Alarm Response
First on-scene, credentialed, empowered to act.
What this covers
False alarms cost Canadian businesses over $30M/year in municipal fines and wasted police responses. We solve this with camera-verified dispatch — every activation is visually confirmed before rolling a vehicle, and every response ends with a signed occurrence report.
If the alarm is real, our officers are trained to secure the perimeter, coordinate with police, and remain on-site until keyholders arrive. If it's false, we reset the panel and log the cause.
24/7 dispatch, average sub-10 minute urban response, camera verification, and standardised handover to police.
From walkthrough to first shift.
Every alarm response deployment follows the same four-step engagement — no short-cuts, no template quotes, no officer placed on a site they've never walked.
A regional supervisor visits your site, interviews stakeholders, and documents current pain points, existing systems, and shift patterns.
We draft a site-specific Standard Operating Procedure — post orders, escalation ladder, uniform posture, reporting cadence — and review it with your team before deployment.
Officers are hand-picked from our regional roster based on skill fit, language requirements, and prior experience with your industry. No random assignments.
Coverage begins on the agreed date, with the first two weeks audited by the regional supervisor. We course-correct in real time — not at a quarterly review.
