Mobile Security Patrol
Overview
We recognise that having a full time security presence can be costly to your business. Reduce the dependency on static security through the use of mobile patrol security. Our officers open and lock-up your buildings, patrol premises out-of-hours, carry out lone worker checks and conduct vacant property inspections. This service is flexible to meet your needs and can also incorporate building maintenance checks. We provide clear visible evidence of all internal and external mobile patrols using the latest GPS handheld technology, including patrol scheduling, digital timestamps, mobile incident reporting, incident status updates and compliance with working time directives. All our officers are directly employed and carry verified SIA licenses. They have passed CRB checks, right to work checks, English language tests and completed comprehensive training, including First Aid. They are protected by our 24/7 control room who check on their status and can be alerted to any incidents or emergencies. Vigilant Security Services participates in various BusinessWatch schemes throughout the UK, reporting any suspicious activity observed by our mobile security patrols.

Frequently Asked Questions
What manned guarding services do you provide?
We provide temporary and permanent static and mobile security officers throughout the UK and Ireland, including static guarding, mobile patrols, door supervision and front-of-house duties, all delivered by SIA-licensed, BS7858-vetted officers.
Are your security guards vetted?
Yes. Every Vigilant security officer undergoes a full five-year screening process to BS7858 before commencing operational duties, so you receive thoroughly vetted, reliable personnel.
Can you cover short-notice or emergency guarding requirements?
Yes. We keep an experienced team of reserve officers on hand specifically to provide emergency cover and to support new contracts where stability and experience are essential from day one.
What is the difference between static and mobile security?
Static security places a dedicated officer at a fixed location to control access and deter threats on site, while mobile patrols cover one or more sites at scheduled or random intervals. Many clients combine both for full coverage.
Do your guards have customer service training?
Yes. Our officers are trained in customer service alongside their security duties, so they protect your premises while representing your organisation professionally at reception and front of house.
