This app is for guards only — supervisors, admins, and clients use the Patrolr web portal. WHAT YOU CAN DO Go on duty See your assigned sites and your current on-duty status the moment you sign in. Your home screen shows patrol progress and a live feed of your recent activity. File hourly check-ins Log routine security checks during your shift — perimeter sweeps, lock checks, equipment checks, alarm checks — each with a clear status: All Clear, Issue Found, or Requires Attention. Report incidents properly Choose the incident type and the form adapts to it, so the right details get captured every time. Supported types include trespassing, break-in, theft, vandalism, suspicious activity, parking violations, property damage, medical emergencies, fire and safety, and police on site. Capture evidence on the spot Take photos or record video directly in the app and attach up to 8 items to any report. No switching to your camera roll, no texting files around after the fact.
