This is a sample daily activity report (or DAR) by a typical security company. Every security company will have their unique way of recording information on their forms, but all of it is self explanatory. By law, a security guard must write a daily activity report to record all the events for his/her shift. Even if the shift went uneventful, by default, there must be at least one entry per hour.
On this daily activity report, the form is divided into 4 sections:
- Top section: Reserved for information such as guard name, site location, and occurrence codes.
- Left section: Reserved for the time.
- Right section: Where the guard writes his/her entry.
- Bottom section: Signatures and check end of shift checklists.
