Fill the open post before the shift starts
A security company sells coverage. An unfilled post at 11pm is a contract problem, not just a scheduling one. Airhorn sends the coverage request to every qualified officer at once, any hour.
What security companies broadcast
- Open posts. “Open post tonight 11p–7a, [site area]. Armed not required. Reply YES.”
- Site updates — new access procedures, a client request, an event on site.
- Weather and emergencies affecting a site.
- License and training reminders — renewals, mandatory training dates.
- Payroll and timesheet deadlines.
24/7 sending
Non-urgent broadcasts written overnight are held until 8am, so off-duty officers aren’t woken by a memo. Coverage requests and emergencies marked urgent go out immediately, day or night.
Groups by site and qualification
On Plus, group officers by site, by shift, or by qualification, so an armed post request goes only to officers who can take it.
Keep client-sensitive details out of broadcasts. Name the area, not the access codes. Send specifics one-on-one or through your guard management system.
