Emergency Response

When an alarm signal is received and verified by our alarm monitoring center, the proper authorities are dispatched to your premises right away.

In the case of a fire alarm, the fire department is notified. Should a break-in be detected, you may have either your local police department respond or a private guard company respond. Depending in what region you live in, police often have a registration fee and a false alarm charge.   You may contact your local police,or SafeTech Alarms for the rates in your area.

For a low monthly fee, you may choose to be registered with a private guard service rather than using the police. In busy metropolitan areas, like Toronto, this may be a good choice. Most private guard service companies offer four free alarm dispatches per year where as the Toronto Police charge $80.00 per false alarm dispatch. In the case of Security Guards, all security officers are properly trained and fully equipped to handle any situation.

Once the police or guards arrive, they will conduct a perimeter check of your premises, looking for any visible signs of forced entry. If a break-in has occurred, the police or guards will notify the station, who will report their findings to you.

Private Security Guards:

SafeTech Alarm Systems' private guard division can have an on-site security guard posted at your home, place of business or special event.

Our paid duty officers have been used in a variety of ways to ensure the security of our clients and their property.  Some examples include:

• Securing family and guests at weddings.
• Securing crowd control at concerts.
• Keeping the peace on a picket line.
• Watching over a construction project.
• Securing entire buildings and parking lots and even chaperoning individuals
  to and from a special event.

There is no better substitute for the physical presence of a security guard.
