Venues, insurers and police do not work from a story told at 11:00 the next day.
A usable log has time, location, people, what was seen, what was done, and who was told. It is written before the officer leaves the car park. OnGuard treats that as part of the paid hour, not homework.
Ejections, medicals, thefts and alarm attendances all need the same spine. The tone is factual. No novels. No missing names.
Ask your current provider for last Saturday’s logs. The quality of that page is the quality of the company.
