Expert Mobile Security Patrols

Mobile patrols are seen by many as the future of security, thanks to the many benefits that they offer. Increased mobility, advanced recording and monitoring technology, and fast responses when needed are some of the hallmarks of our mobile patrol security in Melbourne.

Here are some cases where mobile security patrols can help!

You Own a Small Business

Do you own a single shop that is situated on a road? Stores located on busy strips and streets get a lot of passing foot traffic, which can be great for business but may also leave you vulnerable to thieves or vandals looking for a quick and easy target.

A roaming mobile patrol can have eyes on not just your store, but all the shops and properties surrounding it. We can keep an eye out for suspicious activity, not just at your store but all around the block, and our constant patrolling means we provide a visible deterrent to anyone looking to cause trouble.

By keeping your commercial space (and the ones around it) safe, we can help attract new customers to the area and help the ones already shopping with you feel more comfortable as they pursue your wares or services.

You Live in an Unsafe Neighbourhood

Is your local community not as safe and peaceful as you’d like? Whether it’s loitering, burglaries, or vandalism, it doesn’t take much to make you feel uncomfortable in your own home.

Our community security patrols can help entire neighbourhoods become more secure by disincentivising antisocial behaviours in commonly targeted areas like parks, schools, and sporting fields at night.

Not only does our trademark fleet make it obvious that we are in the area, but it also gives us the speed and flexibility to respond should something happen.

We will work in tandem with you and other community leaders to develop a plan to help keep you and your neighbours safe. We encourage you to come to us with any concerns or information you have, so we can design an effective patrol route and to help us know any problem areas and activities to look out for during our residential security patrols.

Professional Stationary Security Personnel

Stationary security guard services are what many think of when they hear about security firms, and security guards still play a very important role in keeping homes, businesses, and individuals safe.

Here are a few instances where static security personnel are the smart choice!

You Own a Store Inside a Shopping Centre

Businesses located inside major shopping centres won’t have much use for security guards using cars! Instead, stationary security guards can provide a visible presence at the entryway and even inside shops that sell valuable items like jewellery, clothing, handbags and shoes.

Their visibility of security guard services can deter most antisocial behaviours, and having guards close by can make both shoppers and staff feel safer knowing that help is literally only a few metres away if needed.

Professional security will often work with the property’s in-built security teams and systems to help them provide a highly-effective service that takes advantage of cameras, security gates, and other security personnel in the building.

You are Hosting an Event Inside a Singular Location

Event security is a speciality of YPG Risk, and our stationary security guards in Melbourne can provide a number of useful services to event managers and partygoers alike.

This includes the incredibly important crowd control security, which involves helping large numbers of people move around and enjoy your event safely, without the threat of crowd crushes and stampeding.

Stationary security guards can prevent gatecrashers and other undesirables from entering events they aren’t invited to, as well as provide bodyguard services for VIPs at your event. Quality security guards, like those from YPG Risk, will make sure they know the layout of your event space and what security measures are already in place, to help them provide the best event security possible.

Choosing Your Security Service

Now, how do you choose between a stationary or mobile security patrol? Here are the points you need to consider:

• How large is the area I need protected?
• Is the person or area I want protected needing one-off protection, or constant security?
• Do I want my security to be visible to others?
• What kinds of antisocial behaviour am I looking to deter?

This table may help you find the answer:

	Stationary Security Guards	Mobile Security Patrol Services
Area size	Better for small areas, like single properties or individuals	Suitable for large areas, like blocks, shopping strips, or entire communities
Protection timeframe	Good for one-off events, although constant protection for small shops is also possible	Good for areas needing protection for weeks at a time, like suburbs or a collection of stores
Visibility	Highly visible, but only in small areas	Highly visible across large areas
Services needed	Better for preventing thefts, servicing events, and for bodyguard hire	Better for large areas and shopping centres facing loitering and vandalism.

If you still aren’t sure what type of security will be best for your needs, please get in touch with YPG Risk–we’ll be happy to go through the services we offer to help you find the right one for your situation.
