Mobile Patrolling In Progress

Thriving businesses can be a point of pride in your community, but sadly, they can also become the target of thieves and vandals. If you want a cost-effective way to protect your business and the area it is located in, mobile security might be just the service you need.

At YPG Risk, our expert security patrol services can help keep your commercial property safe from harm at all hours of the day and night. We’re going to discuss why this service is so useful for business owners and why it’s the most cost-effective choice for your security needs.

Let’s find out why our mobile patrol security in Melbourne is a great option for you!

What are Mobile Security Patrols?

At YPG Risk, our mobile patrols are performed using our fleet of modern security patrol cars. Each vehicle is fitted with the latest gear, including:

  • Axon dash fleet and monitoring software. This software allows our team to have a live feed of crystal-clear video from all of our vehicles and provide useful visual recordings that can be used later for reporting if needed.
  • Rapid radio systems allow our team to stay in touch with each other as they patrol your business area. We will know exactly where each patrol vehicle is at all times, allowing us to provide your business area with blanket coverage.

Furthermore, our mobile patrol officers use:

  • Axon body cameras to record clear footage that quickly adjusts to changing light conditions when on foot. We will have a clear vision of what each individual patrol officer is seeing and doing at all times.
  • Safariland body armour for protection from weapons like knives and bats, and to keep all our handheld tools secure. Radios, flashlights and first-aid supplies can all be safely housed inside this cutting-edge armour.

By combining the best quality gear with a modern, high-powered fleet, YPG Risk’s mobile patrols can provide all the protection your commercial venture requires.

Our mobile patrol team will work closely with you to determine the best routes our patrol team should cover, how often we need to lap the area near your business premises, and any common trouble areas or signs of suspicious or unlawful activities we need to keep an eye out for. As an expert in what your store has been facing, we’ll make sure to utilise any information you or individuals in the nearby area can give us.

We can also advise you on practices individuals and groups can take to make the area around your business safer for all involved. By implementing these, you can make your commercial area more attractive for shoppers and workers alike, increasing your business and making the area a more enjoyable place to visit!

The Cost-Effective Benefits of Mobile Patrols

Here are three reasons why you can expect excellent cost-effective benefits when using our security patrols in Melbourne.

Mobile Patrols Give You Wider Coverage Quickly

If you want your security patrol to be able to cover a significant area without leaving gaps in your defences, then a mobile patrol is the best way to achieve this. Mobile patrols have increased speed and visibility compared to on-foot patrols and can cover wide distances around your business quickly.

Mobile patrols can be used to cover more than just a single shop–you can enlist them to keep an eye out over shopping strips, large shopping malls and warehouse districts for potential criminal activities. Covering wide areas without a loss in detail is YPG Risk’s speciality, and you can trust our team to keep a protective eye over your area of business at all times.

By opting for mobile security patrol services, you can enjoy cost savings on hiring multiple individual guards and instead enjoy effective moving security that covers your area of business completely.

Mobile Patrol Services Can Respond Fast, Reducing Damages

If something occurs during your business’s patrol shift, a security vehicle can get there much faster than any unit on foot. Whether it’s a suspicious individual loitering nearby, movement on your property’s security camera or reports of a break in, you’ll want individuals who can provide a quick response.

A security patrol using a vehicle will be able to reach the location of an incident occurring in or near your business fast. This immediate response time can mitigate damages to your commercial property, scaring away criminals before potential harm is done or allowing our team to detain them while police make their way to the scene.

By choosing mobile patrol security in Melbourne, you can prevent expensive repairs and alterations that you would otherwise need to pay from a damaged store.

Mobile Patrols Have a Strong Presence, Deterring Potential Offenders

Even if no damage or theft ever occurs at your business, security patrol services can still play an important role in keeping your store or place of work safe through their visible security presence. YPG Risk’s patrol vehicles have a strong deterring aspect and can prevent opportunities for crimes to occur by not giving them a chance to happen in the first place.

Common crimes that involve businesses, like break-ins, vandalism and theft, can only occur when no-one is around to witness them. This means they tend to happen at night, when fewer people are around–luckily, our mobile patrol services can be scheduled for any hour of the day, providing your business with a consistent security presence 24/7.

By deterring crimes before they happen, our security patrols in Melbourne can save you from potential stresses and costs that you would need to spend repairing your business and replacing any stock taken.

The Advantages of Using a Zero-Emission Fleet

At YPG Risk, our zero-emission fleet puts us at a significant advantage over other security companies. Powered by hydrogen, an abundant natural fuel source found in water, plants and manure, our electric patrol cars drive smoothly, quickly and quietly, making them ideal for patrols and rapid responses that won’t disturb your neighbourhood.

With an approximate 650km range, we know we can trust these cars to work as hard as we do while patrolling. And with a quick charge time of 3-5 minutes, we can be back on the road just as fast as a traditional vehicle takes to refuel to deal with any emerging security issues!
