VERIFIED PATROLS

VP Protection utilizes a "real time" web based guard touring system that allows for immediate access and alarming of sensitive patrol points. This system gives the customer the ability to ensure no area has gone unpatrolled for a period that is longer than they specify. The system assures that VP Protection customers have no single patrol point overlooked. If the guard does not patrol a targeted point the system instantly sends out an alert to our mobile supervisor who responds immediately. This alert can also be sent to other supervisory positions allowing for redundancy to ensure that the critical area is patrolled promptly. VP Protection feels that this system is another way that we distinguish ourselves from our competitors. With value added services that our clients can benefit from immediately.
