Mobile Patrols Coventry
Visible security checks without the cost of a full time guard
Eagle Security Protection provides mobile patrol services to businesses and industrial estates across Coventry. Instead of a permanent on-site presence, our uniformed officers visit your property at scheduled or random intervals to inspect the premises. This service is designed to identify signs of intrusion, check perimeter integrity, and provide a strong visual deterrent against crime.
Why Mobile Patrols Matter in Coventry
For businesses that do not require continuous static guarding, mobile patrols offer a flexible and cost-effective alternative. A marked security vehicle arriving at your site signals that the property is actively monitored.

Pay per visit rather than an hourly rate for a static guard.
Deterrence
Random patrol times prevent criminals from predicting security patterns.
Integrity Checks
Physical inspections of gates, windows, and doors to ensure they are locked.
Rapid Reporting
Immediate notification of any damage, vandalism, or attempted breach.
We tailor patrol frequencies to your risk
"We visit at random times. Criminals can't predict our schedule."
🚔 Scheduled & Random Patrols
Officers inspect premises, identify signs of damage or intrusion, and respond quickly. Best for industrial estates, car parks, and storage yards.
🔑 Lock & Unlock Services
We manage the daily opening and closing of your premises. Unlocking gates at start of business and securing the building at close.
🏢 Internal & External Inspections
Perimeter checks are good, internal checks are better. We check internal corridors, plant rooms, and ensure windows are closed (Requires Key Holding).
🏚️ Vacant Property Checks
Documented checks for empty assets to satisfy insurance requirements. We check for squatters, water leaks, fly-tipping, and forced entry.

Industrial Estate Security
Coventry Business Park
A business park in Coventry was experiencing fuel theft from trucks parked overnight. A full-time guard was outside the budget.
Eagle Security implemented a mobile patrol solution with 4 random visits per night by uniformed officers.
The visual deterrent of the patrol vehicle stopped the thefts immediately. The client saved 70% compared to static guarding.

Mobile Patrols FAQs
How much does a mobile patrol cost?
Our standard rate is £25 per patrol. This includes a physical check of your site’s perimeter, doors, and windows.
What exactly does the officer do during a patrol?
The officer arrives in a marked vehicle, inspects the perimeter, checks that gates/doors are locked, looks for signs of damage or intrusion, and completes a site log.
Do I need to give you keys?
Only if you require internal checks (e.g., checking plant rooms or offices) or if your perimeter is gated and locked. If we hold keys, a small annual Key Holding fee (£1.50/day) applies.
How do I know the guard actually visited?
We provide patrol logs that detail the time of the visit and the condition of the site. Transparency is a core part of our service.
Can you lock and unlock my building?
Yes. This is our "Lock & Unlock" service. We can arrive at a set time to open your premises for staff and return in the evening to ensure the building is empty and secure.
Is mobile patrol better than having a static guard?
It depends on the risk. Mobile patrols are "better" for cost-efficiency on low-to-medium risk sites. If you have high-value assets or continuous traffic, a static guard is recommended.
How many patrols should I have per night?
We typically recommend between 2 and 4 patrols per night for maximum deterrence. This ensures the site is checked regularly without the cost of a full shift.
Are the patrol times fixed or random?
We strongly recommend random patrol times. This prevents criminals from learning a schedule ("pattern recognition") and timing their activities around our visits.
Do you cover all of Coventry?
Yes. We have mobile units covering Coventry city centre, Tile Hill, Foleshill, and the surrounding industrial parks.
What happens if you find a broken window or forced entry?
The officer will immediately assess the situation, contact the police if necessary, and notify your designated emergency contact. We can remain on-site to secure the premises (additional time charged at standard rates).
Can you check inside the building?
Yes, provided we hold the keys and alarm codes. Internal patrols are useful for checking for water leaks, heaters left on, or fire hazards.
Do you use marked vehicles?
Yes. Our patrol vehicles are clearly liveried. The high-visibility branding acts as a strong deterrent to anyone watching the site.
Is there a minimum contract length?
We offer flexible terms. While many clients engage us annually, we can arrange short-term patrols for holidays or temporary site closures.
Can you check vacant properties?
Yes. We offer specific Vacant Property inspections to satisfy insurance requirements. These checks focus on squatters, vandalism, and environmental risks.
What is the difference between Alarm Response and Mobile Patrol?
Alarm Response is reactive—we only come if your alarm goes off. Mobile Patrol is proactive—we come specifically to check the site, regardless of whether an alarm has triggered.
