How security's daily records become intelligence for property decisions

5 Manhattan West · Designed and built by Jonathan R. Parham, Account Manager / Security Director, Allied Universal
01 · The Whole Process

From the Fire Command Center to the Decision Table

FLSDs file records of the work they already do. The Oversight tool consolidates and reads them, the Security Director reviews them, and property management decides what to act on. No new data collection was required.

The Work and the Forms

Fire Life Safety Directors run the Fire Command Center around the clock in three 8-hour tours: Day 0700–1500, Afternoon 1500–2300 and Night 2300–0700. Every report they file records work they already do. More than 340 End-of-Shift reports have been filed since April 2026.

Two Ways In

FLSD Supervisor Console

End-of-Shift, elevator and incident reports. Each submission is synced, timestamped, attributed by name and locked against later edits.

Reconciler

Resolver entries, emails, photos and meeting notes. Each item is filed under the area it belongs to, such as elevator or alarm.

What the Oversight Tool Does

The tool brings every record into one database, then reads, counts and tracks it. The Security Director reviews everything before any report leaves.

04 · Output

What It Produces

A weekly report for action and a monthly bulletin for trends, both built from the same reviewed record.

After the first monthly bulletin, CBRE's Senior Property Manager asked that the format stay as it is.

05 · Business Intelligence

How the Output Is Used

Security's records become business intelligence when they answer questions owned by someone other than security. The reports supply the facts; property management draws the conclusions and makes the decisions.

Question the record answersData that answers itWho acts on it
Is a building condition getting better or worse?Monthly counts by event typeProperty management
Which car, device or floor keeps failing?Repeats by locationProperty management, engineering, elevator vendor
Was the fix made, and did it hold?Open conditions tracked to verified closureProperty management, engineering
Did the weekly asks get done?Action-item recordProperty management
What will the next quarter or year look like?Stored record across periodsProperty management, ownership

Making It Smarter

The record today is built from officer reports. Three steps would strengthen it.

  1. Feed access-control, fire-alarm panel and elevator-monitoring events into the same record, so officer reports and system data confirm each other.
  2. Align event categories with a portfolio standard, so 5 Manhattan West can be compared with other properties.
  3. Add a forward look to the monthly bulletin: what next month may look like if nothing changes.
