Post Orders
Site-specific written instructions that define what a security officer must do on a given post.
Post orders are the operating manual for a security post — the written, site-specific rules an officer follows during a shift. They cover access control procedures, patrol routes, escalation contacts, dress code, incident reporting standards, and emergency response steps. Good post orders are versioned, acknowledged by the officer on shift start, and enforceable via checklist.
How SNTNL uses it
SNTNL stores post orders as structured, versioned content per site. Officers acknowledge the current version at clock-in on mobile, and every required checkpoint or task on the post order becomes a verifiable task in the DAR.
