Mobile Patrol & Keyholding.
First to the alarm.
Mobile patrol officers are first to the alarm: driving planned rounds across a portfolio of sites, checking locks and responding when a sensor fires at three in the morning. The work is independent, on the move, and trusted with keys to buildings most people never see after dark. A Security Guard licence plus a driving licence is the whole entry ticket.
