Mobile patrols are one of the most effective crime deterrents in South Africa because criminals don’t fear alarms or CCTV alone—they fear visible, active, and unpredictable security presence. In areas like Kokstad, Bizana, Mount Frere, and Harding, where police resources are stretched thin, our mobile patrols have become a lifeline for communities, businesses, and farms.
Areas with active private patrols report 17–22% lower property crime rates (SAPS Data). Our mobile approach replaces criminal predictability with uncertainty—they never know when or where we might appear.
We effectively prevent:
Business and home burglaries
Cable theft and perimeter breaches
Livestock theft and farm invasions
Vandalism and property damage
We protect multiple locations within a single shift through constant movement and surveillance.
Residential suburbs and complexes
Business districts and industrial areas
Farming communities and agricultural land
Fuel stations and logistics routes
Construction sites and vacant properties
nalyzing:
Crime hotspots and previous theft incident data
Areas with protests or road construction
Vulnerable points like toll plazas and rest stops
Zones with weak network coverage where jamming is likely
We maintain complete transparency and provide peace of mind through detailed reporting.
Client Benefits:
Daily, weekly, or monthly patrol reports
Wellness checks and perimeter inspections
Time-stamped evidence of all visits
Immediate notification of security concerns
Insurance-compliant documentation
When our patrol officers detect suspicious activity, we initiate immediate action:
Instant reporting to our 24-hour control room
On-site investigation and assessment
Additional unit dispatch if required
SAPS alert and coordination for serious threats
Property owner notification with recommended actions
Our officers are trained to identify:
Open doors and tampered locks
Broken electric fence wires
Suspicious vehicles and loiterers
Signs of forced entry
Fire hazards and vulnerable residents
We combine structured coverage with strategic unpredictability to maximize effectiveness.
Patrol Strategy:
Scheduled and randomized routes to avoid patterns
Increased frequency during load shedding (when burglary increases by 14%)
Digital route assignment using GPS-based systems
Live vehicle tracking to ensure complete coverage
When residents see our lights at 2 AM, when business owners receive calls about open doors, or when farmers are alerted to cut fencing—that’s when they understand our patrols are more than presence; they’re active protection. We believe crime prevention happens before crime occurs—through visibility, vigilance, and immediate reaction. That is the true value of mobile patrols: they make criminals uncomfortable, and communities feel safe.
