Electronic Guard Tour Systems are a very effective security supervision tool. Unfortunately in many cases security providers use it very effectively as a sales tool, and in practice they forget the true purpose of this tool.
On the other hand, clients not truly understanding this tool’s technology and practicality, fall pray of a false sense of service quality. Even more alarming, they fall pray of a false sense of security.
The use of an Electronic Guard Tour System by a security service provider doesn’t mean in any way that their quality of service is infallible, but if used appropriately, the service provider can greatly improved their service quality and consequently greatly improving client’s security.
Guard Tour System requires security officers to electronically document the exact date, time and location within a property, in addition, each patrol, patrol order and frequency is recorded. The system allows supervisors and managers to verify that patrols are been conducted within the required frequency, order of patrols is as instructed and all areas of the property are patrolled as required.
