Patrol Accountability

Hiring security is one thing, but accounting for overnight patrols is another. Have you ever had issues such as not knowing where the guard was between 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM, or why they didn’t patrol the parking lot? Have you ever wondered how frequently the guard does their patrol, or if incidents occurred when the security guard was on duty? Does anyone really see the guard? Are patrol hits visible?

Admiral Security Services, Inc. can now provide proof with precise information of the guard’s patrol on your property by using a patrol checkpoint system. This system has the guard use a tablet or smart-phone during their patrols to scan a QR barcode or checkpoint. This scanned QR code sequence number is then read by the device and translated to the name of the patrol location. In addition, a geo-stamp is applied to the same spot in order to identify the exact coordinates of the scan. The report is then submitted as part of a daily activity report or patrol hit, in which the QR codes are translated into the names of locations, and the geo-stamp coordinates are translated into addresses.

When this report is produced and sent, it cannot be edited. The report shows the times and patrol routes for the guard. Our management reviews these reports daily and looks for gaps and discrepancies in time. This ensures that officers continue to be active, utilizing 100% of their shift by conducting their patrols and walkthroughs. Our goal is to set up a system that eliminates doubt, and to keep officers disciplined and active while providing unquestionable proof of services rendered.
