West Bromwich Mobile Security Patrols for Out of Hours Closure Explained

Never thought about using mobile security patrols during periods when your business closes (for example, at Christmas)? Why not? The thing is, businesses need a different approach to security planning when temporarily shutting up shop. This is because unattended industrial premises, construction sites, retail premises and council buildings are at increased risk, from theft and vandalism to trespassing.

Similarly, the threat extends beyond holidays closures to night time patrols during the hours West Bromwich businesses are closed on Monday to Fridays, weekends, and bank holidays.

You only need look at the sombre picture painted by data and geographical information analysts CrimeRate in their Crime and Safety in West Bromwich article. According to their latest data:

“West Bromwich is the most dangerous major town in the West Midlands, and is among the top 20 most dangerous overall out of the West Midlands's 44 towns, villages, and cities. This compares poorly to the West Midlands's overall crime rate, coming in 23% higher than the West Midlands rate. For England, Wales, and Northern Ireland as a whole, West Bromwich is among the top 20 most dangerous major towns.”

For all these reasons, Birmingham, Walsall, Dudley, and Wolverhampton business owners are reaching out to professional site security services for help with commercial property security during both holiday and routine closures.

And mobile security patrols are considered the most proactive and effective service.

Why are Mobile Security Patrols the Number One Choice for When Businesses are Closed?

Mobile security patrols are a dynamic way to safeguard your property, because a mobile patrol officer regularly moves across your premises, unlike a static guard stationed in one location. As a result, a mobile security guard can constantly check for vulnerabilities, ensure the perimeter is secure, and act as a visible deterrent to potential intruders.

Additionally, mobile site security services cover more ground in less time than patrolling on foot, leaving no corner of your property to chance.

Take the example of the Dynamic Security Services’ client in Wednesbury, a 10-minute drive from West Bromwich. They faced heightened security concerns over the Christmas and New Year period when their premises closes for 10 days and turned to us for expert security planning and implementation.

We responded with key holding services and two nightly mobile security patrols to keep the site secure, check for damages, and prevent unauthorised access:

• Early evening 6.00pm – midnight
• Early hours – midnight – 6.00am

Key Benefits You’ll Experience with Mobile Site Security Services

Besides the obvious benefits of mobile commercial property security, there are also more tacit advantages, including:

• Tailored security - Every business has unique security needs. Accordingly, mobile patrols and security key holders are fully customisable to meet your unique requirements, from specific patrol timings to targeted inspections for perimeter breaches, fly-tipping, and fire hazards.
• Cost-effectiveness - Security incidents can result in hefty financial losses, from repair costs to stolen inventory or equipment. So, investment in mobile security patrols is a small price to pay to curb the likelihood of such incidents. Correspondingly, it represented exceptional value for money for the Wednesbury client, mitigating potential headaches and expenses.
• Rapid response - Time is critical in emergencies and every mobile patrol officer at Dynamic Security Services is trained to respond swiftly to alarms, CCTV activations, or on-site incidents. As a result, damages are minimised and issues addressed quickly and professionally, before they escalate.
• Peace of mind - Above all, mobile security patrols give you peace of mind without the constant worry of security threats, knowing your business is regularly monitored by industry professionals. The Wednesbury client even received a daily pdf report, including date-stamped pictures taken by a mobile patrol officer, reassuring them their premises were in safe hands.
