On the term Roving versus the term Patrolling


"FYI Security Guards, Security Officers, Security Instructors and Trainers! Take note that the term Roving is also defined as gallivanting which is "naggagala" in the vernacular, hence it's more appropriate to use the term Patrolling. And Patrolling has two kinds as to location - the first one is Internal Patrolling and the second is External Patrolling. With regard to the manner of conduct, it also has two - either Foot Patrol or Mobile Patrol. So please refrain from using the term Roving. Instead, let us practice and institutionalize the use of the term Patrolling like what is being used in western countries to denote guard movements in their respective AORs. It's about time we give dignity to our profession as security practitioners!" - Grandeur P.G. Guerrero, CSP
