Riverdale Dunthorpe Patrol is a full service security patrol company focused on maintaining your peace of mind. We perform random deterrent patrols, respond to alarm activations, ensure homes and buildings are secure and provide personalized security consulting.
We currently offer residential patrol services in the Riverdale/Dunthorpe area of South Portland and the eastern parts of Lake Oswego. We also offer commercial security services to businesses and buildings in the John's Landing area of South Portland and eastern portions of Lake Oswego.
Riverdale Dunthorpe Patrol has been Portland's premier residential security patrol company since 1963. No other company matches our services or personalization.
At RDP we offer you a personalized service that will ensure a feeling of security for you and your family while you are away or home in the middle of the night. From a suspicious noise at 3:00 A.M., to something as common as locking yourself out of your home, we are ready to assist you. As an RDP client, you will no longer have to rely on the availability of your neighbor or inconvenience a relative. Our service is there all day, every day.
Alarm systems are good deterrents to burglars, but who will respond quickly when your alarm is activated? Who will check to see that your home is still secure or ensure that your home is repaired if damaged during an attempted break-in? If your alarm is activated, a patrol officer will check your home, inside and out ensuring that your home is secure, reset your alarms and report any problems to you. In the rare case there are signs of suspicious or criminal activities, the police will be notified and our officer will assist with the investigation. We can also assist fire and medical responders by granting access to your home.
Driving by is quite different from the services you receive as a client of RDP. We strive to get to know each of our clients individually. We pay attention to routines such as what cars are normally in the driveway and when the housekeeper or landscapers are expected. Most importantly, we notice differences that indicate you may be away from home. This allows us to provide a level of security that far exceeds a drive-by presence.
As business owners, we understand that your location is more than a building; it contains your livelihood. Protecting it is a high priority. Security patrols are an economical way to provide that "ounce of prevention." With nearly 60 years of experience providing security services, Riverdale Dunthorpe Patrol has built long-standing relationships with the community. We believe our relationships, including our close relationship with area law enforcement, enhance our ability to serve our customers.
As first responders to an alarm, RDP can provide a more thorough check than a police officer — often with a faster response time. An RDP officer will check the entire premises inside and out and, if necessary, immediately alert the client and/or the authorities of any problems. If the premises is secure, we can reset the alarm and report our actions during normal business hours.
People's perception of the safety of your property is an integral part of attracting tenants to your facility. The visibility of security patrols increases this sense of safety. We are knowledgeable in many aspects of security systems including key-less entry systems, video recording, security lighting and more.
Merchandise, property, as well as customers and employees are all valuable assets keeping you in business. Their security is a daunting task that is often set aside or overlooked. We can help you identify, prioritize and address specific security needs. Delegate these tasks to RDP so you can concentrate on growing your business.
Job sites pose a unique security problem. The ability to secure tools and equipment can be limited. Often buildings may be open enough for transients, thieves, vandals and other trespassers to congregate or seek shelter. RDP can deter unwanted visitors with security patrols when your employees are not present.
