Free Security Daily Activity Report (DAR) Template

A daily activity report, or DAR, is the running log of your shift: when you started, what you checked, who came and went, and anything unusual. The next officer and your supervisor rely on it.

Tips

• Log entries as they happen, with the exact time. Don't save it all for the end of the shift.
• Record patrols and checks even when nothing is wrong ("Loading dock checked, doors locked").
• Note visitors, deliveries, alarms, maintenance issues and anything out of place.
• If something needs a full incident report, log it briefly here and add the report number.
• Finish with clear handover notes for the next shift.

A general template. Your employer's or client's policy and your state's rules come first. Not legal advice. What you type stays in your browser; nothing is sent to us.
