Hiring A Houston Patrol Security Company Deters Crime

Are you in a situation where you know you need better security than standard alarms and cameras, but you can’t budget for dedicated on-site security guards? If so, then you are in a perfect situation to hire a Houston patrol security company – the cost-effective option for adding additional security to your property.

What Does a Houston Patrol Security Company Provide?

The key distinction between a patrol service and dedicated security guards service is that the patrol is moving between several different properties as part of a larger patrol route. In effect, you’re sharing security services with several other properties in your local area. However, that means costs are significantly lower than keeping guards on-site 24/7, while you still have rapid access to those guards should they be required.

This allows you to have nearly all the benefits of dedicated guards, but at a fraction of the cost. When you hire professional patrol services, you get:

Regular drive-bys from uniformed security personnel in highly distinctive marked vehicles.

Irregular timing of the patrols, so that their movements are not easily predicted.

Rapid response to any break-in or other intrusions.

Extra guard services, such as providing escorts to employees working after-hours, if needed.

How Do You Benefit from Hiring Professional Patrols?

Deterrent

The major benefit from any form of hired security is the deterrent factor. Criminals almost always check out a property before they try to break in, and if they see guards on-site, they’re likely to simply not bother. There are too many other unprotected properties for them to invite an encounter with trained guards.

Extra-low response times

Even if the guards are at another property when an alarm sound, they’re never too far away. They can reach your property and respond in a much shorter amount of time than if you were having to wait for a central alarm company dispatch service. This greatly increases the chances of catching criminals in the act.

Preventing minor vandalism

Not all break-ins are genuinely malicious. Teenagers, for example, may hop a fence for fun or to spray-paint the area. Having patrols on-site prevent these sorts of minor acts of vandalism and trespass, but without the expense of full-time guards.
