Carlton North is mostly terrace streets, with village shops along Rathdowne and Nicholson Streets. When a shop closes for a refit, or a builder leaves a renovation for the night, the site can go unchecked until the next working day.
Our mobile security patrols draw on one of Victoria's largest patrol fleets. Officers arrive at randomised times in marked vehicles, work through your checklist and record each visit in TrackTik.
Shopfronts after close. Doors, glass and signage on Rathdowne and Nicholson Street shops can be looked over once trading ends.
Premises between owners. When a shop or restaurant changes hands, it can stay closed through settlement and fit-out. Patrols keep an eye on it for the owner, the agent or the incoming operator.
Terrace renovations and extensions. Builders can have fencing, materials and site sheds checked overnight and at weekends.
Smaller apartment blocks. Owners corporations can add the car park, bin store and front entry to a patrol route.
Carlton North’s streets are lined with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and many have been renovated. Once the crew goes home, a renovation leaves tools, materials and a partly built extension sitting beside the neighbours.
A patrol plan for a renovation site can include:
Reports go to the builder, the owner or both.
Your checklist sets the visit. It can include:
Some premises need doors locked after close or opened before staff arrive. This can be built into the patrol plan. Before patrols begin, you tell us which doors are involved and how access works, and it goes into your site instructions.
A patrol is a set of checks at varied times, after which the officer moves on to other sites. If a site needs someone present for set hours, such as a club function or a delivery day, static guarding is the better fit. If the alarm goes off between visits, alarm response in Carlton North sends an officer to it.
TrackTik holds the record of every patrol: GPS tracking, time-stamped reports, site notes, incident records and photographs. A builder can see that the fence was checked on Saturday night, and an owner can see the condition of a closed shop without going there.
Your account manager changes the checklist when works reach a new stage or a new tenant moves in.
Tell us the address, what the site is, when it sits empty and what needs checking. For building work, include the expected finish date.
