Mobile Patrol Security Services in Manchester & Wigan
Professional personnel protecting what matters.
Radius Security provides professional mobile patrol services across Manchester, Wigan and the wider Greater Manchester region. Our marked patrol vehicles and SIA-licensed officers visit your premises throughout the night, deterring criminal activity, checking access points and providing you with a full written report after every visit.
Mobile patrols are an effective and cost-efficient way to protect your business premises when you can’t be there, giving you peace of mind without the cost of a full-time static guard.
Radius were so professional. They managed the queue in an excellent manner, such good interaction with customers to ensure everyone got a taxi.
What Is a Mobile Patrol Security Service?
Mobile patrol security involves SIA-licensed officers travelling between client sites in marked security vehicles, carrying out timed or random checks throughout the night. Unlike a static guard who stays in one place, a mobile patrol officer covers multiple sites on a set route — making it a highly cost-effective security option for businesses that want a visible security presence without the expense of 24/7 manned guarding.
During each visit, our officers will:
- Check all entry and exit points for signs of forced entry or tampering
- Walk the perimeter and key internal areas where access is permitted
- Check that alarms are set and functioning
- Look for any signs of suspicious activity or security risks
- Log their visit with time-stamped records
- Contact the client or emergency services immediately if an issue is found
Mobile Patrols Across Greater Manchester
Mobile Patrols in Manchester City Centre
Manchester city centre presents unique security challenges — high footfall, multiple access points and the proximity of licensed venues all increase risk, particularly overnight. Our patrol officers are familiar with the city’s layout and know where to look. We cover retail premises, office buildings, car parks, restaurants and hospitality venues throughout the centre and surrounding neighbourhoods including Ancoats, Deansgate, Piccadilly and the Northern Quarter.
Mobile Patrols in Wigan
Wigan’s mix of industrial estates, retail parks and commercial premises makes it one of our busiest patrol areas. Our officers cover key business districts including Robin Park, Martland Mill and the town centre, as well as residential and mixed-use developments. We’re particularly experienced with construction site security in the Wigan area, where overnight patrols provide a strong deterrent against material theft and vandalism.
Mobile Patrols in Salford
From MediaCity and Salford Quays to Eccles and Worsley, our Salford patrol teams cover a wide range of property types. We work with media companies, logistics firms, property developers and retail businesses across the area — each receiving a tailored patrol schedule and written visit reports.

Bolton’s commercial areas, including Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park and the town centre, are well-served by our regular patrol routes. Our officers are on the road throughout the night, ensuring that businesses in Bolton receive frequent, reliable checks.

Who Uses Mobile Patrol Security?
Mobile patrol security is the right choice for a wide range of businesses and property types:
- Construction sites: protecting materials, plant and equipment overnight
- Retail premises and shopping centres: particularly during out-of-hours periods
- Industrial and warehouse units: where a full-time guard isn’t cost-effective
- Commercial offices and business parks: regular checks deter opportunistic crime
- Hospitality venues: post-closing checks to ensure premises are secure
- Car parks and multi-storey facilities
- Vacant and development properties
Mobile Patrols vs. Manned Guarding: Which Is Right for You?
Mobile patrols and manned guarding both provide excellent protection — but they suit different situations. If your site needs a constant, visible security presence throughout the day or night, manned guarding is the better choice. If you need cost-effective overnight coverage across one or more sites, mobile patrols typically offer better value.
