PSI Vehicle Patrol Services

Vehicle Patrol Services are valuable options to a security coverage program.  They can either act as additions to existing guard services or function as a standalone program of observation and deterrence.  

PSI is just as flexible in its program offerings for patrol services as we are for our guard services.  The following choices are available through our Random Routine vehicle patrol service:  Once, twice, three or four times per night visits; scheduled every night, every other night, or weekends and holidays only.  The Patrol Supervisors will be on-property as long as it takes to perform their assigned rounds, check whatever checkpoints have been highlighted, and then leave your property to return later for their next patrol rounds.  Random Routine means that we adhere to a fixed schedule based upon your choices above, but we arrive at random times, attempting to vary arrivals night to night so as to not be predictable in any way.

Dedicated Patrols are the more intense form of vehicle patrolling.  And, it can be yours for the asking.  A Dedicated Patrol program means that we never leave your property except for fuel and maintenance.  It consists of a private vehicle which will carry your identification/ name/ logo on its doors.  It will not be used at any other location and typically is left at your location when not in use.  Dedicated Patrols usually run on a (24/7) 24 hours per day/7 days per week schedule or 18/7, or 12/7 schedule depending upon your needs.  Many times these vehicles will be equipped with light bars, spot lights, microphone and speaker, cell phones, or radios.  We will equip the vehicle as you specify.  Dedicated Patrols require a two-year agreement with PSI as the upfront costs are quite considerable and typically take 20 -24 months to recoup our investment in your patrol vehicle.

Random Routine is often used as an adjunct to a standard stationary guard program.  It can also be meant to serve as your only security program when the budget is tight.

Dedicated Patrol is often the only security program a corporation/ establishment has as it involves guards on duty for prolonged periods of time in a vehicle that remains on your property.

Example comparison for budget considerations:

          Stationary Security Guard on duty                              

          for 8 hours per night/ 7 nights per

          week                                                  $ 840.

          Random Routine Patrol service three              

          visits per night during the same hours

          the guard would be working for 7

          nights per week.                                  $ 560.

                             Two visits per night:         $ 385.

Note:  Your actual costs of service may be the same or more, or less, than the costs shown due to factors not being considered here such as grade of security officer, location and type of post, distance from PSI’s Central Dispatch, duties required of each type of service, etc..
