What is a good strategy when conducting a patrol?

Having a time guideline and patrolling during specific times
Having a time guideline and patrolling in random intervals during those guidelines
Conduct patrols whenever you feel like it
All of the above

The correct answer is: Having a time guideline and patrolling in random intervals during those guidelines

Patrolling at random intervals within a certain timeframe is a strategic approach because it increases the unpredictability of your patrols. Unpredictability is crucial in security patrolling as predictable patterns can be easily noticed and exploited by individuals with malicious intent. By keeping patrols random within a set guideline, a security guard retains the element of surprise and makes it difficult for someone to anticipate when the area will be patrolled. This approach also ensures regular coverage of the area within the defined time guideline. In contrast, patrolling at specific times may make your pattern predictable while conducting patrols whenever you feel like it does not ensure regular and adequate coverage.
