Why San Francisco Properties Need Active Security Patrol

Fixed Guard vs. Property Security Patrol
A stationary guard stays at one post. Patrol officers move around your site. This covers more ground for less cost.
Many clients use a hybrid model. They place a fixed guard at the main desk. Then, they use mobile patrols for the perimeter. This approach offers high visibility. It keeps your whole facility safe.
We also handle active multi-site contracts. We offer unified dispatch and consolidated monthly reporting for your entire portfolio.
