I get called in the middle of the night by my Alarm Centre advising that the intruder alarm at my business has activated and could I attend the site? Keyholding & Alarm Response Business Watch holds keys to your site, plus detailed assignment instructions relating to access codes, lock & unlock procedures and a layout of the building. We will despatch an SIA Licenced Security Officer in a highly visible patrol vehicle to your site. The officer will complete an exterior patrol of the site to look for signs of a break in and then enter the building, taking note from your intruder alarm panel of the activated area. Dependant upon the severity of the activation the officer may call for police assistance and your attendance. e.g. a break in or an intruder caught on site. In the event of a false alarm the officer would re-secure the building. The following morning you will receive an Incident Report detailing the cause of the activation and the actions taken by the security officer. Accompanied Attendance You may decide that rather than having a full Keyholding & Alarm Response service you may prefer to attend all Alarm Activations yourself but for your own security would like to be met by a Security Officer before entering your building. Ensure your company is complying with Health & Safety at Work 1974 and The Management of Health & Safety at Work regulations 1999. Product & Services - Business Watch 4
I believe that I need a service that offers a more pro-active approach than Keyholding & Alarm Response but I haven t the budget for CCTV Cameras or Security Officers. Mobile Patrols A visible deterrent, one of our fleet of high visibility mobile patrol vehicles will attend your site for up to 3 random visits per night with up to 6 visits in a 24 hour period at weekends and on Bank Holidays. During each visit the officer would externally patrol the site to check for signs of forced entry. Whilst patrolling, the officer would clock strategically placed electronic check points to provide you with a report detailing when he or she checked each area of the site. Coupled with the Keyholding & Alarm Response service, mobile patrols provide a totally pro-active security solution. 5 Product & Services - Business Watch
