PATROLS AND KEYHOLDING
Cost-effective and reliable premises security can be provided with a combination of modern electronic security systems and mobile uniformed patrols. Scheduled vists normally encompass both external and internal inspections of the premises, while incident response can be provided though GSL Dardan's 24-Hour monitoring centre for alarm activations and CCTV coverage.

Verification:
Customer premises are normally "tagged" with a number of electronic keypoints. As the security officer vists the site, he records his presence at each keypoint with a handheld data recorder which timestamps each visit for electronic verification of the patrols. Readouts of patrol times/locations are routinely provided to our customers to guarantee service levels.
Operational Support:
Mobile patrols are in constant communication with our 24-Hour control room to verify the officers' location and check on welfare. The positions of all GSL Dardan patrol vehicles are also continuously tracked using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite technology, for enhanced efficiency and safety. Working in close liaison with the police, our controllers are able to identify potential hazzards or threats, and advise our customers and officers accordingly.
Dog Patrols:
Some sites may be particularly remote or require additional search capability or officer protection. GSL Dardan operate a number of specialist dog units to deploy handlers and trained patrol dogs in a highly professional manner, providing an enhanced deterrent to would-be intruders.
