Sentinel Patrol

Flexible and responsive patrol teams ensuring round-the-clock coverage for multiple sites. Ideal for after-hours monitoring, alarm response, and perimeter inspections.

What is Sentinel Patrol?

Sentinel Patrol is a dynamic, vehicle-based security service where PLRD-licensed officers cover multiple sites on a defined route — delivering visible deterrence, alarm response, and after-hours inspections. Unlike fixed guarding, Sentinel Patrol extends your security reach across a wider area with greater cost efficiency.

Wide Area Coverage

One Sentinel Patrol team can secure multiple properties in a single shift — dramatically increasing your security footprint without a proportional cost increase.

After-Hours Protection

Ideal for sites that need a security presence beyond business hours. Officers maintain vigilance after staff have left for the day.

Rapid Alarm Response

When alarms trigger, the nearest officer responds immediately — verifying the cause and escalating to SIOC or authorities as needed.

Visible Deterrence

Marked patrol vehicles and uniformed officers create a powerful deterrent, discouraging trespassers and opportunistic crime at your sites.

Full Accountability

Every patrol checkpoint is logged digitally via the MyPICO App — giving clients complete transparency on patrol activity and timing.

Flexible & Scalable

Patrol schedules, routes, and frequencies are configured to your needs, and adjusted as your properties or requirements change over time.
