Alarm Response Services in BC — Common Questions
What happens when my alarm goes off?
Our dispatch receives the activation, an officer is assigned, and they attend the site, conduct an exterior and (where authorised) interior check, determine whether a genuine breach has occurred, secure the premises if a door or window has been forced, and escalate to police when warranted. You receive a written report with photographs after every attendance, including false alarms.
Can you act as keyholder for my business?
Yes. Keyholding is a standard part of our alarm response service and is often the main reason businesses hire us — it means your staff are not being woken at 3am to drive across the city for what is usually a false activation. Keys are held securely and access is logged on every use.
How fast do you respond to alarms?
Response time depends on your location and the time of night, and we quote it honestly per site rather than advertising a single provincial number. Because we run mobile patrols overnight in most of the regions we serve, a vehicle is frequently already in your area rather than starting from a depot.
Do you charge for false alarms?
Attendances are billed per call-out whether or not the activation turns out to be genuine — the officer still drives out and checks the building. If you are getting frequent false activations we will tell you what is causing them, because repeat false alarms also expose you to municipal fines in many BC jurisdictions.
Do I need an alarm monitoring contract to use your response service?
No. We can act as the response and keyholding arm alongside whichever monitoring provider you already use, or alongside our own 24/7 monitoring service. Many clients keep their existing alarm company and simply add us as the responding keyholder.
