Security Presence Without the Cost of a Full-Time Post
Not every property needs an officer on site for every hour. Mobile patrol gives you regular, unpredictable visits from a trained officer who checks your property, deters trespassers and vandals, and documents what they find. To anyone watching, your property looks protected around the clock.
Mobile patrol is one of the most cost-effective security services in Chicago. One officer can cover several properties in a night, so you pay for the visits you need instead of a full shift. It works on its own, or as overnight coverage alongside unarmed security officers who handle the day shift.

Mobile Patrol or an On-Site Guard?
Mobile patrol is the better value when you need regular checks and a visible deterrent, but not someone watching every minute. If people need to be screened at the door, or your site has frequent incidents, an on-site officer is the safer choice. Choose unarmed security for most sites, or armed security for high-risk locations.

Mobile Patrol: Common Questions
How much does mobile patrol security cost in Chicago?
Mobile patrol usually costs much less than a full-time guard because you pay per visit, not per hour. Your price depends on the number of visits per night, how long each visit takes, the size of the property and the number of sites. Contact us for a free quote.
How many patrol visits will my property get?
You choose. Some properties need one or two checks a night, while others need visits every few hours. We’ll recommend a frequency based on your property and past problems.
What happens if the officer finds a problem?
The officer responds right away: securing an open door, asking trespassers to leave, or calling police or emergency services when needed. You are notified and the incident is documented in the visit report.
Can mobile patrol replace a full-time security guard?
For many properties, yes, especially those that mainly need after-hours checks. For sites that need someone watching all the time or screening people at the door, an on-site security officer is the better choice.
Which areas do you patrol?
Like all of our security services, mobile patrol covers Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, including Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Rosemont, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights and Skokie.
