Patrol Services

Security Patrols
Insecure premises are an open invitation to burglars, so every business should have at least one CAS security patrol to ensure that your site is secure after staff have left for the day.
When carrying out building security checks, CAS security guards regularly find:

• Doors that are open or unlocked
• Windows open
• Alarms not set
• Lights left switched on
• Machinery and equipment left switched on
• Heaters left switched on
• Vehicles left unlocked and even with the keys still in the ignition

Aside from the building security aspects, CAS security patrols have found broken or leaking pipes and also smoldering ashes (for example caused by welding or other hot works) that are a serious fire risk and rubbish fires in wheelie bins. In these cases, the guard has been able to deal with the situation there and then, which has avoided costly damage to the buildings concerned.

Once your building is secure for the night, you have significantly reduced the likelihood that opportunist burglars will target your property by making it more difficult for them to get in. However, determined burglars may well still be interested in targeting you, so subsequent security patrol checks are important also.

After CAS security patrols have completed the first check of your building and can be sure that all is well, they can then do further visits during the night to provide a further deterrent.
Security patrol checks are an excellent deterrent to burglars, vandals and arsonists because patrolled premises mean that a security guard could turn up at any time unannounced.

We use the latest GPS technology to track and report on the activity of our patrol vehicles.

Rapid Response

Because the NZ Police now no longer responds to burglar alarm activations, private security companies are now used to provide first line response, with subsequent attendance by police patrols if a break-in has been confirmed.

CAS mobile security patrols treat alarm attendances as number one priority. Even if part-way through a patrol check of a site, they will stop what they are doing, deal with the alarm activation and return to complete the patrol check afterwards.

When an activation signal is received at the alarm monitoring centre, it is sent immediately by GPS and a text dispatching system to the nearest mobile patrol guard, who will in turn drive to your site without delay. Upon arrival, they will check for signs of any suspicious vehicles or persons in the area, and will then check your site for any signs of forced or attempted entry. Every attempt will be made to catch and detain any offenders found on site, with police being called immediately for assistance.

If a break-in has occurred, the office can co-ordinate with an authorized keyholder, and tradesmen such as a glazier to secure the break-in.
