Security Guard Shift Log Template

The Daily Activity Report (DAR)

For security guards, the shift log (or DAR) is a legal document. It proves you were at your post and conducting rounds as required. This is critical for:

• Liability Protection: Documenting that doors were locked and areas were secure at specific times.
• Incident Reporting: Flagging any unusual activity that might require a separate Incident Report Form.
• Client Billing: Verifying hours worked at specific patrol sites.
