School Security Guard Patrols Melbourne & Geelong

Protecting Schools in Melbourne & Geelong During High-Risk Periods

As the end of the school year approaches, principals and facility managers across Melbourne and Geelong face a familiar challenge: keeping their campuses safe during the most vulnerable periods of the year.

With Year 12 students finishing, an increase in after-hours activity, and long stretches of school holiday closures, there has been a noticeable rise in:

Vandalism and graffiti

Forced entry and burglary

Unauthorised gatherings on school grounds

Theft of high-value IT, sports, and classroom equipment

Fire and arson risks from trespassers

Unfortunately, relying solely on alarms and cameras is not enough. Offenders know when a site is unattended, and by the time police or a monitoring company arrive, damage is often already done.

That’s why active, on-site security patrols are the best way to deter and prevent incidents before they happen.
