Security patrol forms are an important tool for maintaining quality and security for officers and the locations assigned to them.

Security patrol forms are used to manage the safety and quality assurance of security officers at the start and end of their shifts. A quest form can be used as a list of standards that need to be met in order to approve the patrol form. Some items include checking if cellphones are on hand in working properly at the start of the shift, vehicle insurance papers are on hand and up to date, access cards and keys are in hand, vehicle is clean and in good working order with no damage. At the end of the shift, patrol vehicles should be clean and in good working order, no theft or accidents, no defective equipment was seen, no police or EMS were called during the patrol and no property damage occurred. When a company chooses to use a quest form, each form can be tailored around the characteristics and standards of a company.
