How to view the vehicle patrol overview in the Back Office Dashboard?

The Vehicle Patrol Overview in GuardsPro provides admins with a centralized dashboard to monitor every aspect of vehicle‑based patrols. From active patrols, assigned guards, vehicles, and post sites, it offers a clear snapshot of ongoing operations. With live tracking, you can follow guard movements in real time, while the latest activity log ensures accountability by recording patrol start and end times. Performance insights such as completed routes and average route duration further help analyze efficiency, making this overview a powerful tool for managing patrol operations seamlessly. 

✅ This guide will walk you through the steps to view the vehicle patrol overview in the Back-Office Dashboard.

🧭 Step 1: View Patrol Metrics & Live Tracking

At the top of the overview, you’ll find four essential indicators:

• Active Patrols – Displays the total number of patrols currently active.

• Guards Assigned – Shows how many guards are assigned to vehicle patrol routes.

• Patrol Vehicles – Indicates the number of vehicles being used for patrols.

• Post Sites – Lists the total post sites covered under vehicle patrol operations.

Alongside these metrics, the Live Tracker allows you to monitor guard and vehicle movements in real time:

• Switch between Map and Satellite views for better clarity.

• Use the Show Geo‑Fence option to highlight patrol boundaries.

• Each marker represents a patrol route, checkpoint, or post site.

This combined view gives you both a quick operational snapshot and situational awareness of patrol progress.
 

🕒 Step 2: Reviewing Latest Activity

The Latest Activity panel lists all recent patrol actions, including who started or ended a patrol and the exact timestamps.

For example:

• “Vehicle Patrol Route ‘North Zone Patrol’ started by Sara.”

This log ensures transparency and helps admins track operational timelines and guard accountability.

📊 Step 3: Analyzing Completed Routes 

The Completed Routes graph visually represents the number of patrol routes completed each month. Each blue bar corresponds to a month, showing how many routes were successfully completed.

This data helps identify patterns in patrol activity, seasonal trends, or potential gaps in scheduling. Admins can use these insights to optimize patrol frequency and resource allocation.

In addition to the monthly view, you can also review the data on a yearly basis, allowing for a broader analysis of long‑term performance and operational efficiency.

⏱️ Step 4: Checking Average Route Duration 

The Average Route Duration chart displays how long patrol routes typically take to complete.

• The vertical axis shows time (in minutes or hours).

• The horizontal axis lists months, helping you compare performance over time.

• A higher bar indicates longer patrol durations, which may suggest larger routes or slower completion rates.

This insight helps admins evaluate patrol efficiency and adjust schedules or routes accordingly. In addition to the monthly breakdown, you can also review the data on a yearly basis, providing a broader perspective on long‑term patrol performance and operational trends.

✨ That’s it! — The Vehicle Patrol Overview equips you with everything you need to monitor and manage patrol operations effectively. From real‑time guard tracking to detailed activity logs and performance analytics, this dashboard ensures complete visibility and accountability. By understanding these sections, admins can streamline patrol management, improve efficiency, and maintain higher standards of security across all post sites.
