RESPONSE AND GUARDS

Response

Response to alarm systems can be carried out by patrols. These generally operate after hours and specialise in a localised area. CMS utilises the company best suited for the time, area and alarm. AS/NZS 4421:2011 details the type of response for the risk. Pre-planning the use of mobile patrols as a response to an alarm condition should be covered as part of your risk plan.

Guards

Guards where the risk of the premises is such that mobile response or reliance is deemed insufficient a permanent guard should be covered.
