Mobile Patrol Officers in Scranton & Wilkes-Barre | Tri State Security Solutions
Tri State Security Solutions, Inc. provides professional Mobile Patrol Officer services throughout the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre metro area and all of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Our highly trained mobile patrol teams deliver visible, flexible, and cost-effective security coverage for commercial properties, construction sites, residential communities, industrial parks, and institutional facilities that do not require full-time stationary guards.
Mobile patrols are one of the most efficient and widely used security solutions in today’s environment. Instead of placing a single officer at one fixed location, mobile patrol officers cover multiple properties on scheduled or random routes. This approach provides broader coverage, acts as a strong visual deterrent, and allows for rapid response across a wider geographic area.
Pennsylvania Regulations for Mobile Patrol Officers
In Pennsylvania, mobile patrol services fall under the Private Detective Act of 1953 (22 P.S. §§ 11–40). This law regulates the business of “watch, guard, or patrol agencies.” Any company providing mobile patrol services must hold a valid agency license issued by the county Court of Common Pleas. Individual unarmed officers do not require a separate state license but must work under a licensed agency. Armed mobile patrol officers must additionally hold current Act 235 Lethal Weapons Certification from the Pennsylvania State Police.
Our company maintains all licenses and insurance required by law. We are bonded by the Luzerne County Courts. Copies available upon request.
Tri State Security Solutions fully complies with all state and local regulations governing mobile patrol operations, ensuring every patrol is conducted legally and professionally.
