The short answer
A security patrol report records the site, patrol date, checkpoints visited, observations, incidents, and supporting photos. It should separate routine all-clear checks from exceptions that need escalation, so the client can understand both what was inspected and what happens next.
Before photos
Site condition, open items, or risks at patrol start
During photos
Checkpoint, incident, or corrective-action evidence
After photos
Secured areas and final all-clear condition

What to include
A report your client can act on
Patrol scope
Identify the site or route, service date, client, and patrol provider so the report matches the correct assignment.
Checkpoint and incident evidence
Use photos to support high-risk checkpoints, unsecured areas, damage, hazards, and corrective actions rather than relying on a text-only log.
Escalation and next action
State what was reported, who needs to act, and whether the area was secured before the officer left.
Example patrol report note
“All perimeter, reception, plant-room, and loading-bay checkpoints inspected. Loading-bay door 4 was found unsecured at 22:15, secured by the officer, photographed, and reported to the site contact.”
Questions
What should a security patrol report include?
Include the site, date, officer or provider, checkpoints inspected, observations, incidents, photos, action taken, and any follow-up required. GPS and checkpoint timestamps make the report stronger when captured by a patrol app.
What is the difference between a patrol report and an incident report?
A patrol report covers the full round, including routine checks and all-clear areas. An incident report documents one specific event in more detail. A patrol report can reference an incident and record the immediate action taken.
Can this report prove a guard visited every checkpoint?
The PDF can present checkpoint photos and notes. Strong attendance proof also needs GPS and timestamps captured at each checkpoint, which Provvio records automatically when officers use the field app.
