How To Get The Police To Your Door First!
According to the United States Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, just under $2 billion was spent dispatching police with between 94% and 98% being false alarms.
With such a large loss, municipalities have worked to reduce the number of dispatches for false alarms.
Here is the SIMPLEST WAY to get the police to your house when you actually need it!
Make sure you have perimeter AND interior sensors!!!
The key to this is giving the monitoring station the ability to prove the alarm is legitimate.
You can prove that someone has broken through a door or window AND entered the inside of the property by having contacts, glass break sensors and a motion sensor inside.
If someone breaks the glass, the glass break sensor will catch it. Once they enter the house, the motion sensor catches them. That is 2 zones.
If someone breaks the glass without a glass break sensor and walks inside tripping a motion sensor, most municipalities will deem that as most likely a false alarm. That is only 1 zone that proves there was movement inside but no perimeter zones were detected
Bonus: Here is the BEST way to get the police to your house swiftly!
Have cameras that verify alarm signals!!!
We can setup exterior and/or interior cameras connected to the monitoring station. That arms them with live and recorded footage. This helps the monitoring station verify alarms to police dispatch that can help jump you to higher priority!
These systems are custom designed to your home or business that adds a layer of security, major deterrence and the fastest police response possible.
The key to quick police dispatch is proof that an intruder has indeed broken into your home or business. Multiple alarm sensors is crucial and video verified alarms are the best!
