We verify alarms for faster police response time
Inundated by false alarms from traditional burglar alarm companies, many municipalities have established criteria for substantiating a break-in before they will dispatch officers.  Some cities have enacted "enhanced call verification" policies and others levy significant fines for false alarms.

The Difference is alarm Verification
To date, more than 27 cities have adopted Verified Response policies. Each city’s policy varies slightly, but nearly all of them require two components.

Before the police will dispatch, alarm owners and/or private security companies must:
(1) Verify the alarm is not false and
(2) Verify an intrusion is actually taking place.

Cities with this policy require verification either through an eyewitness, a private security guard or electronic surveillance (audio and/or video).

The Experts in Verification
The focus of our Operations Center is early detection and verification of alarms from the sites we monitor in Everett, Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and Boise. If an activation signal is received from your protected facility, our expert sound analysts verify the signal through audio and/or video technology.  Our focus on eliminating false alarms is so great we include a false alarm fine guarantee in our Commitment to  Service.  If you get a false alarm fine caused by Sonitrol Pacific, we'll take care of it.
