the person, detain him or her, or escort the individual off the property. They can also contact law enforcement when needed.
Do You Need a Patrol Officer?
Some companies, especially those with extensive facilities that are next to public land or roads, have a real need for ongoing, regular assistance from patrol security officers. Examples of possible businesses that need on-site patrol security include junkyards, marinas, private facilities with outdoor storage, and any business that has high-theft risk items on site, such as expensive machinery or chemical components that could be misused by criminals. Additionally, if your business requires crowd control, whether for a special visitor giving a presentation or a massive sale that is drawing overnight crowds eager to get in the door, having a security officer checking the patrol area on a regular basis can help reduce the risk of interpersonal crime.If you are worried about overnight theft, crowd control, or trespassing by indigent, criminal, or teen populations, then it makes sense to contract with a professional outside company, such as Professional Protection & Investigations, to find the right Houston patrol officer to reduce the risk your business faces. Instead of handling the extensive, expensive process of performing background checks and then training patrol security officers, you can focus on growing and managing your existing business, while knowing that a locally-owned business run by two career law enforcement officers will do all the background and training work. You can rest easy at night knowing that your business is being patrolled, either by a security officer on foot or in a security patrol vehicle. Our staff is focused on the security of your business, its resources, and its staff.
