When your site is unattended, the response should not be.
Scheduled mobile patrol and alarm response: a licensed officer attends in person, checks the site and files a report every visit.
An alert is not
a response.
An automated alarm tells you something happened. It does not walk the perimeter, check the doors or stand on your property until the site is secure. When nobody attends, a notification is all you are left with.
- After-hours alarm
- A signal, and no one on site
- False trip
- Repeat fines, never verified
- Unlocked gate
- Found open hours later
- Key-holder callout
- Staff attending alone at night
AN ALERT STILL NEEDS SOMEONE TO ATTEND
Visible patrols,
on timing that is hard to predict.
A marked ACS vehicle attends your site on a schedule built around its exposure. Arrival times are randomized, so the rounds are hard to time or learn for anyone watching.
-
Perimeter inspections
A walk of the fence line, yard and blind spots.
-
Door and gate checks
Doors and gates checked closed, locked and secure.
-
Lighting and hazard checks
Dark corners, failed lights, open doors and leaks flagged.
-
Randomized rounds
Timing changes from visit to visit, so a pattern is hard to spot.
When the alarm trips,
a person attends.
An automated notification cannot verify anything. ACS sends a licensed officer to the site, in person, to find out what actually happened before you or the police are pulled out of bed.
Attend and verify
An officer attends in person and tells a real event from a false trip.
Secure the site
Entry points checked and the property re-secured before the officer leaves.
Coordinate and escalate
Police met on site where needed. Your contacts called on a defined path.
Proof of every round and every response.
Every patrol and alarm call closes with a documented report: timestamped, filed to you, and with photos whenever something needs your eyes on it.
-
Timestamped reports
Arrival, findings and departure logged on every visit.
-
Photos where it matters
An open door or fresh damage comes with an image, not just a note.
-
Clear escalation path
Defined contacts and on-call dispatch, so the right person hears first.
Pair patrol with live monitoring.
Patrol puts a licensed officer on your site. Live virtual security adds trained ACS operators who watch your cameras in real time, verify what is happening before anything escalates and trigger the right response. A real person makes the call, around the clock.

Common questions.
Patrol is scheduled. An officer attends your site on randomized rounds to check it over. Alarm response is reactive. When your system trips, an officer attends to verify the cause and re-secure the property.
A person. A licensed ACS officer attends the site, on every scheduled round and every alarm call. The point of the service is the attendance, not the alert.
Yes. Where a confirmed intrusion needs them, our officer attends, coordinates with responding police and secures the property afterward, so your key-holder does not have to drive out at night.
Around your site's exposure first, then randomized. Rounds land at different times each visit, so the schedule is hard to learn or time for anyone watching the property.
A timestamped report confirming arrival, findings and departure, with photos of anything that needs your attention, filed to you and kept on record.
Yes. Multi-site and portfolio operations run from one coordinated patrol plan, with each property's checks, contacts and escalation defined on its own.
