Your alarm calls a monitoring centre. Police arrive 20 minutes later. The crime is over. PatrolForce puts a uniformed security guard on your street — already patrolling your zone, three to five minutes from your door.
One tap fires a GPS-pinned alert to the on-duty guard for your zone cluster — already patrolling 3-4 adjacent streets, not 20 minutes away. The guard arrives uniformed, visible, and informed.
One tap on the PatrolForce app sends a GPS-pinned alert to the guard on duty + monitoring service. No alarm integration. No hardware. No setup beyond downloading the app.
The guard is already patrolling your zone cluster — not dispatched from a call centre across town. Their visible arrival creates immediate deterrence. If the threat is ongoing, police are called with the guard already on scene providing a live description.
Officers arrive to find the guard already present with a description of the situation, any suspects observed, and a timeline. Far fewer false-alarm dismissals — they arrive knowing a professional confirmed the call.
Criminals aren't deterred by what records them — they're deterred by what interrupts them. Nothing else closes the response gap that actually matters.
The protection that gated communities have always taken for granted, made accessible — pooled across a 40-home zone so the math works.

Priority SLA
Insurance angle: PatrolForce-certified zones qualify for 5-15% home insurance discounts. On a $2,500/year policy that's $125-$375 in annual savings — effectively reducing Shield's net cost to under $80/month.
Pre-registering is free. No card, no charge, no commitment. We use pre-registrations to gauge demand and prioritise which neighbourhoods to launch first. Your zone activates when 20 neighbours commit. Then — and only then — we contact you and you decide whether to subscribe at $99/month.
When this hits 20, your zone goes live within 4-6 weeks. No card required to pre-register. You'll get an email when we're ready to launch in your area, and only then do we ask if you'd like to subscribe at $99/month.

ADT and Telus dispatch police from a call centre. Police arrive in 15-30 minutes. By then the crime is over. PatrolForce dispatches a guard who's already patrolling your zone — they arrive in 3-5 minutes, before the crime is finished. Cameras and alarms record. PatrolForce interrupts.
They make their presence visible, identify any suspects, and call police if the threat is ongoing — providing a live, professional description that gets police taking the call seriously. They are not armed and not law enforcement. The deterrence comes from showing up fast, in uniform, in marked vehicles.
You hold it for 1.5 seconds before it fires. If you trigger by accident, you can cancel the incident from the app — the guard sees the cancellation immediately and stands down.
No. GPS is only sent at the moment you press panic. We don't log your location otherwise. The guard sees your address and live location only during an active incident. After resolution, location data is auto-purged after 90 days.
One household paying for a guard patrol costs $6K-10K a month. PatrolForce's economics only work when ~20 neighbours share one guard across the cluster. The pledge model is honest about that — we'd rather wait until your street is ready than charge you for a service we can't deliver.
Phase 1.5 adds an optional outdoor smart speaker that shouts "PatrolForce Security: local guard dispatched from around the corner" the moment you press panic. Phase 2 adds drone-in-a-box autonomous first response, compressing arrival to under 90 seconds. The guard service is the foundation we're proving first.
