Security Vehicle Patrol Services in California
Vehicle patrol covers properties where a fixed post is not the right economic answer — large acreage, multiple buildings, remote sites, or after-hours coverage where a permanent officer would be idle most of the shift. Our patrol vehicles carry GPS/RFID readers, and officers scan physical checkpoints on each round, producing timestamped proof that every location was actually visited.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is vehicle patrol different from a stationed guard?
A stationed guard is continuously present at one location. Vehicle patrol visits multiple locations on a route, several times per shift. Patrol costs substantially less for the same property coverage, and it is the right choice for large acreage, multi-building sites, remote properties, or after-hours periods when a permanent post would be idle.
How do I know the patrol actually happened?
This is the core problem with patrol services generally, and it is why we use GPS-verified checkpoints. Physical tags are mounted at each location and the officer must be standing there to scan one. You get a timestamped record of every scan — verifiable proof rather than a signed log sheet that could have been filled in anywhere.
How much does security vehicle patrol cost?
Patrol is priced by route rather than by hour — the variables are the number of stops, rounds per night, and total mileage. For most properties it costs a fraction of a fixed post, which starts at $26.36 per hour for ongoing coverage. Contact us for a route-specific quote.
Can patrol cover several of my properties?
Yes, and that is usually where it makes the most economic sense. A single route covering multiple sites gives each property documented coverage at a fraction of what individual posts would cost.
