City of Calgary · Alarm Services Bylaw 31M95

We build the alarm police actually come to.

In Calgary a single‑zone alarm may never be dispatched — and commercial alarms get no police first response between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., seven days a week. Verification is the whole difference.

Live dispatch log

The interval

Your alarm goes off. Now what?

Calgary’s bylaw gives you thirty minutes and three ways out of them. Move the clock. Change the premises. Watch who comes.

02:14

On file & on scene
Verified 02:14

Police are dispatched.

A second zone tripped inside the thirty‑minute window. Under the bylaw that is a verified activation.

Dispatch log

    Panic, hold‑up and duress alarms, confirmed criminal activity and public‑safety concerns always receive a response. This is a plain‑language model of the published dispatch criteria, not legal advice.

    Verification

    Three ways out of the interval.

    The bylaw names exactly three. We build the first two into the system on the day we install it — because an unverified alarm also bills us.

    1. 01

      A second zone, inside thirty minutes

      Two independent detections say someone is in there. Zone coverage is a design decision made at install — not an upsell made after a break‑in.

      We install this
    2. 02

      Two keyholders, actually reached

      Enhanced call verification. It fails on stale phone numbers, so we keep the list current — a lapsed keyholder is the difference between a cruiser and a voicemail.

      We maintain this
    3. 03

      A guard, standing at the door

      A guard service confirms it in person. We do not run guards — and we will tell you plainly when that is the route your site actually needs.

      Not our trade

    Who we protect

    Two buildings. Two very different clocks.

    Commercial

    The workday is the exposure.

    Your shop, warehouse, yard or office gets no police first response between 07:00 and 17:00 — seven days a week. Not a rumour, not a rare exception. It is written into the dispatch criteria.

    So we design commercial systems around what a dispatcher can act on: overlapping zones, cameras on the approaches, a keyholder list that is current, and access control that logs who opened what.

    • Multi‑zone intrusion & commercial fire
    • Camera coverage on every approach
    • Access control, gates, overhead doors
    • Permit & keyholder records kept current

    Residential

    The front door is still the front door.

    Most break‑ins come through it. A siren on one contact is a single‑zone activation — the kind police may decline. A second detection changes what your alarm is worth at 2 a.m.

    We wire homes across Calgary’s northeast: intrusion, smoke, heat and CO, doorbell and yard cameras, smart locks you can open for a neighbour from a hotel in another country.

    • Intrusion, smoke, heat & carbon monoxide
    • Doorbell and yard cameras
    • Smart locks, keypads, fobs
    • Lights, thermostat, garage — one app

    Thirty minutes on site. We map the zones, find the approach a camera should be watching, and tell you honestly whether your alarm would bring anyone today. If the answer is yes, we will say so and leave.
