Questions and answers
- How do the prices compare?
- OfficerReports charges per site with unlimited officers: $70 to $60 per site a month for standard sites. Guardix charges per user: $8.99 to $19.99 per user a month. Per-site pricing tends to suit many officers on few sites; per-user pricing tends to suit fewer officers across many sites. Work out both with your own numbers.
- Does OfficerReports have dispatch?
- We did not find a dispatch feature on its website on October 27, 2026. Guardix has dispatch from its Professional plan and an optional 24/7 managed dispatch team.
