PATROL DIVISION
PATROL DIVISION
Viper Security Enforcement operates 24hr mobile patrol units in the Metropolitan Kalamazoo area. These patrol vehicles are marked, and are operated by armed/uniformed patrolman. Our patrol units provide, and respond to, the following:
Spot checks (residential, commercial, industrial), alarm response (private alarm contractors, and local police departments), private community patrols (mobile home communities, sub-divisions, apartment communities), and emergency response.
Spot checks
Spot checks consist of the patrolman entering your property, patroling designated areas, and any other special requests. A spot check will usually last from 5-15 mins. Most clients contract spot checks when they are out-of-town, or will be absent from their property. Other clients contract spot checks for evenings, and weekends.
Alarm response
VSE contracts with local alarm companies to respond to their silent alarms. In some cases, thier client would prefer us to respond first, rather than the police, due to costs, and personal interests. If an alarm is activated from the alarm agency, the agency dispatches to our patrolman the address and location. The patrolman will respond to the location of the alarm. If the alarm is false, the patrolman will reset the alarm, and leave the scene. If the alarm appears to be an actual B&E in progress, or other criminal activity, the patrolman will ask for the local police to be dispatched, to assist the patrolman.
Private community patrols
A few large communities will hire VSE to provide patrol services. This entails having a patrol unit specifically for the client to patrol thier property. In a private community patrol VSE provides: response to complaints (loud music, neighbor dispute, loitering, etc..), traffic control (speed enforcement, cruising, careless driving), parking and vehicle violations, and curfew regulations. Most of our communities issue speeding violations for problem drivers, in which receiving three (3) such violations will result in the termination of tenancy of the resident.
Emergency response
An advantage that VSE has over other competitors in this area, is that we have the ability to provide our own 'back-up' for our officers. This means that if an officer at one of our sites needs assistance, or has an emergency situation, he can notify the VSE dispatcher on the situation, and the patrol unit for that area can respond to the officer's location. This provides added coverage to our site clients, at no extra cost, and increases officer safety.
