Start TrialFour Steps to Better Patrol Proof.
A workflow built to document what happened and produce proof reviewers and clients can use.
Start Patrol
Open the shift with a structured record tied to the officer, site, and route.
Verify Activity
Location check-ins, timed patrols, and checkpoint scans build the verification trail.
Attach Evidence
Photos, incident details, and notes become part of the shift record.
Generate Reports
Activity is organized into officer and site reports with verification scoring.
Step 01 + 02
Open the Shift. Verify the Activity.
The shift opens with a clean record. Location check-ins, timed patrols, and checkpoint scans build the verified trail as the patrol happens.

Step 03
Evidence That Explains What Happened.
Images, incident details, and patrol notes become part of the shift record so the final report shows the work, not just the route.
- Photos are timestamped and attached to the shift
- Incidents carry type tags, descriptions, and context
- Notes document observations without requiring a full incident
- Everything links back to the patrol record
