The Patrol Ops app is a paperless patrol management suite produced by Surf Life Saving Australia for use by active surf lifesaving patrol members.
In this latest version of the app, active patrol members can:
* Sign on/off a patrol
* Update the status of your Club, Lifeguard or Lifesaving service
* Record and update patrol members attendance
* Record and update patrol statistics
* Log hazards (rip currents etc)
* Log the location of patrol assets (flags, tent etc)
* Log the location of hazards (stingers, dangerous surf etc)
* Log the location of incidents (rescues, first aids etc)
* Track the location of your Lifesaving service
At any time a patrol member can immediately update their local Surfcom of a change in patrol circumstances by updating the Patrol Status screen. For instance, if the beach is closed, if the IRB is put out of action or the number of patrol members changes - these can all be updated quickly and simply to Surfcom through the app.
In order to log into this app, an active Members Area account is required, which is available to all members of Clubs, Lifeguards and Lifesaving services. If you have a Members Area account but are not an active patrol member then you can still log in, although the patrol components will not be visible.
Please note that Victorian and Queensland clubs should not use this app for patrol management.
