On patrol across North Cork — right now
Mobile patrols, key holding and alarm response for commercial property in Mallow, Charleville, Mitchelstown and Millstreet — built on response times, not alarm boxes. PSA-licensed and locally based, 24/7.
What we do
No alarm installation, no monitoring boxes. Rapid, visible, boots-on-the-ground security for commercial property across North Cork.
Marked patrol vehicles visit your commercial property on scheduled and randomised runs through the night and day. Visible presence is the strongest deterrent there is — and our response times are our reputation.
We hold a set of keys to your premises and attend the moment they are needed — an alarm activation, an emergency access request, or a scheduled lock-up. Nobody on your staff gets called out at 3am.
When something happens at your property, every minute counts. Our patrols are already in the area — giving you the fastest response we can offer across Mallow, Charleville, Mitchelstown and Millstreet.
From schools and business parks to industrial yards and retail sites — visible, documented patrols built around the access points and risk profile of your specific property.
Why local wins
Plenty of security firms will quote for a site in North Cork and then respond to it from somewhere else entirely. 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.
Guard Force — patrol already in the area
The fleet
Our marked, branded patrol vehicles are a deterrent in themselves. Clearly identifiable as Guard Force Security, they tell anyone watching your property that it is actively patrolled — and that a response is never far away.
Where we operate
The local focus is the whole point — shorter distances to your site, better local knowledge, and a team that is genuinely part of the area it protects.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about commercial patrol and key holding in North Cork. Still unsure? Call 022 51427.
Guard Force Security provides mobile patrols, key holding and alarm response for commercial property across North Cork. We are a PSA-licensed security contractor (licence 06967) based at 139 Bank Place, Mallow, Co. Cork, operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We do not install or monitor alarm systems — we are the physical response that attends your property.
We cover Mallow, Charleville, Mitchelstown, Millstreet and the surrounding North Cork area. Mallow is our base, so patrol vehicles are already on local roads every night. Call 022 51427 to confirm cover for your specific location.
Key holding means Guard Force Security holds a set of keys to your commercial premises in secure storage. When an alarm activates, emergency access is needed, or a lock-up is scheduled, we attend on your behalf — so no member of your staff has to drive out in the middle of the night. We attend, assess the situation, secure the property and report back to you.
An alarm on its own only signals that something has happened. Without a keyholder attending, there is no physical presence at your property and nobody to reset the system or secure the building. Guard Force Security provides that human response and works alongside any existing alarm system — we simply do not install or monitor alarms ourselves.
It depends on the property type and risk profile. For most commercial property in North Cork we recommend a minimum of two to four randomised patrol visits per night. Randomised timing matters: a patrol that arrives at the same time every night is easy to work around. We design each patrol schedule around the individual site.
Yes. Guard Force Security Limited holds Private Security Authority (PSA) contractor licence 06967 and operates in accordance with Irish private security regulations. The company is registered in Ireland under Company No. 584899 and has been trading since 2016.
No. We work exclusively with commercial property — schools, business parks, industrial and warehouse units, retail premises, construction sites and rural commercial property. Keeping to commercial work is what lets us hold patrol routes and response times to a consistent standard.
Response time depends on where your property sits on the night's patrol route and on road conditions at the time, so we do not quote a single figure for every site. What we can say is that our vehicles are based in and patrol North Cork every night rather than travelling in from another region. Call 022 51427 and we will talk through realistic response times for your address.
