Common Questions
Patrol Security FAQs
What is patrol security?
Patrol security uses licensed officers — on foot, bike, or in marked vehicles — to move through a property on a scheduled or randomized basis, checking for theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access, rather than staying at one fixed post.
How much do security patrol services cost in Atlanta?
Cost depends on patrol frequency, property size, and whether officers are armed or unarmed. PSI builds a plan around your site and budget — call (770) 850-1111 or request a free quote for an exact number.
Are security patrol services available for short-term or one-time coverage?
Yes. PSI’s Atlanta security patrol services cover everything from a single event or short-term project to long-term, ongoing contracts — there’s no minimum term required to get started.
What should I look for in a security patrol company in Atlanta?
Confirm the company is licensed with the Georgia Board of Private Detective & Security Agencies, ask how officers are vetted and trained, and check whether patrols are GPS-tracked with documented visit reports. A responsive security patrol company should also give you one direct point of contact rather than routing you through a national call center.
What's the difference between vehicle patrol and a stationary guard?
A stationary guard holds a single post, usually an entrance or lobby. Vehicle patrol covers a wider area on a moving, less predictable schedule — better suited to large sites like warehouses, campuses, and multi-building properties.
What's included in a patrol security service contract?
A typical patrol security service contract sets your patrol frequency and hours, whether officers are armed or unarmed, the coverage type (vehicle, foot, or bike), reporting frequency, and incident response protocol. PSI tailors each contract to the property rather than using a fixed package.
How often do patrol security guards check a property?
Frequency is set per contract — from multiple checks per shift to a single nightly pass. PSI also offers randomized patrol timing so visits can’t be predicted or timed around.
Can I request random or scheduled patrol visits?
Yes — both are available and most clients use a mix. Scheduled visits cover predictable high-risk windows (shift changes, closing), while randomized visits deter anyone watching for a pattern.
