Security Guard vs Mobile Patrol: What is the Difference?

Understand when to use static guarding and when mobile patrols are more suitable.

A security guard is based on site and provides a constant physical presence. This is useful for higher-risk sites, access control and active monitoring.

A mobile patrol visits a site at agreed times or random intervals. This is often more cost-effective for vacant properties, car parks and lower-risk premises.

The right option depends on risk level, budget, opening hours and the value of what needs protecting.
