Guard Patrol System in Iowa, United States
If you run guarding contracts in Iowa, United States, the argument you keep having with clients is whether the rounds were done. Guard Patrol Pro settles it: each checkpoint scan carries a timestamp, a GPS fix and the identity of the guard who made it. Coverage in Iowa is part of our wider deployment across the United States, so the same dashboard, reporting and billing work whether you guard one site or a hundred.

Questions buyers ask
Do you support security agencies based in Iowa?
Yes. Guard Patrol Pro is cloud software, so an agency in Iowa can register, add a site and print checkpoints the same day. There is no hardware to ship and nothing to install on a server.
Does Guard Patrol Pro help with state security licensing board requirements?
It gives you the records those requirements depend on. Guard Patrol Pro keeps a time-stamped, GPS-tagged and identity-verified log of every patrol round and every guard shift in the United States, exportable per site and per date range. It is a record-keeping tool, not legal advice, so confirm your own licensing obligations with state security licensing board.
Can one account cover multiple sites across Iowa?
Yes. Sites are organised under one agency account with their own checkpoints, rosters and client reports, and supervisors only see the sites assigned to them. Daily reports can go to each client separately while you keep a single consolidated view.
What happens where mobile data is weak?
Scans are recorded on the device and queued. When the phone regains a connection the queue syncs with its original timestamps and GPS positions intact, so a basement car park or a remote perimeter does not leave a gap in the patrol record.
Is there a free demo?
15-day free demo for 1 guard and 1 site, no card required. After the demo, plans are priced by site and guard count and can be billed in USD.
Licensing and record-keeping
Private security in the United States operates under state-level private security licensing statutes. There is no single federal guard licence in the United States: California works through BSIS, Texas through the DPS Private Security Bureau, Florida through the FDACS Division of Licensing, and New York through the Department of State. Because requirements differ by state, patrol records have to be exportable per site and per jurisdiction.
