WHAT IS THE PRIORITY RESPONSE?

​

The priority response results in a faster dispatch of the police, more arrests and more apprehensions.

​

The priority response is a process adopted by law enforcement and dispatch teams. This means that the video-verified alarms are considered crimes in progress, and the police are immediately sent to the scene.

​

Not only does this enhance the value of video alarm systems, but it also benefits the entire community with:

​

• Better protection for customers.

• Better information for justice officers responding to potentially dangerous situations.

• Less losses and reduced payments for insurers.

• And ... more arrests, more regularly.

​

In the United States the impact is undeniable.

• Priority response to Phoenix = 40 arrests in 4 months

• Priority response to Detroit = ​​101 dispatches, 70 arrests, 123 apprehended

• Priority response in Seattle = 11 dispatches, 11 arrests

• Priority response to Fort Worth = 1 night, 2 alarms, 4 arrests, in 8 hours

​

Audited video alarms have been proven to reduce false alarms, increase arrest rates and, ultimately, help maximize the value of the consumer's investment in their security solution. In fact, the largest video-monitored 24hrs remote monitoring centers distribute less than 3% of all signals received in their monitoring center, eliminating almost all false alarm fines for their customers. Arrest rates also make the difference for the end user. Video-verified alarms have documented arrest rates in excess of 10% - eclipsing the 0.08% arrest rate for traditional alarms, making them less attractive targets for crime.
