Proactive protection after-hours
Mobile patrols reduce opportunistic crime and help you maintain control after-hours. Watchdog patrols can be scheduled, randomised, or event-driven — providing a visible presence and consistent checks across Tauranga and Rotorua.
A key part of our patrol service is the site bed-down: a proper lock-up process that helps ensure your premises is secured after staff leave, with doors checked, access points verified, and your site properly locked down for the night. Our patrol staff are also trained in alarm response techniques, so they can deal professionally with whatever they encounter on-site.
