Mobile Security Patrols | Teesside, Middlesbrough, North East

Is your building in need of a mobile patrol?

Mobile Security Patrols. Any insurance company will take a very close look at the security of a business before they quote. Certainly, they’ll be interested in the passive physical security in terms of locks, shutters and so on. But the active security arrangements will also be of concern, and none more so than in circumstances that render employees, buildings or stock vulnerable. You may have secured the building, but that doesn’t mean that it’s protected in the following circumstances:

The building is unoccupied
You may be waiting to sell the building, or you may have recently acquired it, and be in the process of fitting it out. If a building is unoccupied, the risk of theft, fire and vandalism all rise sharply. Thieves may break into the building and steal fittings and equipment. Of greater concern is that they may strip the building itself, selling cabling, roofing and any other materials with a value on the second-hand market, mobile security patrols will mitigate this risk.

If a building is known to be empty and never visited, very few people will bother to report suspicious activity around it. If it’s not derelict now, it could soon become so. Most business premises are unoccupied during the night, and some are empty all weekend. The high cost of energy means that all lights are out, flagging up the building’s unoccupied state. Mobile security patrols are a highly visible, liveried vehicle, clearly demonstrates that the building is being actively protected.
It is in a remote location

It’s remarkable how buildings that are off the beaten track become known to thieves. For example, a farm building not in sight of any homes can be targeted because it contains valuable machinery or even animals. You can arrange a mobile patrol for the times at which you know other rural businesses tend to be targeted. It’s a target Schools, places of worship and institutions can be targeted by people who wish to damage or destroy the premises. The high visibility of mobile patrols can bring enormous reassurance to communities, who feel that the security of a building that matters to them is being actively managed.

Alarm Response Service | SIA Approved Contractor

Alarm Response Service | SIA Approved Contractor

Alarm Response Service. When the alarm on your business premises goes off, everyone knows about it – which after all is what you bought it for. Having an SIA approved alarm response service from Vistech Services ensures your premises are responded to and protected.

There is now significant legislation with a bearing on your business responsibilities in this area, and the overriding message is that alarm response has ceased to be a “do-it-yourself” job. The risks are simply too high. For your own peace of mind it would be wise to think about handing it over to a professional security firm with the ability to take care of any alarm response service.

Duty of care
You are required to ensure the safety and well-being of your staff. Sending an employee to investigate the alarm when there may be one or more intruders in the building is no longer acceptable practice.

Statutory nuisance – Council action

If you’re on holiday and the arrangements you’ve made for responding to an alarm fail, you could find yourself facing serious problems with the Council. An alarm that rings all night and keeps people awake will most certainly come to their attention. You have a legal duty to ensure this doesn’t happen. Once the council has decided that the alarm is causing a statutory nuisance, they’ll serve a notice with a short deadline, ordering it to be dealt with. A magistrate will then be asked to issue an emergency warrant to enter the premises, and a locksmith and electrician will be called to enter and disable the alarm.

Insurance problems and charges
Although the premises will be left secure, your business insurance will almost certainly not be valid at this point. The alarm will not be working, and your premises will have been entered without your knowledge. Failure to respond to an alarm will negatively affect perceptions of your business. Then there’s the matter of the costs, which will include the Council’s time and are likely to be significant.

We can help you pre-empt any and all of these problems by providing a 24/7/365 alarm response service.
