Security service
ATPS Security provides mobile security patrol services for properties that need coverage without a full-time officer. Patrol officers make randomized visits, check doors and lots, move trespassers along and respond to alarms. Every stop is logged with GPS, so you can see when the officer arrived and what they found.

Security Patrol Services
Updated October 2026
Mobile patrol gives you a security presence across one large property or several smaller ones at a lower cost than a fixed post. The key is unpredictability: patrols that come at the same time every night are easy to work around.
Our patrol officers vary their timing, get out of the vehicle and check the property on foot. Each visit is recorded through GPS-enabled reporting.
Coverage
Lot and garage checks for loitering, vehicle break-ins and unauthorized parking.
Doors, gates and access points checked and secured on each visit.
An officer sent to verify an alarm before you or the police are called out.
Opening and locking sites and amenity spaces on a set schedule.
Unauthorized people asked to leave and repeat issues documented for police.
Mobile patrol works well for apartment communities, office parks, retail centers, construction sites between shifts and vacant buildings. If a site needs someone present at all times, we will tell you, and we can pair a fixed post with patrol coverage overnight.

How it starts
A supervisor walks your property, reviews past incidents and asks how your people use the space. You get a written coverage recommendation.
We write clear post orders, set check-in points and match licensed officers to the post: armed, unarmed or DC Special Police Officer.
Officers report through GPS-enabled software, supervisors check posts, and you have a direct line to leadership whenever you need it.
