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.

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.

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.

    02:18:23

    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. 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. 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. 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.

    11:30:00

    Same door. Same camera. Nobody is coming.

    This is the part no security company in Calgary says out loud. Between seven in the morning and five in the afternoon a commercial intrusion alarm does not get police as first responders — verified or not, seven days a week.

    02:14 · TuesdayPolice dispatched

    Two zones inside thirty minutes. A verified activation, and a car is sent.

    The same rear door at 11:30 in the morning, propped open on a working day.
    11:30 · TuesdayNo police first response

    The identical alarm, nine hours later. Your keyholder attends, or nobody does.

    “Police will not be the first responders to commercial and financial intrusion alarms between 0700 hours to 1700 hours, 7 days per week.”

    If you run a business

    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

    If it’s your home

    Most break‑ins still come through the front door. 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 two in the morning.

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