With your staff taking a well-earned seasonal break during the festive season, it’s only natural to be concerned for the safety and security of your building. Since most companies shut down for at least a few days over Christmas, empty commercial premises are an easy target for thieves, vandals, and other trespassers.
Fortunately, with Marpol Security, there is a simple and cost-effective solution. We operate mobile patrols throughout the UK, looking after our clients’ businesses round the clock. In this article, we will briefly explain the benefits of utilising these teams during your Christmas break.
What is a mobile patrol unit?
Our mobile patrol units comprise one or more trained security officers with years of experience who drive around the local neighbourhood, keeping a watchful eye on our customers’ buildings. They work in shifts, providing 24/7 coverage, so you can be sure your premises will be protected however long your staff are on Christmas shutdown.
Benefits of a seasonal mobile patrol
Our mobile patrol units operate year-round but are particularly popular during the seasonal break, when more businesses are closed down. These are just some of the advantages they provide:
Visual deterrent: our mobile patrol vehicles are clearly marked with the Marpol Security insignia, so any would-be intruders will be aware that we are in the area, making them think twice about trying to access your property.
Regular inspections: as part of our service, our mobile patrols will visit your site at various points during their shift to make sure everything is as it should be. This includes checking the doors, windows, and perimeters for signs of vandalism or attempted entry.
Immediate response: should your building alarm be triggered or suspicious activity be noticed on your CCTV system, our mobile patrols can be at your property within minutes to resolve the situation.
Peace of mind: our mobile patrols are in constant operation, keeping your workplace under their watchful eye. This allows you to relax during your Christmas break, knowing your property is in safe hands.
