When it comes to securing your property, choosing the right type of security service is essential. Not all businesses or sites have the same needs, and understanding the differences between mobile patrols and static (manned) security can help you make an informed decision that fits both your budget and risk level.
At STONEGATE FM LTD, we offer both services—each with its own strengths—designed to protect what matters most to you.
What Are Mobile Patrols?
Mobile patrols involve trained security officers conducting scheduled or random checks of your property using marked vehicles. These patrols can cover multiple sites or large areas, making them ideal for business parks, construction sites, warehouses, and vacant properties.
Benefits of Mobile Patrols:
- Cost-effective coverage over wide areas
- High visibility to deter crime
- Quick incident response
- Flexible scheduling (day/night/random)
What Is Static Security?
Static security refers to having a dedicated guard stationed at a fixed location, such as a reception desk, entrance, or security booth. These guards are responsible for access control, surveillance, incident response, and providing customer service.
Benefits of Static Security:
- Constant on-site presence
- Immediate response to incidents
- Ideal for high-traffic areas
- Acts as both a deterrent and point of contact
Which One Is Right for You?
- Choose mobile patrols if you need periodic checks across a large or low-risk site, or want security visibility without the cost of a full-time guard.
- Choose static security if your location demands constant supervision, high foot traffic control, or immediate on-site action.
For many clients, a combined approach is the best solution—using mobile patrols after hours and static guards during operational hours for full coverage.
