Behind Lygon Street's restaurants are laneways, bin areas and delivery doors that go quiet once service ends. Further out, apartment buildings, student housing and building sites have their own areas that nobody checks overnight.
TeamSignal Security runs mobile security patrols from one of Victoria's largest patrol fleets. Officers visit at randomised times, check what you've listed and record every visit in TrackTik.
Laneways behind Lygon Street. Rear doors, bin areas and delivery entries are checked after service ends.
Shops between tenants. Lygon Street vacancy has fallen to about 7.5%, but some shopfronts still sit empty between leases. Patrols check the doors, the glass and any signs of entry for the owner or agent.
Apartment and student buildings. Car parks, bike stores, bin rooms and entry doors in shared buildings can be checked for the building manager.
Construction and redevelopment sites. Carlton has large sites under redevelopment, including the Elgin Street towers. Fencing, gates and site sheds can be checked between shifts.
Four in five Carlton homes are flats or apartments, many of them in student buildings along Swanston Street. Shared areas such as car parks, bike rooms and fire exits belong to everyone, so it helps to have them checked on a schedule.
A patrol plan for a residential or student building can include:
Reports go to the building manager or accommodation operator.
A visit covers what’s on your site’s checklist. Common items are:
Restaurants and venues that close late can include lock-up support in the patrol plan, where agreed. The entry method and the doors to lock are agreed in writing before the first patrol.
Patrol officers check a site and move on, so no one stays between visits. For a building lobby or an event that needs someone present, static guarding is the better option. For activations between visits, add alarm response in Carlton.
TrackTik records each patrol with GPS tracking, time-stamped reports, site notes, incident records and photographs, so owners and building managers can see every visit and anything that needs attention.
Your account manager adjusts the plan when tenants change, buildings fill up or works move to a new stage.
