We've all see them. Sometimes we even think they're real police cars, until we read "security" or "private patrol". Well... criminals think the same way. Having a well marked and highly visible security vehicle patrolling your residential or commercial property provides an extreme level of deterrence and optimum peace of mind. Patrol officers can investigate signs of wrongdoing, uncover potential dangers, and deter criminal activity. Whether the location being patrolled is large or small, a professional private patrol operator can accommodate the need by using patrol vehicles ranging from motorized golf carts to fully equipped patrol cars with amber light bars and high power spotlights. State and federal laws disallow the use of blue or red lights for private patrol.
Professional Patrol Officer on Duty
A patrol officer's primary duties should include inspecting your property for vandalism, checking for unlocked windows, doors and gates, arming and disarming alarm systems, removing loiterers and deterring crime in general. While the patrol officer is on duty and patrolling they must be alert to potential trouble spots on or about your property, and in the vicinity of their patrol area. The officer should have a checkpoint plan which restricts the use of systematic patrols, as to not allow criminals to pin point an officer's location during a given time of day. The officer must be trained in crime apprehension, as well as residential security service needs. A private patrol officer may be armed, and that will be a matter to discuss with the patrol officer company at the time of hire. Typically hiring an armed patrol officer will cost more. There are certain situation when an armed officer is called for, and then there are those that aren't. Most often however you will uncover that patrol officers are armed. Due to the logistics of job requiring the deployment of patrol vehicles, the requirement of armed officers may also necessary.
