Alarm Response Services
Rapid Security Guard Response to Alarm Activations
Immediate dispatch of trained security professionals to alarm activations. We respond faster than police-only alarm monitoring, assess the situation, secure the property, and coordinate with law enforcement if necessary – providing faster, more reliable response than traditional alarm monitoring alone.
Why Alarm Response Service?
The Problem with Police-Only Response:
• Police prioritize alarms below emergency calls
• Average police response time: 30-45+ minutes
• Many jurisdictions charge false alarm fees
• After multiple false alarms, police may stop responding
• Property remains vulnerable until police arrive
The Alarm Response Solution:
• Security guards respond in 5-15 minutes average
• Immediate property assessment and securing
• Police only called if actual emergency exists
• Reduces false alarm fees significantly
• Professional security presence until situation resolved
