Perfection can only be achieved by a systematic supervision and proper recording. In NEST, we have arranged various stages of supervision, inspection, monitoring and recording system depending on the strength of the post, nature of duty desired by the client and the modus operand, planned by the Head Quarter to meet the above requirements. The details are as follows:

Field Supervision:
Depending on the strength of the post and the nature of duty, we suggest to our clients to employ guard supervisors/guard commanders to supervise the guards on duty. The supervisor’s duty is to ensure that the guards perform duty properly and remain alert. Usually the guard supervisors do shift duties along with the guards. The guard supervisor’s duty includes maintenance of duty roster and post register in the post, visitor’s record, any special instruction from the authority etc. He is also responsible to the Security Inspectors for reporting any incident/occurrence.

Area Level Supervision:
We have divided Dhaka city into various areas for our operational purpose. Each area is under a Security Inspector who co-ordinates all operational activities of his area. He also maintain liaison with the clients and pay regular visit to the posts. During his visit to a post he has to check the guards, listen to the post supervisor (if posted), and sign and write his remark on the post register, on return from inspection, he has to discuss the irregularities with the NEST authority and record his observations in the inspection register.

Managers’ Inspection:
Manager inspects the posts depending on the importance of the post and prevailing security situation.

Surprise Checking:
It is carried out by the duty officer without any prior notice. Sometimes the Directors and the MD visit the sensitive and important posts to keep themselves abreast with the actual situation on the ground. We also carry out surprise checking as an immediate response to the client’s complaining.

Night Checking:
NEST Headquarters arranges night checking everyday by the duty inspectors. The duty roster for night checking is planned by the office.

Monitoring:
Since ours is a service company, we have a round the clock monitoring system in our Headquarter. We have duty inspector at night with a number of telephones. He has specific instruction to contact the MD in case of emergency. At night, we always have stand by vehicles with driver at NEST Headquarter and number of reserve guards to meet unforeseen situations.

Control Room:
NEST control room functions round the clock 365 days of the year and staffed by a duty personnel, who remains in communication with the posts through a network of telephone and mobile phone.

Respond to Security Threats :
