The complete guide to running a strike on StrikeLeap.

Officers clear four gates once, at the trailer on mobilization day: drug test, state license, uniform issued, and any custom gate the client demands. The Check-In board on the manager's screen shows who is pending, cleared, or blocked. Once a gate is cleared it stays cleared for the engagement — no per-shift re-screen. A PIN-locked kiosk tablet and magic-link invites for external contractors (the drug-test attendant, the uniform vendor) cover whatever staffing model the firm uses.

Each officer's profile carries identity, role, pay rate, the four onboarding gates, current hotel room with key tag, this-week earnings, all-time earnings, every shift with hours and per-diem accrued, the per-diem ledger, and the audit trail of every write across every feature. Click an officer's name from anywhere — check-in board, hotel roster, incident report, supervisor queue — and the same record opens.

Paste the room list from the hotel — fifty rooms in one paste, key tags and all. Auto-pair groups officers by gender (hard block), then site, then role. Day-vs-night shift shows on every badge so you can hand-swap. Every open bed has a manual Assign button. When the weekly hotel folio arrives, drop it: the matcher reconciles every charge to a known officer and flags the variances.

The three forms every firm hands every officer on day one — Payroll Master, Work Rules, Vehicle Agreement. Issued from the dashboard, signed in person with the SM present, initials per clause, typed name and signature line, IP and timestamp stamped. Auto-distributed to whoever's on the leadership list when signed. Templates are customizable per org; the platform locks your version-1 wording in so every officer signs the same document.

Every engagement has one or more Sites (a physical location). Each Site has Posts — specific positions you place on the map (Gate 2, Driveway North, Loading Bay 1). Guards check into Posts, not into Sites. The map shows every active Post in real time. Mapbox-backed; we license the tiles; you don't need an account.

The atomic unit of strike-line observation. Officer taps a button, takes a photo, picks a headcount bucket, picks a sentiment (calm / agitated / hostile), and adds a 1-line note. Filed in under 20 seconds from the post phone. Auto-stamped with GPS, time, officer ID, and post.

A heavier-weight record for anything that may end up in front of a lawyer. Type, severity, photos, witness officer IDs, narrative, chain-of-custody entries. Triggers a real-time push to the supervisor. Every incident becomes a numbered exhibit in the legal export.

The panic button. One tap on the officer's phone alerts every supervisor with the post location and the officer's identity. Supervisor acknowledges, then closes from the dashboard. Used for situations that need a body in 60 seconds, not a written record in 5 minutes.

Standard tier and up. Browser WebRTC voice — guards open the voice tab and a button becomes a walkie-talkie. No radio license needed. Channels are partitioned per-Site with an all-Sites Supervisor channel. Client POCs and attorneys can join listen-only on a one-click manager grant. Audio is encrypted in transit (SRTP) and is not recorded by default.

The daily roster sheet that replaces the paper SitRep. The Site Lead drafts. The Command Post verifies. The Site Manager signs. Each transition is audit-logged. Adjustments to hours are tracked per officer. No Excel, no email-the-PDF-around ritual.

Tonight's situation report — incidents, crowd updates, supervisor requests, photos. The PDF goes to the client at 1900 with one click. Auto-created on first view per (site, date) — no manual create step.

Clock-in / clock-out from the officer portal. Configurable per-site rounding window — within ±N minutes of scheduled, the platform snaps to the schedule (no penalty for a few minutes early or late, no padding for a few minutes long). Each clock-in snapshots the officer's role pay rate so a mid-engagement rate change doesn't retroactively alter history. Per-diem accrues by role policy: clock-in, clock-out, or roster.

A weekly preview that rolls up every officer's hours, hours-wage, per-diem, and total for the week. CSV export, payroll-ready. The per-diem ledger drills further: arrival/departure ranges per officer per engagement, dispersal preview, paid stamp, audit trail.

Thirteen-category capture matching the Holy Boble taxonomy (fuel, tolls, misc, evidence, license/drug-test, vehicle rental, hotel folio, hotel summary). Officers submit out-of-pocket receipts from the guard portal — gas, tolls, license fees, misc — and the SM approves or denies inline. Approved receipts roll into the weekly expense PDF in category order, replacing the Monday-morning PDFSAM ritual.

When the weekly hotel folio arrives, drop the PDF. The matcher reconciles every charge to a known officer, flags variances (wrong count of nights, mystery name, rate mismatch), and builds the dispute letter for the hotel. Resolution states tracked per entry: matched, partial (variance reason captured), unmatched, resolved.

Private read-only links the firm shares with the client's risk-management team and labor counsel. No StrikeLeap login. They see a filtered live view (your firm controls what's visible), receive the daily situation report by email, and can download the legal export at any time during the engagement.

The first time you sign in after payment, a six-step wizard walks you through: welcome, name the event, add the first site, configure Check-In, invite guards, recap. Each step saves; close the tab and it resumes where you stopped. Posts are placed later on the per-site page with a click-to-pin map workflow.
