Not every property needs a stationed officer. Many properties just need a visible, predictable, professional security presence to deter casual incidents and reassure tenants. First Class Security shared patrol services deliver exactly that: marked patrol vehicles making randomized, GPS verified visits to your property on a shared route.

You get the deterrent value of a dedicated patrol at a fraction of the cost of a stationed officer, because the same officer covers multiple properties on a shared route. Every visit is GPS time stamped, photo verified at key checkpoints, and reported back to you in a clean weekly summary.

Why shared patrol works

The Best Value in Security


A stationed officer at one site, around the clock, costs in the range of a full time employee plus benefits and management. That makes sense for some properties and is overkill for many others.

Shared patrol services solve the value problem. Multiple properties along the same route share the cost of the same officer and vehicle, and each property still gets a randomized, professional, documented presence on the schedule it actually needs. Most clients on shared patrol pay a small fraction of what dedicated coverage would cost.

If your needs change, you can move up the service ladder at any time. Many clients start with shared patrol and add a dedicated officer for specific shifts, with firewatch or event coverage layered in as their needs evolve. The point is to match the spend to the actual risk. Shared patrol is one route within our broader Nashville security patrol service.

Shared Patrol FAQ

Shared Patrol Common Questions


What is shared patrol service?

Shared patrol service is a marked vehicle that drives a randomized route covering multiple subscribing properties in your area, stopping at each one for a documented walk through, GPS verified arrival, and incident reporting. You get visible deterrence and a written log of every visit at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated stationed officer.

How does shared patrol differ from a stationed officer?

A stationed officer is dedicated to one property for the full shift. A shared patrol officer covers multiple properties in rotation, visiting each one for a scheduled inspection. Shared patrol is the right answer when your property needs visible deterrence and documented coverage but does not justify a full time officer on site.

How frequent are the patrol visits to my property?

Visit frequency is built into your service plan. Most clients choose two to four randomized visits per shift, with the time of each visit varied so the pattern is unpredictable. Higher frequency packages are available for properties that want more presence.

What does shared patrol cost compared to a stationed officer?

Shared patrol is billed monthly and typically runs at a small fraction of the cost of a stationed officer because the patrol vehicle and officer time are shared across multiple subscribing properties. Pricing depends on visit frequency, hours of coverage, and which patrol route your property falls on. We provide a written quote after a site walk.
