Professional Security Patrols & SIA Licensed Deterrence
Going Beyond Basic Inspection: Proactive Security for High-Risk Assets
While periodic Vacant Property Inspections (VPI) are essential for insurance compliance, high-value or high-risk assets often require a visible, proactive presence.
VPI provides certified Security Patrols conducted exclusively by SIA Licensed Officers. We offer a powerful deterrent against squatters, organized crime, and vandalism, giving you continuous peace of mind and meeting the highest insurer security mandates.
The VPI Patrol Advantage: Licensed, Verifiable Deterrence
Our patrol service is tailored specifically for the unique vulnerabilities of vacant premises. We don’t just drive past; we conduct verifiable, detailed security checks:
- SIA Licensed Officers: All patrols are carried out by personnel holding current Security Industry Authority (SIA) licenses, ensuring adherence to the highest professional standards and legal protocols.
- Scheduled and Random Patrols: We implement both highly visible scheduled patrols and random, covert patrols to prevent observation and pattern detection by potential intruders.
- Full Perimeter Security Checks: Comprehensive checks of all access points, window integrity, lock security, and fencing, looking for signs of tampering, forced entry, or intrusion preparation.
- Advanced Audit Trail: All patrol times and locations are digitally recorded using GPS tagging and time-stamped reports, providing an indisputable audit trail for loss adjusters and asset managers.
Why Security Patrols Minimize Risk and Costs
Investing in regular security patrols is a powerful form of risk mitigation that directly protects your bottom line:
- Active Deterrence: A uniformed security presence is the most effective way to prevent squatting, a costly and time-consuming legal battle often excluded by insurance.
- Early Issue Detection: Patrolling officers are trained to spot subtle signs of utility issues, external damage, or precursor attempts at intrusion that a fixed CCTV camera might miss.
- Compliance for High-Value Policies: Many specialist vacant property insurance policies mandate frequent security checks; our patrols ensure you meet these stringent conditions to protect your coverage.
Immediate Security Restoration on Site
The true value of our patrol service is the immediate response capability inherent in our dual expertise:
- In-House Locksmiths: If a vulnerability (like a damaged lock or compromised door) is discovered during a patrol, our team, backed by certified locksmith expertise, can often perform immediate temporary or permanent repairs to restore security instantly.
- Emergency Boarding: We carry necessary equipment to perform urgent window and door boarding, securing the premises before the end of the patrol, preventing further risk.
