It is the goal of Team Patrol to provide exceptional security guard services.  Our security guards are well trained and know that the key to success is excellent customer service.  One critical part of their duties is to ensure effective patrolling of an area.  To help assure that this is always done, we will install a Guard Monitoring system to ensure the security guard is clocking in on time and patrolling key areas at regular intervals. The guard monitoring system is on an App called “Destiny Mobile”

The “Destiny Mobile” app is compatible with every smart phone. Guards are to scan the QR codes that resemble the size of a Cheez-It Cracker. These QR codes are placed at key points throughout the facility and are known as checkpoints.  While patrolling the area, the security guards can scan these checkpoints as they pass by.  Team Patrol computers will then receive a record containing the date and time that each checkpoint was scanned.  This information is tracked to make sure that patrolling is done on a regular basis, and can be easily shared with you, our customer right after the shift. We make sure that our guards receive ongoing training with Destiny Mobile software to provide top-notch service. View the video below!
