Questions about mobile patrol pricing

How much does mobile patrol cost in the US?

The reference price runs from $600 to $2,500 USD per property/month, pre-tax. Per-property drive-by patrols (typically 1–4 checks per night) with logged visits. Frequency, property size and alarm-response add-ons drive the price. Far cheaper than a standing post — shared across a route.

What factors change the price of mobile patrol?

The city (prevailing wages and cost of living), the schedule and coverage required, armed vs unarmed staffing, officer profile and experience, and the risk level of the site. That's why it pays to compare several quotes.

Do the prices include tax?

These are pre-tax reference prices. Whether sales tax applies to security services depends on the state; each company's formal quote will itemize any applicable taxes.
