Mobile Security Patrols in Dublin

Marked patrol vehicles visiting business premises, sites and developments across Dublin at times nobody can predict, with a licensed officer checking your property on foot.

Mobile Patrols Dublin: how we work

Dublin is ringed by business parks and industrial estates that are busy by day and deserted at night: Sandyford, Ballymount, Park West, Citywest, Ballycoolin, Santry, Swords and many more. Most units in them do not need a guard all night. They need somebody to check them, visibly and unpredictably, and to respond when the alarm activates.

That is what our mobile patrols do. A licensed officer in a marked vehicle visits your premises several times a night, at varied times, gets out and walks the site: doors, shutters, gates, fencing, the yard and anything left outside. Every visit is recorded, and anything unusual is reported to you.

Patrols are also used for apartment developments and managed estates, where officers check car parks, bin stores and shared areas, and for vacant property, where regular recorded inspections are often an insurance requirement.

A typical plan for a unit on a west Dublin industrial estate is an evening lock-up check, two or three visits spread through the night and a final check before staff arrive. A city centre premises might instead have checks timed around when the street empties after the bars and restaurants close. We agree the window for visits with you and vary the exact times within it, night by night.

Most clients combine patrols with key holding and alarm response, so the same officers who already know the site are the ones who attend when the alarm activates. We plan patrol routes across the city so visits can be frequent without being predictable.

  • Marked vehicles, uniformed officers
  • Varied, unpredictable visit times
  • Lock-up and unlock visits
  • Vacant property inspections
  • Record of every visit
  • Alarm response from the same team

Frequently Asked Questions

Which areas of Dublin do your patrols cover?
Dublin city and county, including the business parks and estates in Sandyford, Tallaght, Citywest, Clondalkin, Blanchardstown, Ballycoolin, Santry and Swords.
How many patrol visits does a site need?
It depends on the site and its history. Many sites start with two or three visits a night and adjust from there. We will recommend a number after seeing your premises.
Is a mobile patrol cheaper than a guard?
Yes, considerably, because you pay for visits rather than an officer on site all night. It suits locked, lower-risk premises. Where something valuable could be removed between visits, a guard is the safer choice.
Can a patrol officer lock up our premises?
Yes. Lock-up visits check the building is empty, secure doors and windows and set the alarm. Unlock visits open the premises for staff in the morning.
How do we know the patrols happened?
Every visit is recorded with the time and the checks made, and you receive the record.
