Darren Baker, Head of Security and Risk Management, Workspace Group
A mobile security patrol is a scheduled or randomised visit by an SIA-licensed officer in a marked vehicle. Officers carry out internal and external checks, inspecting doors, windows, gates and perimeters and deterring intruders. The Keyholding Company delivers patrols through our 200 ACS-accredited partner network covering 99.8% of UK postcodes. A timestamped digital report, including AI-verified photos, is sent after every visit.
How much do mobile security patrols cost?
Mobile patrols are priced per visit, with one officer covering several sites, making them a flexible option at a fraction of the cost of a full-time static guard. Rates depend on the number of visits, site size and location. The Keyholding Company recommends a patrol pattern based on your site’s risk, so you pay for the cover you need, not idle hours.
How many patrols do I need?
There is no standard number; it depends on your site’s risk profile, how the site is used and, in some cases, your insurer, as some policies set a minimum visit frequency. The Keyholding Company reviews your site’s risk to recommend a visit pattern, then scales patrols up or down as that risk changes.
Do mobile patrols reduce crime?
They can, when patrols are visible, unpredictable and part of a wider security plan. Randomised visit times remove the predictability offenders rely on, and a marked vehicle is a visible deterrent. The Keyholding Company’s mobile security patrols helped Workspace Group cut burglaries by 75% over two years. For the strongest results, pair patrols with other security measures suited to your site.
Mobile patrols or static guarding, which is better for my site?
It depends on your risk profile and operational needs. Static guarding suits sites needing constant presence and access control; mobile patrols suit sites needing visible, cost-effective cover at set or random times. Many organisations combine both. The Keyholding Company uses your site data to recommend the right mix for your risk.
