Question 1

What is the difference between dedicated security and mobile patrol services?

Accepted Answer

Dedicated security places a professional, uniformed officer on-site for a scheduled shift, providing continuous coverage for your property. Mobile patrol provides a highly visible Signal patrol vehicle and officer who conduct randomized or scheduled property checks throughout designated hours. Patrol services offer a cost-effective way to create a strong security presence without the expense of a full-time on-site officer.

Question 2

What makes Signal different from other security companies?

Accepted Answer

Signal is locally owned and operated by people who live and work in the communities we serve. From our officers to our leadership team, we're invested in protecting our neighbors and local businesses. When you call Signal, you're speaking with local professionals who can respond quickly with real solutions—not a distant call center. Combined with industry-leading technology and highly trained officers, we deliver responsive, professional security you can count on.

Question 3

How quickly can Signal deploy a mobile surveillance camera trailer?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, we can deploy a camera trailer in less than 24 hours, and often the same day depending on availability and location. Our trailers are solar-powered, rapidly deployable, and ideal for construction sites, parking lots, warehouses, special events, and properties experiencing security concerns.

Question 7

Can Signal help reduce crime and liability at my property?
