We’re excited to officially announce the release of GuardsPro Guard App 8.3.0—a major update built with one goal in mind: to make on-the-ground security operations smarter, faster, and more reliable.
With enhancements focused on improving site tour control, reporting capabilities, guard safety, and everyday task management, this version is designed to elevate your team’s productivity and ensure compliance from the moment they clock in.
Let’s walk through what’s new in GuardsPro Guard App 8.3.0.
Smarter Site Tours and Scan Tag Controls
Managing site tours just became more efficient and customizable. With version 8.3.0, tour-specific rules now determine whether guards must add notes when scanning a tag. If not configured at the tour level, the system defaults to previous guard-based settings.
Additionally, guards can now be required to submit multiple media attachments after each tag scan based on tour configuration. The updated Tag Note screen also supports custom forms defined by administrators, ensuring guards provide site-specific information as needed.
To make the most of these improvements, it’s important for guards to follow best practices while conducting site tours. If you’re looking to further enhance your team’s effectiveness during patrols, check out our blog on 5 Things Security Guards Should Keep In Mind When Conducting Site Tours for actionable insights and tips.
Company Policy Acknowledgment Enforcement
Policy compliance is now integrated directly into guard workflows. Admins can enforce acknowledgment of assigned company policies before guards can use the app. This ensures everyone is aligned with company standards before beginning their shift.
Media Attachments in Reports and Incidents
Reporting just got more dynamic. Guards can now attach photos, audio, or videos directly within report forms and Parking Manager incidents. All attachments are displayed inside the form itself, making reports more complete and visually informative.
Fall Detection for Guard Safety
A powerful new safety feature has been introduced with fall detection. If a clocked-in guard experiences a fall, the system automatically sends an alert through live tracking, tracking history, and API channels. It’s an added layer of protection when guards are out in the field alone or during high-risk assignments.
Guard-Initiated Task Creation
With permissions set by administrators, guards can now create tasks directly from the app. This gives them the flexibility to manage their on-site responsibilities more effectively and respond to evolving needs in real time.
Visitor and Contact Labels
Labeling visitor and contact entries is now faster and more consistent. Guards can apply predefined labels or create new ones within the Visitor Manager and Parking Manager contacts. This helps categorize records more effectively for future reference.
Emergency Contact Relationship Field
The guard profile now includes a dedicated field to specify the relationship of the emergency contact. This small but important update provides admins with clearer context in case of an emergency.
Recurring Reminders
Guards can now create recurring reminders that repeat weekly, monthly, or yearly. This improvement ensures that regular responsibilities, like equipment checks or scheduled reports, are never missed.
License Plate Scanning in Parking Manager
Searching for vehicles just got easier. Guards can now scan license plates using their device’s camera to locate entries in the Parking Manager list. This eliminates manual entry and accelerates parking enforcement operations.
Why GuardsPro Guard App 8.3.0 Matters
