On patrol across North Cork — right now
Mobile patrols & key holding for commercial properties — built on response times, not alarm boxes. Mallow's locally-based patrol specialist, serving Mallow, Charleville, Mitchelstown and Millstreet 24/7.
Why local wins
Most security firms respond to North Cork from somewhere else. Guard Force Security is based on Bank Place in Mallow town centre — our marked patrol vehicles are already on the road, already in the area, every night of the year.
We don't install alarms. We don't sit in a monitoring room. We patrol — and when something happens at your property, we're the ones who show up first.
Guard Force — patrol already in the areaWhat we do
No alarm installation, no monitoring boxes. Just rapid, visible, boots-on-the-ground security for your commercial property across North Cork.
Marked patrol vehicles visit your commercial property on scheduled and randomised runs throughout the night and day. Visible presence is the strongest deterrent — and our response times are our reputation.
We hold a set of keys to your premises and respond immediately when required — an alarm trigger, an emergency access request, or a scheduled lock-up. No need to call staff out in the middle of the night.
When something happens at your property, every minute counts. Our local patrols are always in the area — giving you the fastest possible response across Mallow, Charleville, Mitchelstown and Millstreet.
From schools and business parks to industrial yards and retail sites — visible, documented patrols tailored to the access points and risk profile of your commercial site.
The fleet
Our marked, branded patrol vehicles are a visible deterrent in themselves. Clearly identifiable as Guard Force Security, they signal to anyone watching that your property is actively monitored — and that response is never far away.
Where we operate
Our local focus is the whole point — faster response times, better local knowledge, and a team that's genuinely part of the community it protects.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about commercial patrol and key holding in North Cork. Still unsure? Call 022 51427.
Key holding is a security service where Guard Force Security holds a set of keys to your commercial premises. When a patrol is needed, an alarm is triggered, or emergency access is required out of hours, we respond immediately on your behalf — so you don't need to call a member of staff out in the middle of the night. We operate 24/7 across Mallow, Charleville, Mitchelstown and Millstreet.
Yes — an alarm on its own only alerts you that something has happened. Without a key holder responding, there is no physical presence at your property. Guard Force Security provides the human response: we attend your premises, assess the situation, secure the property, and report back. We work alongside any existing alarm system — we just don't install or monitor alarms ourselves.
Patrol frequency depends on your property type and risk profile. For most commercial properties in North Cork, we recommend a minimum of 2–4 randomised patrol visits per night. Randomised timing is important — predictable patrol routes are less effective as a deterrent. We design patrol schedules specific to each client site.
