Frequently asked questions

What should a security patrol log include?

The officer, site, start and end time of each round, the type of patrol, the areas checked, door, light and alarm checks, and anything unusual with photos.

Do officers fill this in once per shift?

No. Officers log each round as they finish it, so supervisors see every patrol. Use the daily activity report for the full shift summary.

Can I put a QR code at each site?

Yes. Print a QR code for the guard post, and add a ref tag to the link for each site so you can filter patrols by location.
