If an incident report cannot answer these questions, it is not finished.

What happened?
When?
Where?

That's just the beginning.

A property manager should not have to call the security company just to figure out what the incident report means.

Save this checklist or share it with another property manager.

10/07/2026

If your security reports only tell you what happened, they may be missing the most useful part.

Knowing that something happened matters. But then what?

> Was it resolved?
> Does somebody need to follow up?
> Has it happened before?
> Is there a pattern?
> Does the property need to change something?

A good report should help answer those questions.

Otherwise, the property manager is left doing the interpretation.

Save this for your next vendor review or share it with another property manager.

The problem is not always what happened last night. Sometimes it is what has been happening every Tuesday for three months.

One issue may be random.

The fifth one probably deserves attention.

That is why security reports should not live in isolation.

Someone should be looking for patterns.

Same place.
Same time.
Same type of problem.
Same complaint.

Otherwise, the property manager may be the first person who notices the connection.

Ask your security company:

“How do you track recurring issues across multiple reports?”

Save this for your next vendor review or share it with another property manager.

Two words can make a security report sound reassuring while telling you almost nothing.

“All clear.”

Okay. But what was actually checked?

> What did the officer see?
> Were the problem areas inspected?
> Was anything unusual?
> Did anything change?

A good report should give you useful information without making you call the security company just to understand what happened.

“All clear” is fine. But it should not be the whole story.

Save this for your next vendor review or share it with another property manager.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department is investigating a series of burglaries and an attempted burglary reported between Sept. 30 and Oct. 4 in the Soulard, Compton Heights, Shaw, and Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhoods.

According to SLMPD, the incidents occurred primarily between 1:00 and 4:00 a.m., and investigators believe the same suspect may be connected to multiple incidents. In at least two cases, the suspect reportedly entered occupied homes while residents were asleep.

GCI Security encourages residents and property managers to take a few extra precautions:

- Lock doors and windows before going to bed
- Keep exterior areas well lit
- Make sure cameras and alarm systems are working properly
- Do not leave keys or valuables visible near entrances
- Report suspicious activity immediately
- Do not confront suspicious persons

If you see someone checking doors, looking into homes, or acting suspiciously, call 911 immediately.

Please share this with anyone living or working in the affected neighborhoods.

Stay alert. Stay safe.

If you are paying for managed security, there are a few things you should not have to manage yourself.

You should not have to catch every problem.

Chase every answer.

Review every weak report.

Remind somebody to follow up.

Or repeatedly explain the same expectations.

That is what the management side of a security service is supposed to help with.

Officers matter, but so do supervision, communication, training, reporting, coaching, and accountability around them.

Ask yourself:

How much time are we spending managing our security company?

The answer may tell you a lot.

Save this or share it with another property manager.

Most property managers are told their account is supervised.

But what does that actually mean?

Good field supervision should:

Check performance.

Reinforce expectations.

Catch problems.

Coach officers.

Inspect the post.

Follow up.

The visit is not the value.

What changes because of it is.

Save this before your next vendor meeting.

09/22/2026

Most property managers are told their account is supervised. Far fewer are told what that supervision is actually supposed to accomplish.

“Yep, we have supervisors.”

Okay. That tells you nothing.

> What do they actually do?
> Do they check officer performance?
> Review post expectations?
> Inspect equipment?
> Catch problems?
> Provide coaching?
> Follow up afterward?

A supervisor driving through the parking lot is not the same thing as supervising the account.

Save this for your next vendor review or share it with another property manager.

09/21/2026

Every shift can be covered and your security program can still be poorly managed.

An officer showing up is only the beginning.

> Who checks the work?
> Who reviews the reports?
> Who catches repeated problems?
> Who talks to the officer when performance slips?
> Who notices when the property's needs change?

If the answer is usually your property team, the schedule may be filled but the account is not being managed very well.

Save this or share it with another property manager.
