On Patrol
Learn about SLSNSW patrol procedures, guides and operating standards.
INTRODUCTION
The SLSA Operations App has been created for current patrolling members to conduct and report on patrol activities on a mobile device over traditional paper-based logbooks.
For example, members can use the Operations App to:
- Record patrol sign-in/off, statistics, roster information and updates
- Monitor local service activity feed
- Track patrol vehicles
- Log gear and equipment issues as well as gear inspection information
- Create and access powercraft logs
- Perform risk assessments using the Surf Risk Rating tool
- Log and view incident report details
The Operations App links to SurfGuard and the SLS Beachsafe App in real-time so that information is shared and recorded much quicker and faster, reducing any paperwork and administrative burden associated with patrol operations.
