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.
