Police Response & False Alarms


The ACPOS policy sets out standards for Police response to an intruder alarm. In general the Police will only respond to an Intruder Alarm if there has been confirmation a crime is being committed. This can be verified by the usage of confirmation technology within the alarm system and the services of an Alarm Monitoring Centre (ARC) to verify.


In general Police response will be withdrawn if continual false alarms are encountered. To re-establish site response the intruder alarm will have to be upgraded to confirmation technology and confirmed by an approved Supplier. King Communications been approved by SSAIB to do this.
