Very informative. As a security guard for several years you did a very good job explaining. You have a neat handwriting but that doesn't come easy for the some of us. I suffer from a neurological problem called dysgraphia. You can look it up but it's basically difficulty in writing. It's not my fault it's the way my brain is wired and cannot be improved upon. Thankfully today most daily activity reports are done either on a computer, tablet or smart phone.
Being a security guard sucks, they want you to write all these dumb reports like your a cop but then pay you the same thing people at McDonald's are getting paid.
FATMAN_162x It depends, shop around. They usually pay crap becasue companies are very shady. Look for "In house" security look for armed security and look for prisoner transport.
I have trained people on the correct way to do reports. An hourly reference is good for the left column. For example it should start with the time you are suppose to start. Lets say you start at 0800 hours, you would put 0800 in the left side column, then inside the the description window area is where you would put exact times like, " I arrive on time to my post and relived Officer SMITH, Carl. I received all 10 keys, detext wand, and all pass down debriefing. Officer Smith informed me that Peerless cleaning crew will arrive at 0830. At 0815, I received a call from the Disney client manager informing me that an alarm was going off" After you write all the details that happened within the hour, you would put 0900 on left side column where your last sentence ends. You should always put the full Last name in Capitals, then the the 1st name . SMITH, Carl. Then from there on out, you would just use the last name. Officer Smith. Now you have all the details within each hour. You never want to use codes like, all is Code 4 or everything is c4. You can use it, if you explain that C4=Code 4= Everything is under control, that way the 3rd party will understands. You can put that on top where you write your name and date etc....You ended a sentence with, "nothing further" as if you were going to say, nothing further to report. I have had my officers write in all capitals, when their writing was so bad. Hope this helps! :D
Knoodlehed, the dark blue pen is a great idea but most copiers can do color prints. Get yourself a custom press stamp like notary public officials use. Then you will know for sure it's the original. - PO2 USN retired
Very great documentary and thanks for this.. 👊🏾☕ The layout of a Report book isn't shown to you before you go on to your First Job.. Was so nervous about this Logbook thing. DJ 🎙Soca Sam/ SIA Door Security UK.
Great idea but most copiers are in color. Get yourself a custom press stamp like notary public officials use. Then you will know for sure it's the original.
So my question is if there's nothing out of place or out of ordinary on post do i just write post secured or should i just put filler everytime for ex. gate unlocked / locked and secured gate or cones moved and secured even if none of that's true . basically do they trip if there's nothing much written on report?
Yeah, good luck with this. I asked for replacements six months ago. There’s a way to do a digitally and it will not work because they don’t even have the job site registered in the system so I can’t do the digital DAR.
Dayley Action Reports suck when you work for a Security Company that dosent use them you have a good job . You will get promoted either way they have no choice but to promote you oventuly not very many people last long in security one job i was at lost 73 people in 1 week. I went through 9 different supervisors in a year. Most Security Companies are a joke to even work for. You will work 16-24 hour shifts when your supposed to work an 8 hour shift because your relief shows up late our they don't even bother to show up at all and it's like every other day your company won't bother to write them up our fire them . But if you leave post you will be terminated they don't care that you have another job and some other place you need to be .
I love my Security Job when it's similar to Police Work . Allot of people get pissed off when i write them a citation. You're a Security Guard you don't have the authority to write me a citation. Considering the fact that i work for the City Councilmen and the fines are collected by a Police Officer at the end of the month if you can find a Security Company that's contracted by a Police Department it's great .They have you check the parking meters outside or you will be standing guard for Jury Duty in the Court House.
Thonks for Video. My Lt wints me to do better reoerts. I don't agree with hom. My repoorts be goid but I be show him I watch this video and tild him you be teaching me and he said I need to wotch it 100 mo times. I think he need watch video on manners but he don't lusten to me. He say I'm dum. That hurt my feelings.
Cody According to any manual security report needs to be simple and short, it is not an incident report. Why are you guys keep making security report as your incident report.
Ancient History not really if you work overnight when nobody is around you basically get paid to sit on your ass and be on your phone and patrol every hour which isn't even that bad unless you're morbidly obese and hate exercise
Same here i prefer to work alone . One of my coworkers was to busy checking grils butt's instead of monitoring the metal detector. He let them walk right past him . He even admitted it to my supervisor that it was his fault and not mine . I got written up anyway they didn’t do anything to him. My supervisors excuse was that it's my job to keep my fellow guards in line. I also get sick and tired of haveing to pull a double shift everyday seince my relive never shows up. After pulling 18 hours a day than your job wants you to come back in 6 hours . You start to get fed up with it .

Some security guards make 30$ an hr lol but for the most part I can agree, I only get 10$

Pedro's Vlog yes man it's fucking sucks
More experience is gold. If you don't have experience then go to TRAINING. More money there.
You're a low level security guard not a security officer or security agent. Know the difference.
Thank you bro for the tip!!! I suck at writing reports 😔
Same here 😁😁
Nice tips for security work
Thank you I hope I get hired soon I need to learn a lot but for the meantime I hope this helps 🙂
How has or it is going for you?!
I'm not security officer or someone, but thanks for precious knowledge 👍

Thank you so much it very helpful tomorrow I’m going to apply for security guard job
Nokkaew Martinez did you get the job!?
@@willannunziatoits a bit ‘tricky’ getting in , you could say
I am going on ten years as a security guard still to this day how many people can't write reports.
Sometimes the ‘report’ isn’t even asked for until WEEKS LATER when shit hit the fan

I prefer to use a dark blue pen, to distinguish my original from any photocopy made from it.

Can you give a example PDF for us to download please. For those who are just learning.

Thank you for that tip I will apply it to my daily work
How is the tip working for you?
I really appreciate this 🤦🏽♀️ thank you so much .
thank you for the tip I will apply it to my skills :)
Lol u know all about DAR's
a good tip look at a fellow officer that you respect and ask him how to do it
You should never use 10 codes in a DAR, or IR; your client does not understand them.
Thanks for the tips bro
Man. Thank you very much for this.

Do you get paid for the extra hours?
Thanks for the video its help me a lot.
What would you write if you are at a stationery post just watching a gate?
dodfan 78 you would just write 2200: gate secured
Thank u so much l need information
Thanks in a million.
If I copy your work as an example,its call plagiarism
I like the way u are explain us thanks for u sharing but can tell us more plz
Do you just keep writing the same thing over and over again throughout your shift if nothings really happening? Like just patrolling the site .
Nah you gotta change it every hours even tho nothing happened
Maple Leafs Bleed Blue keep other words that same meaning for what you've been said
Being a security guard is like getting paid to do nothing if you cant work it you cant work nothing
Depends where you work. I patrol communities that have hired us, issue parking tickets, tow cars, kick out or arrest trespassers, etc.
I love my Security Job when it's similar to Police Work . Allot of people get pissed off when i write them a citation. You're a Security Guard you don't have the authority to write me a citation. Considering the fact that i work for the City Councilmen and the fines are collected by a Police Officer at the end of the month if you can find a Security Company that's contracted by a Police Department it's great .They have you check the parking meters outside or you will be standing guard for Jury Duty in the Court House.

you do not write whole things .just. i patrol inside and outside of the site nothing happened.... finished simple
Israr Ahmed you can write it however you want some guys write simple and short , some write long and detailed.
Cody According to any manual security report needs to be simple and short, it is not an incident report. Why are you guys keep making security report as your incident report.
Helpfully for me thanks
Too many other officers and other people trying to get you fired.
Just do your job and write your reports. You will be fine.
Will you send me a copy of that report
what do you put on your report if you're on a fixed post where you do not do patrols
dodfan 78 name of post and that it's all secure or nothing happened. ie... southwest door of garage post secure.
Chris Iverson thank you
very nice I like that!
Is this report at 10pm and just a hour of report? I'm new to this.
Just write down what you see every hour on post
Journal

Help full for me
