Photo-verified checkpoints.
Quick answer
Bike and golf cart patrol uses licensed security officers on bicycles or golf carts to patrol large properties — HOAs, campuses, shopping centers, business parks and events. They cover far more ground than a foot patrol and reach paths, greenbelts, pools and plazas that a patrol car cannot, while staying approachable to residents and visitors. Officers check amenities, enforce rules and document checkpoints with photos.
The challenge
Patrol cars stay on the roads; foot patrols are slow. The areas in between go unchecked.
Trails, parks and greenbelts are out of view from the street.
Pools, clubhouses and courts draw trespassers late at night.
Shopping centers need a presence that is visible but not intimidating.

Choosing coverage
Bike patrol is quiet and agile — ideal for paths, plazas and busy pedestrian areas. Golf cart patrol covers large communities and campuses quickly and can carry supplies. A marked vehicle patrol is best for overnight coverage, roads and multiple sites.
Many communities use bikes or carts during busy daytime and evening hours and switch to vehicle patrol overnight. See HOA security and mobile patrol security.
California considerations
No state law specifically restricts security use of bicycles or golf carts on private property; on public roads, golf carts are generally limited to streets with speed limits of 25 mph or less unless local rules allow otherwise. Your property’s own rules and insurance may also apply.
Every officer must hold a BSIS Guard Card and work for a licensed private patrol operator. The Guard Card requires a DOJ and FBI background check, 8 hours of Power to Arrest and Appropriate Use of Force training before registration, 32 more hours within six months, and 8 hours of continuing training every year. Verify any company or officer on the state’s DCA License Search.
