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 for Your Site
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.
🛡️ Get a Security AssessmentCost Efficiency
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.
Are your patrol officers SIA licensed?
Yes, all our mobile patrol officers hold a valid Security Industry Authority (SIA) license and are vetted to BS 7858 standards.
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 or if your perimeter is 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 electronic patrol logs that detail the exact 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 arrive at a set time to open your premises and return in the evening to secure the building.
Does this service support insurance audits?
Yes. Using an SIA Approved and SafeContractor Gold accredited company for documented patrols helps satisfy strict commercial insurance requirements.
How many patrols should I have per night?
We typically recommend between 2 and 4 patrols per night for maximum deterrence 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 and timing their activities around our visits.
What happens if you find a broken window?
The officer will assess the situation, contact the police if necessary, and notify your emergency contact. We can remain on-site to secure the premises.
Do you check for fire and flood risks?
Yes. During internal and external checks, officers are trained to look for environmental hazards like water leaks or fire risks.
Do your officers wear body cameras?
Yes, officers may use body-worn cameras for incident management. However, recording ownership and data storage strictly follow client and GDPR guidelines.
Is there a minimum contract length?
We offer flexible terms. We can arrange short-term temporary patrols for holidays, weekends, or temporary site closures.
Can you check vacant properties?
Yes. We offer specific Vacant Property inspections to satisfy insurance requirements, checking for 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 visit to check the site, regardless of alarms.
