Patrol officer post orders

Patrol post orders that match the building tonight, not last year.

A patrol officer's value is in covering the right places at the right times. When the route, checkpoints, or lock-up steps in the post order no longer match the site, gaps open exactly where coverage was supposed to be.

What goes wrong

The instruction the officer follows is the one that has to be right.

When a named contact, a number, or a step drifts, the officer is improvising in the moment it matters most.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

What belongs in patrol officer post orders?

The route, checkpoints, timing, lock-up steps, reporting requirements, and escalation contacts, all specific to the site being patrolled.

Why do patrol post orders drift?

Buildings renovate, assets move, keys and codes are reissued, and supervisors rotate, while the route in the post order stays the same.
