A monitored alarm system is only as good as the alarm response resulting
from its activation. Alarm response will take the form of private
security, law enforcement, or both, responding to a burglar alarm call.
Depending on where you live, many law enforcement agencies classify
unverified burglar alarm activations as low priority calls, often
resulting in a delayed (hours) or no-show response.
Security companies offer different forms of alarm response with armed or
unarmed officers and type of investigation at the location of an alarm
activation . A professionally trained alarm response officer, who does a
thorough perimeter check of a property for signs of a break-in,
vandalism or trespassing, will be able to provide a more accurate
assessment of an alarm call than an officer that does a drive-by (only
checks the front of a location from the street, does not exit his/her
vehicle and does not perform a perimeter check for signs of intrusion).
Drive-by alarm response is basically worthless, since it leaves the most
critical areas of a home or business unchecked, while eliminating the
responding officer’s ability to verify that an actual crime is, has, or
hasn’t taken place. Management Security Alarm Response provides the added
benefit of insulating alarm owners from expensive false alarm fines
imposed by law enforcement.
Management Security offers the most effective type of alarm response
available to its customers. Remember, a monitored alarm system without
reliable alarm response means that no one may respond, or, if someone
does respond, it may be hours later and it might be done without a
thorough investigation. Contact Management Security now for a quote on
alarm response you can count on.
