Command Station is an operations platform for security companies managing sites, guards, dispatchers, clients, schedules, patrols, incidents, and billing.
What Command Station is
Command Station is an operations platform for security companies managing sites, guards, dispatchers, clients, schedules, patrols, incidents, and billing. Its Operations Board shows a visual weekly roster with drag-and-drop shift assignment and real-time clock-in status. Managers can view live guard locations, GPS-verified clock-ins, geofencing, and breach alerts. Guards use the iOS and Android app to clock in, scan QR checkpoints on assigned patrols, submit incident reports with photos, and receive notifications. Supervisors can follow patrol progress and get missed-checkpoint alerts. Clock-in data supports hour calculations; billing can be set per guard or site, with PDF and CSV exports. The standard plan costs C$100 a month, billed monthly, including five guards and 20 sites. Extra guards cost $10 a month per guard, and extra sites cost $100 a month per 20 sites. A free trial is available, but no free plan.
