The Protective Services Group operates mobile patrol and alarm response services to government locations throughout the State of Queensland, with a combination of Protective Services Officers and pre-qualified private security providers.
All Protective Services Group patrol officers have been trained at the Queensland Police Academy with legislative powers under the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000. In addition, these officers have undergone specialist training courses in Mobile Patrols and Alarm Response procedures.
The Mobile Patrols team operates a fleet of marked, highly visible vehicles based at local Police Facilities within the Brisbane, Logan, and Moreton Bay regions. Each patrol vehicle is equipped with secure data and voice systems, with integrated radio communications providing streamlined communication to all other Queensland Emergency Services. Patrol and alarm responses are assigned by an automated Patrol Management System that records all onsite checks with GPS tracking.
Mobile patrols operate 24-hours, 7 days a week by uniformed officers and can provide several services for clients including:
- Randomised internal and external site patrols
- Alarm response services
- Welfare checks for staff working after-hours
- Staff escorts
- Location lockup or unlocking services
- Staff or Contractor site access after-hours and on weekends
- Ad hoc patrols for specified periods due to site incidents
