Introduction

The regulations of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) state that alarm keyholders must be capable of attending their premises within twenty minutes of an alarm being activated.

The Police are extremely busy, and through operational demands are not able to attend many alarm activations.

With Health & Safety at work act 1974 and the management of Health & Safety at work regulations 1999 requiring high standards of care in particular for lone workers Swift Security offers a service which ensures that your key staff is not placed at risk by attending alarm activations alone.

For the uninitiated, there are few more unsettling experiences than entering a building in the middle of the night, not knowing what to expect, or disturbing an intruder.

Would you really want to be dragged out of bed and called to your premises in the dead of the night when the chances are it could be a false alarm, figures indicate that 90% of alarm activations are false.

Alarm Response & Keyholding Service

For less than £1.00 per day, Swift Security can attend to your alarm activations. On arrival, our officer will inspect the exterior of the building for signs of a break-in. if there is any indication that the security has been breeched, will notify the police and await their arrival. Arrange for the building to be secured and notify your nominated contact.

If a false alarm, we will reset the alarm, secure the building and notify you the next working day.

You won’t have to be called out, we take over the responsibility.
