01

Maximum Visibility

A moving patrol vehicle is seen by more people across more locations than any static post. Unpredictability is the deterrent.

02

Multi-Site Efficiency

One patrol unit covering multiple properties simultaneously — cutting your per-site security cost without cutting corners.

03

GPS-Logged Accountability

Every patrol visit is timestamped and logged. You get a documented record of exactly when your property was checked — every time.

The Patrol Process

HOW ROVING PATROL WORKS

From your first call to the first patrol check — here's exactly how Tyde Link's roving patrol service operates. No surprises. No gaps.

Step 01
Site Assessment & Route Planning
James Dale personally visits your site — or conducts a remote assessment — to map entry/exit points, identify risk areas, and plan the most effective patrol route. Multi-site clients receive a coordinated route covering all properties.
Step 02
Schedule Configuration
We configure your patrol frequency — scheduled visits at set intervals, randomized timing to prevent predictability, or a hybrid of both. You choose the coverage window: daytime, after-hours, overnight, or 24/7.
Step 03
Officer Briefing & Deployment
Assigned patrol officers are fully briefed on your property — its layout, access points, any known issues, and your specific expectations. They arrive on schedule in a marked or unmarked patrol vehicle as agreed.
Step 04
Active Patrol & GPS Logging
Officers conduct thorough exterior checks, perimeter walks, lock-up verification, and visual deterrence sweeps. Every visit is GPS-logged with timestamp and officer ID — creating a documented security record.
Step 05
Incident Reporting & Escalation
Any observed issues are documented immediately. If a situation requires escalation, officers contact law enforcement and notify you directly. You receive a full written incident report within 24 hours.

Common Questions

PATROL FAQ

Questions about frequency, coverage, or whether patrol is right for your property? James Dale will walk you through it — no sales pitch.

Talk to James →
How often does the patrol unit visit my property?

Visit frequency is customized to your needs — typically ranging from 2 to 6 checks per shift. We can schedule set intervals (e.g., every 2 hours) or randomize the timing to prevent predictability. We'll recommend the right frequency based on your property's risk profile.

Can you patrol multiple sites I own in one contract?

Absolutely — multi-site coverage is one of the key advantages of roving patrol. We route a single unit across your properties in a logical sequence, giving you coordinated coverage across all sites at a significantly lower cost than deploying individual guards at each location.

Do I get a report of each patrol visit?

Yes. Every patrol visit is GPS-logged with a timestamp and officer ID. You receive documented patrol reports for every shift, and a full written incident report within 24 hours of any observed issues. Full accountability on every check.

Are patrol vehicles marked or unmarked?

We offer both. Marked patrol vehicles maximize visible deterrence — most clients prefer this. Unmarked vehicles are available for clients who want discreet monitoring without broadcasting a security presence. We'll recommend based on your situation.

Is roving patrol cheaper than a dedicated guard?

Significantly, yes. A static guard covers one location for one shift. A roving patrol unit covers multiple locations across the same shift period. For most commercial and residential properties, roving patrol provides an appropriate and far more cost-effective security posture.
