Najczęściej zadawane pytania
Why should foot patrols be irregular?
A patrol that follows the same route at the same times is easy to predict. Changing the order and timing makes it harder for anyone to plan around you.
What should I do if I find a door with signs of forced entry?
Do not go in. Move to a safe place where you can watch, call police and your control centre, and keep people away until police arrive.
What do guard tour checkpoints prove?
They record that a guard reached each point at a certain time. They show the patrol was done, but you still need to look carefully at everything between checkpoints.
