Alarm Response
Leaving premises unattended can be worry as any property owner knows. When it is unattended it can be vulnerable to criminal acts or false alarms. Attending alarm activations, even if it is just a false alarm, can be daunting for individuals as they do not know what to expect when they get there. It could make for a risky situation.
Another problem area are activated alarms which remain unattended as they can be an advertisement that no one is home and are a potential magnet to burglars. This is where Assured 24 comes in. Once we are appointed your key holders there will be no need to impose on your employees, neighbours or friends to respond to potentially dangerous situations.

If it is a break in, we will liaise with the emergency services, advise you on the situation and before we leave, ensure that your property is re-secured.

Recent changes in the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland (ACPOS) Policy regarding the Police response to intruder alarm systems:
There are three levels of response determined by the ACPOS policy:
- Level One – priority
- Level Two - desirable but dependent on resources
- Level Three - no Police response (key holder attendance required)
If there are four false calls in a twelve-month period, response is reduced to Level Two. To return to Level One, the system problem must be rectified and remain false alarm free for three months. Where a further three false calls occur in the same twelve month period, Level Three occurs.
