Continuous presence · one defined post · written duties
Unarmed Security Guards Kansas City
A standing-post plan assigns an unarmed officer to a defined location during approved coverage hours when the property needs ongoing presence or repeated interaction—not periodic visits alone.
A fixed post may fit a property where approved duties require ongoing presence during a selected window.
Entrances, lobbies, and reception areas
Leasing offices and resident-facing locations
Approved gates and controlled access points
Construction entrances or work areas
Temporary assignments and defined problem areas
Other posts documented in the approved scope
02
Define the post before assigning the officer
Post orders should name the location, coverage hours, authorized duties, prohibited actions, contacts, access procedures, breaks or relief expectations, reporting, and emergency escalation. Unverified duties should remain out of the proposal.
03
Make shift reporting useful
The approved plan may require activity notes, exceptions, incidents, notifications, and authorized photographs when supported by the configured process. Management should know the report format and timing before launch.
04
Compare continuous presence with wider coverage
A standing post concentrates attention at one location. Mobile patrol or property checks may fit a property that instead needs defined visits across several areas or sites. Combined coverage requires clear responsibility and staffing.
No. KC Property Patrol & Security is positioned for unarmed service only.
