Police, insurers and security specialists all agree that the greatest improvement you can make to your home security is to link your security system to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) that can inform the Police if an intrusion takes place. The knowledge that the Police can be on scene within minutes is reassuring.

A fast response is crucial because:

Intruders have less time to cause loss or damage

Help can quickly arrive if a personal attack button is activated

By nominating friends, family or colleagues to act as keyholders, we know who is available to make sure your property is secured

Whatever the emergency in your home, with a Direct Response monitored system the help you need - from police and fire-fighters - can be with you fast.

Police Response

Following the latest guidelines issued by the ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers), many police forces will not attend alarms from non-monitored systems unless there's also first hand evidence of a crime, whether from an owner or a member of the public phoning in.

The police will attend an alarm signal, routed via an Alarm Receiving Centre, from a monitored alarm that qualifies for Police response.
