An incident report is completed and provided to the client. Every guard is trained to respond to crisis situations in accordance with the approved site security plan.

Each shift ends with a shift handover protocol recording: the current state of the site, any registered incidents or anomalies, alarm system readings, and specific notes. Protocols are retained and available to the client upon request.
