Your entire operation on one live map

Guard positions, active incidents, emergency alerts, and resolved situations are all visible in a single map view that updates continuously.

At any moment, the map displays:

  • Every active incident and emergency with severity indicators
  • The real-time position of on-duty security guards
  • GPS-verified coordinates rather than text-based descriptions
  • Current status of each event: active, escalating, or resolved

Stop piecing together information from radio calls and text messages. Open the map, and the operational picture is already there.

Dispatch based on proximity, not guesswork

When a real-time incident or emergency demands a response, the critical question is always: who is closest? That answer only has value when paired with shift and duty management data confirming the guard is actually on duty and available.

The map gives you instant clarity on:

  • The exact location of the incident
  • Which guards are nearest to it
  • Which zones are already stretched thin

Armed with that information, dispatch decisions take seconds instead of minutes.

Continuous updates as situations evolve

Security situations change fast. The map keeps pace.

As new information arrives:

  • Guard positions update automatically
  • New incidents appear the moment they are reported
  • Resolved events fade from the active view

There is no need to refresh, reload, or request updates. The screen always reflects what is happening right now.

Clarity when pressure is highest

High-activity shifts and simultaneous emergencies create conditions where mistakes are most likely. A visual map reduces that risk.

It helps your control room:

  • Direct guards to the correct location on the first attempt
  • Eliminate duplicate dispatch to the same incident
  • Maintain situational overview when multiple events run concurrently

Calmer decisions under pressure start with better information.

GPS-verified evidence for reporting and accountability

GPS-verified incident location evidence for post-incident reports and client reviews in MyProtektor

Every incident retains its GPS coordinates permanently.

That location data gives you:

  • Documented proof of where each event took place
  • Stronger post-incident analysis and debriefing material
  • Professional, verifiable reports for clients and management

When a client asks where something happened and how you responded, the answer is backed by GPS data, not memory.

Why operations managers depend on the map

Because real-time location eliminates the largest source of confusion in security response.

Replace:

  • Lengthy verbal descriptions of locations
  • Misinterpreted street addresses and landmarks
  • Delayed reactions caused by incomplete information

With:

  • A single, shared live map
  • Unified visibility for the entire control room
  • Response decisions anchored to verified positions

See the situation. Respond faster. Maintain control.
