One of the most common questions we hear. Here is the honest answer.

Static Guard

Best for: single entrances, reception, retail floors, construction gates.

Strength: constant presence, immediate response, customer interaction.

Cost: higher, dedicated hours.

Mobile Patrol

Best for: large properties, multiple buildings, parking lots, after hours coverage.

Strength: covers more ground per dollar, unpredictable timing deters crime.

Cost: lower, shared across sites.

The hybrid answer

Most sites do best with both: a static guard during business hours, mobile patrol overnight. That is exactly what our Xtreme Hybrid package is built for.
