As a business owner, there are many factors you’ll need to consider if you want your company to be successful. Advertising, interior design, branding, the quality of your products, and how your staff are trained to interact with customers are just some of the most notable.

But what about security? And we mean more than just cameras to help prevent thefts–we’re talking about making sure your customers and staff feel safe while they’re in and around your store. Many commercial properties can actually benefit from more substantial security measures, especially when it comes to mobile patrols.

YPG Risk can perform mobile security patrols for businesses across Melbourne. Here are some of the advantages these patrols can offer you and your business!

What are Mobile Security Patrols?

Mobile security patrols involve security guards using vehicles to inspect and safeguard a specific area. They’re not as immediately obvious as stationary security guards standing outside a store, but they still have a visible presence that covers a wide space around your business.

Mobile security patrols can:

• Sit parked in a specific spot
• Travel up and down a street
• Do laps around a block or two of buildings

Depending on the size of the area you want to cover. You can customise the times at which the team will patrol, how far they go and any insights you think they should watch out for, like particularly suspicious areas or activities.

If you need a mobile patrol in Clayton, Brighton or Dandenong for your business, YPG Risk can oblige.

The Advantages of Mobile Patrol Security For Melbourne Businesses

Decided to take advantage of our mobile patrol security service in Melbourne? These are the advantages on offer!

Faster Reaction Times

If there is trouble in or around your premises, you can bet there is a patrol car from our fleet nearby, ready to help. Even if we’re at the furthest point in our patrol route from your business, our vehicles allow us to get straight back to your location in a flash.

Our vehicles are modern and powerful, allowing us to react quickly to alerts in the area and make our way to wherever we’re needed the most.

More Consistent Presence Over a Large Area

Are you based on a busy road with many different shops and other businesses? That’s no problem for our mobile patrol team! Using patrol vehicles instead of on-foot officers, our security guards can maintain a constant presence around your business, even over larger areas.

Our patrol vehicles bear the YPG logo and bold colouring to make them obvious, and this is for good reason. Rather than trying to hide and catch criminals in the act, our patrol team acts as a deterrent to anti-social behaviour and prevents it from occurring in the first place.

Real Time Monitoring

Our patrol vehicles and officers carry advanced equipment that allows us to monitor and record what is happening in and around your business in real time. Using technology from brands like Axon and Rapid, we can communicate clearly and record what we come across in high-quality, smooth vision, so you know exactly what, where and when we come across anything in our patrols.

Our vehicles also utilise Axon Fleet 3: Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), which uses a dual-view camera with a 4K image sensor and smart number plate-reading software to help it record and process license plates. It can do this across three lanes of traffic, at distances of up to 50 ft and at speeds of up to over 220 km an hour!

The sensors can also be customised to take in a wider field of view to help patrol areas like car parks, or roadside petrol stations and rest-stops.

Community Safety/Engagement

One of the best things about a professional mobile patrol is the sense of security it can bring to local communities. The constant visible presence of patrol cars does more than just deter crime–it provides residents and shoppers with the reassurance that professional security is nearby if needed.

At YPG Risk, we also provide Community Security through our Community Response Team (CRT). By collaborating with local residents and businesses in your area, we can target problem areas and provide community safety briefings and workshops to help people learn how to protect themselves–so you stay safe long after our job is complete.

Net Zero Emissions

You might worry about the impact that a mobile patrol fleet could have on the environment, as, according to the Green Vehicle Guide, traditional petrol cars emit:

• Carbon monoxide (CO)
• Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
• Particulate matter (PM)
• Volatile organic compounds (VOC)

Luckily, you don’t need to worry about these dangers when you choose YPG Risk for your mobile patrol security in Melbourne. Our hydrogen-powered zero-emission fleet produces nothing more than water vapour, while still performing at the top standards we expect from all our equipment.

Mobile patrols are more than just effective–they’re also affordable! Find out more in our blog on ‘Why Mobile Patrols are a Cost-Effective Security Solution for Your Business’.
