Security is something most businesses don’t think about—until it’s too late. But with rising crime rates in both city centres and industrial estates across Leicestershire, mobile security patrols are becoming an essential service, not a luxury.
Unlike static guards, mobile patrols offer flexibility, coverage of wider areas, and visible deterrence that discourages criminal behaviour. If you’re unsure whether it’s time to invest in mobile patrols, here are five signs your business might already be at risk.
1. You’ve Had Break-Ins or Vandalism – Or Know Someone Nearby Who Has
A break-in is the most obvious warning sign. But it’s just as important to act before you become a target. If nearby businesses have experienced vandalism or theft, that’s your red flag. Criminals often target areas, not just single premises. A visible mobile patrol acts as a deterrent, sending a clear message that your site is protected and being watched regularly.
2. Your Property Is Vacant at Night or Over Weekends
Many crimes happen outside working hours—when no one’s around to witness or report suspicious activity. Whether you run a warehouse, office block, or construction site, leaving it empty overnight makes it a soft target. Mobile patrols check your site at randomised times, including weekends and bank holidays. This unpredictability makes it much harder for intruders to plan or time an attack.
3. You Rely on CCTV or Alarms—But No One Is On-Site to Respond
Security cameras and alarm systems are helpful—but they’re passive. If an alarm triggers at 3am, who’s responding? A mobile patrol team does more than spot issues—they act. At Trust Security Group, we combine keyholding with rapid alarm response. When there’s a breach, our patrol officers are deployed to your site fast, assess the situation, and take appropriate action, whether that’s resetting a false alarm or calling emergency services.
4. You’ve Noticed Suspicious Behaviour Nearby
Unauthorised loitering, unfamiliar vehicles parked outside, or signs of attempted entry—these are often the early signs of criminal activity. If your staff or tenants have mentioned any of these, it’s time to take proactive steps. Mobile patrols monitor these situations, record them, and escalate if needed. Their presence alone often stops a potential threat before it develops into something serious.
5. You Struggle to Keep an Eye on Large or Multi-Site Premises
If you manage a business park, multiple entrances, or more than one property, keeping everything secure is a major challenge. You can’t be everywhere at once—but a mobile security team can. Patrols are designed to cover larger footprints effectively, making sure nothing goes unchecked. This is especially vital for sectors like construction, logistics, and commercial storage across Leicester and the wider East Midlands.
