Due to these concerns, companies and other establishments are hiring private security companies for additional protection.

Whether it is foot or vehicle patrols, our officers are trained to conduct patrols in random patterns, meaning they are never in the same spot at the same time each day or night. By doing so, this makes it difficult for others to establish a patrol pattern, enabling officers to always have the element of surprise.
