- 2
The activation may be verified
The control room may contact the client using the details held for the property to verify the activation.
- 3
A property check may be requested
If the client cannot be reached, or asks for the property to be checked, a response vehicle may be dispatched.

A response officer checks the property
The response officer can inspect the property and investigate signs of suspicious activity.
Alarm monitoring
Alarm monitoring allows Premier Security's control room to receive signals from a client alarm system. Following an activation, the control room may contact the client using the information held for the property.
An alarm signal does not mean that every event follows exactly the same sequence. The available contact details, keyholder information and access instructions help the control room handle the activation correctly.
Armed Response for homes and businesses
Premier Security provides this service in residential and commercial contexts. A response officer may be sent to check a home or business when the circumstances require a property check.
