How to Track Mobile Patrol Officers' Working Time and Check-ins

Mobile patrol officers play a vital role in securing larger areas, covering multiple client sites, or patrolling extensive perimeters. Ensuring these officers are adhering to their designated routes, making timely check-ins at key locations, and accurately logging their patrol durations is essential for providing effective security coverage, ensuring client satisfaction, verifying service delivery, and managing payroll. Traditional methods can lack the precision and real-time data needed for optimal mobile patrol management.

How Jobsies Supports Mobile Patrol Operations:

1. Shift and Checkpoint Time Logging with Selfies: Mobile patrol officers can mark the beginning and end of their overall shift with a quick selfie. Critically, they can also use this feature to check in at each designated client site or checkpoint along their patrol route, providing time-stamped, verifiable proof of their presence and coverage.
2. Managing Patrol Routes and Client Sites as "Projects": Each client site that requires a visit, or an entire patrol route itself, can be set up as a "project" or a series of tasks within Jobsies. This allows for detailed tracking of time spent and activities performed per location or route.
3. Field Reporting with Photographic Evidence: Officers can use the Jobsies app to document their patrols comprehensively. This includes taking photos at specific checkpoints to confirm their presence, reporting any security observations (e.g., unsecured doors, suspicious activity, property damage) with immediate photo uploads, and logging vehicle status or mileage. "Before and after" photos can be used to show the condition of a site at check-in versus check-out or to document any actions taken.
4. Real-Time Monitoring for Supervisors: Security supervisors gain a live overview of their mobile patrol team's activities, including current locations (based on check-ins), time spent at each site, and any incident reports submitted. This facilitates better coordination and rapid response when needed.
5. User-Friendly for Officers on the Move: The Jobsies mobile app is designed for ease of use, allowing officers to quickly log their check-ins and submit reports without significant disruption to their patrol duties.
