With the ever increase in theft and burglaries today alarm services and especially businesses, patrol services are an absolute must. This article will tell you just why it's important to have these measures in place.
Alarm Services: Often reports of False alarms
With false alarms being raised often due to triggered alarms or false neighbour reports, this can add up to endless amounts of charges by the responding Police. So how can you combat this?
Alarm systems will always do the job they're meant to do if triggered but without the aid of a guard/patrol response you'll be unable to detect if it was a false or real alarm. This is where security officers or even manned guards are usually brought in.
Security Guards and Manned Guarding
Security Officers, Manned Guards and security patrol units have been in place for many years to ensure the security of a commercial property or building, although most of the time bigger companies can afford to have 24/7 manned security officers which can respond to an onsite alarm trigger within seconds sometimes the cost of this can add up.
If you're a small company or even a home owner you can now get emergency response patrol officers which are only called out to an alarm raise, once the security system is triggered the security head centre is then prompted to take immediate action. With watch over the building via security cameras they can determine if the alarm was a false trigger in which a patrol officer will be called out or a robbery in which the police will be notified ASAP.
Patrol Units & the types of protection
