Carlisle Street closes in stages. Shops shut first, then cafés, then restaurants and bars. Behind the strip, lanes, car parks and bin areas go quiet, and apartment blocks have car parks and common doors that nobody checks overnight.
Our mobile security patrols come from one of Victoria's largest mobile patrol fleets. Officers visit at randomised times around your hours, work through your checklist and record every visit.
After close on Carlisle Street. Shopfronts, arcade entries and doors are checked once trading has finished for the night.
Rear lanes and car parks. Many premises back onto lanes and car parks. Patrols check rear doors, gates, bin areas and delivery points.
Shopfronts between tenants. Some Carlisle Street shopfronts have sat empty between tenants, and Council has offered short leases to fill them. An empty shop can be checked for entry, leaks and damage until the next tenant moves in.
Apartment buildings. Most Balaclava homes are flats or apartments. Owners corporations can arrange checks of car parks, common doors, bin rooms and lighting.
About six in ten Balaclava homes are flats or apartments, and close to half are rented. Common property such as car parks, entry doors, bin rooms and letterbox areas is shared by everyone, and often checked by no one in particular after dark.
A patrol plan for an apartment building can cover:
Reports go to the strata manager or committee member you nominate.
On each visit, the officer works through your checklist, which may cover:
For venues that close late, a visit can be scheduled soon after close to confirm the doors are locked and the rear is secure, with further visits randomised through the night.
Where lock-up or unlock is part of the plan, we write down how the officer gets in and which doors to lock.
A patrol officer completes the agreed checks and moves on. No one stays on site between visits.
If your premises has an alarm, add alarm response in Balaclava so an officer attends activations between visits. If you need someone present for a whole shift, for example during a function or a fit-out, a dedicated security officer is the better fit.
Every visit is logged in TrackTik with GPS tracking, a time-stamped report, site notes, incident records and photographs. You’ll see when the officer came, what was checked and anything to follow up, such as a car park light that is out or a door found unlocked.
Your account manager reviews the patrol plan with you when your hours, tenants or building change.
Tell us what kind of premises you have, when it is empty and what needs checking. For apartment buildings, list the common areas and who should receive reports.
