Overview
Use the Patrol Company Report to determine the patrol agencies to pay and how much to pay them for a specified period. User’s branch restrictions apply.
This report returns results for agencies that responded to alarm dispatches within the required response time defined in their individual patrol agency records. To determine whether an agency is eligible for a payment and the amount due, SBN uses the following records from the Alarm Log:
Dispatch time
On-site time
Off-site time
SBN only includes agencies in this report that have pricing data defined in program #1717.
To access this report, select Patrol Company (report #2082) from the main menu of SBN.

Calculation Example
The record for the patrol agency defines
A response time of 15 minutes
A one-time fee of $25.00
A unit of 15 minutes
A unit rate of $25.00
1. An alarm signal arrives at the central station.
2. The operator dispatches the patrol agency at 13:15:00.
3. The guard arrives at the installation at 13:22:30.
4. The guard leaves the installation at 13:43:30.
Because the guard arrived within the defined response time of 15 minutes, the record is eligible for payment and the agency is due $25.00.
Because the guard does not leave the installation for 21 minutes, the guard visit counts as two units. The agency is due $25.00 for each unit, or $50.00.
The total due to the patrol agency for this response is $75.00.
