Security Guard App for the United Kingdom

Security companies use Guard Patrol to replace paper occurrence books and disconnected messaging with one timestamped record of attendance, patrol rounds, incidents and supervisor actions. UK companies can retain time-stamped operational evidence alongside their assignment instructions and SIA compliance processes.

Agency administrators create sites and shifts, issue QR or NFC checkpoints, assign guards and monitor exceptions from a browser. Guards use the Android app already on their phone, including when connectivity is unavailable.

• Live GPS tracking for guards on active shifts
• QR code, NFC and GPS checkpoint verification
• Face-verified attendance and geofenced duty-in
• SOS alerts and photo-based incident reporting
• Offline patrol capture with automatic synchronization
• Client-ready attendance, patrol and incident reports

The Security Industry Authority licenses people who carry out designated private-security activities. Its official guidance explains when a front-line or non-front-line licence is required.

Guard Patrol supports operational recordkeeping, but it does not replace legal advice, employee licensing, required training or the security company's own compliance duties. Requirements should be confirmed with the relevant authority before deployment.

Plans are billed in US dollars through the shared Guard Patrol account system. The 15-day trial covers one site and one guard; paid plans currently support up to 15 sites and 100 guards.

A practical rollout starts with one active site: map checkpoints, add the duty roster, run a supervised patrol and review the first attendance and patrol reports before expanding to more locations.
