PatrolGuard News: July 2026
We broke our own record!
During May’s heatwave, we shared that we’d received 18 callouts in a 12-hour shift – our record at the time.
Last month, during another week of scorching heat, we received 24 in the same time span.
From bugs dancing around alarm sensors to malfunctions caused by the heat itself, we often see a spike of callouts during these periods.
We’re proud to say that, despite the weather, each callout was responded to successfully and each patrol completed.

Silver linings
We must admit that carrying out record-breaking numbers of callouts across the recent heatwave was a challenge!
However, it does allow our security staff to see some pretty amazing views.
Here’s a photo from one of our guards taken at Compton Verney in Warwickshire, for whom we’re proud to provide alarm response services.
