You often see security patrol officers at businesses, educational institutions, and public or private buildings; they are an integral part of the security system.
Patrol services can be combined with alarm response and surveillance for better protection. We provide security patrol for residential communities, construction sites, retail, commercial properties, and parking lots providing 24/7 security patrol throughout California. We have qualified armed or unarmed guards with CPR/First Aid certification driving our patrol vehicles. Taurus Protection Inc. offers a customized patrol service for your business.

Custom Patrol Services: Our patrol services are customized to meet your unique needs. Frequently, patrol officers are asked to lock and unlock facilities, turn lights and heating/cooling systems on and off, close windows, conduct drive-by security checks, provide after-hours security escorts, and respond to alarms. They also deter trespassers on your property. Should the need arise, patrol personnel should coordinate with local law enforcement.
Detailed Accounts of Each Security Patrol: Because knowing how your security officers are performing is important, we provide you with detailed accounts of each patrol. These include written reports and activity logs when situations are as expected, and incident reports when officers detect anything out of the ordinary.
Contain Costs While Enhancing Safety: Patrol services are a cost-effective alternative to dedicated on-site security officers. You can maximize their effectiveness by posting warning signs that say your property is “protected," “monitored” or “patrolled.” Even if you already have security officers in place, patrol services can provide an extra boost in visibility. You may find that a patrolled area requires fewer officers during off-hours, thereby reducing your costs.
