Overview
Protection beyond staffed hours
Checked, secured
and ready for response.
Not every site needs a permanent officer, but empty premises still need oversight. Mobile security provides a flexible deterrent through visible visits, perimeter checks and agreed internal inspections.
Key holding can remove the need for employees to attend alarms alone or outside normal hours. The exact response, access and escalation procedure is documented around the premises and client requirements.
What the service delivers
A visible deterrent.
A defined response.
Visit schedules, checkpoints, authority levels and escalation contacts are agreed so every attendance has a clear purpose.
Safer attendance
Key holding reduces the need for a client employee to respond alone to an out-of-hours alarm.
Recorded checks
Attendance, observations and actions are documented through the agreed reporting route.
Where it fits
Flexible protection
for unoccupied hours.
Suitable where a mobile deterrent and defined response provide a more proportionate solution than a permanent post.

FAQs.
Can patrol times be varied?
Yes. Where appropriate, visits can follow an agreed but varied pattern so they remain less predictable.
What happens when an alarm activates?
The officer attends according to the agreed procedure, checks for signs of an incident and escalates to client contacts or emergency services where required.
How are keys controlled?
Key identification, storage and access arrangements should be agreed in the service plan and aligned with the client’s insurance and security requirements.
