Patrol

The security guards will patrol the exhibition space one only time, checking the whole area. The service will be provided during the institution's opening hours or the opening hours of the exhibition.

--

To maintain order in a given space, patrolling is a preventive practice in which security guards, police officers or other security professionals periodically inspect a perimeter, circulating through it attentively, on patrol, acting to prevent any accidents. For a more effective method to safeguard the beneficiaries, we from Amador e Jr. Segurança Patrimonial Ltda. offer a new service that makes a big difference for patrolling art institutions.

Just like as in routine patrols carried out by other professionals, in Patrol the security guards also walk vigilant around the area. Although, the difference is to use the whole business day of the institution to perform one only patrol. Like this, the speed of the action (s) will be measured by the total perimeter of the exhibition space (d) over the institution's business hours or exhibition opening hours (t). (s = d/t)

Their slow movement and the long fixation of their gazes on the exhibition space is thus comparable to a panopticon. When their time is up, security guards are placed in an unknown area, which produces doubt as to whether or not they must observe everything around them, and yet makes them ostentatiously present for a prolonged period, coercing risks that could exist in their absence.
