How Patrols & On-Site Guards Stop Thefts Before They Happen
At Maxxguard, Inc., we’ve built our business on a simple principle: prevention is better than reaction. Since 1979, we’ve provided professional guard and patrol services across West Tennessee — from businesses and apartment complexes to industrial sites and retail stores. With decades of experience and a 98% client retention rate, we know that consistent, visible security presence is the single best way to stop theft before it starts.
Whether your property faces risks from employees, vendors, customers, or professional thieves, regular patrols and on-site security officers provide a proactive layer of protection that cameras alone can’t match.
1. Visible Deterrence Works
A uniformed guard patrolling your property sends a clear message: “This place is protected.” That visible presence discourages criminal behavior before it happens. Many theft attempts end before they begin simply because a would-be offender sees professional security on-site.
2. Curbing Internal Theft
Employee or vendor theft can quietly drain profits over time. On-site guards monitor restricted areas, review unusual activity, and maintain an accountable environment that keeps everyone honest. Regular patrols and random checks make it far harder for bad habits to take hold behind the scenes.
3. Multiple Threats, One Strong Layer of Protection
From retail stores to distribution centers, properties face a variety of risks — not just shoplifters. Vendors, contractors, or professional thieves often look for weak spots in access control. Regular patrols close those gaps by ensuring that every corner, every entry, and every after-hours zone is watched.
4. Immediate Response When Seconds Matter
When an alarm sounds, a door is forced, or suspicious activity occurs, on-site guards respond instantly. While police may take minutes to arrive, your trained security officer is already there — able to assess, intervene, and report accurately. That speed can make the difference between a close call and a costly loss.
5. People and Technology Working Together
Security cameras, motion sensors, and alarm systems are powerful tools — but they need a human presence to make them effective. Maxxguard officers coordinate with your technology, verifying alerts, preventing false alarms, and taking action when real issues arise.
6. Peace of Mind and Professional Image
Visible security doesn’t just protect property — it protects people. Employees, tenants, and customers feel safer when they know a professional team is watching out for them. A secure environment builds trust, reduces liability, and enhances your company’s reputation.
