Promotes Alertness
Regular prompts reinforce awareness and active participation throughout the shift.
Guardian Officer Accountability Technology
Guardian HourGuard
Hourly officer check-ins. Continuous site accountability.
HourGuard helps confirm that the assigned security officer remains awake, alert, safe and actively engaged throughout the shift—especially during overnight and lone-worker assignments.
A stronger standard for security coverage
Know that your officer is active—not simply scheduled.
A posted schedule confirms who should be onsite. HourGuard adds a recurring accountability layer by requiring the officer to respond at established hourly intervals. The documented activity helps discourage sleeping and prolonged inactivity while giving management earlier notice when a check-in is missed.
Documents Activity
Each completed check-in creates a time-based record of officer responsiveness.
Supports Lone Workers
Recurring confirmations provide an additional safeguard for officers working alone.
Enables Faster Follow-Up
A missed response gives supervisors a reason to check on the officer and the assignment.
How HourGuard works
Simple hourly confirmation. Clear accountability.
1
Scheduled prompt: The officer receives a check-in request at the required interval.
2
Active response: The officer confirms that they are safe, alert and attending the post.
3
Documented record: The completed check-in is logged with its time.
4
Missed-check follow-up: An unanswered check-in can trigger management review and outreach.
