perimeter checks
Edge security sweeps
Perimeter checks are inspections of boundaries—walking or driving the edges of a property, facility, or secured area to verify nothing is amiss.
Security guards conduct perimeter checks to look for breaches, intruders, or damage to fencing: The night shift does perimeter checks every two hours.
The term appears in military, correctional, and corporate security contexts.
