Daily activity report (DAR) explained
The DAR is the most common report in contract security. One is completed per officer per shift, with entries added as things happen rather than written from memory at the end of the night.
Supervisors review DARs for problems that need follow-up, clients read them as evidence of the service they pay for, and they can be used in insurance claims, audits and legal cases. A DAR refers to separate incident reports by number rather than retelling each incident.
DARs are also called daily logs, shift reports or occurrence books, depending on the company and country.
How ForceVera handles it
In ForceVera, officers file daily activity reports from the guard app with photos. Clock-ins and patrol scans are recorded automatically, supervisors review the reports, and a daily report for each client or site is compiled and emailed in your branding, after review or automatically at a set time.
