A Verified Response is critical in Vancouver because it provides police with live, visual confirmation of a crime in progress. This elevates the call to the highest priority, ensuring a faster police dispatch.
If you run a business in Vancouver, you have likely worried about what happens when your security alarm actually goes off. Will the police arrive quickly? Will they arrive at all? The unfortunate reality is that traditional alarms are often ignored. That is where a "Verified Response" changes everything. It is not just a feature, it is the single most important factor for effective security in the Lower Mainland. A verified response is the difference between telling the Vancouver Police Department "an alarm is ringing" and telling them "we are watching a person with a crowbar trying to force open the back door right now." One is a guess, the other is actionable intelligence. This verification is what turns a low-priority nuisance into a high-priority crime in progress, compelling a fast and effective police dispatch. Our live video monitoring and false alert filtering systems provide this critical verification.
Police departments across Metro Vancouver are strained by the sheer volume of false alarms from conventional security systems. In fact, a 2024 review of dispatch data confirmed that over 96% of all intrusion alarm calls are false. This has created a severe case of "alarm fatigue," forcing police to deprioritize these calls to save resources for genuine emergencies. Furthermore, municipalities like the City of Vancouver impose steep fines for repeated false alarms, meaning your old security system could be costing you money without providing real protection. A verified response system completely avoids this problem.
Our verification process is designed to be fast, accurate, and provide police with the concrete evidence they need to act. It is a human-led process, enhanced by technology, that guarantees we never waste police time and your incident always gets the attention it deserves.
When our AI detects a potential threat, it does not just send an automated alert. It instantly streams the live video to a trained security agent in our Western Canada command centre. This agent assesses the situation in seconds. They can distinguish between a trespasser and a stray animal, or between a real threat and a plastic bag blowing in the wind. This human oversight is the key to eliminating false alarms.
Once the agent visually confirms a crime is in progress, they immediately contact the Vancouver Police or relevant RCMP detachment. They provide the dispatcher with critical, real-time information: the number of suspects, their location, their actions, and descriptions. This transforms the call from a vague alarm to a verified report that police can trust and act upon with urgency and improved safety.
Choosing a security service with a verified response protocol delivers tangible benefits that directly impact your safety and your bottom line.
Priority Police Dispatch. Our verified calls are treated as crimes in progress, receiving a much higher priority in the dispatch queue than any unverified alarm system.
Higher Apprehension Rates. Because police arrive faster and with better information, the chances of catching criminals in the act increase dramatically. This not only stops the immediate threat but deters future attempts.
Total Elimination of False Alarm Fines. We never call the police unless we see a real crime. This simple fact means you will never have to pay a false alarm fine to the City of Vancouver again. Your security budget goes towards actual security, not penalties.
In Vancouver's challenging security landscape, a verified response is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Protect your business with a system that police trust. Let us show you how our verification process leads to real results and unparalleled peace of mind.
