Trained Officers for Rapid Emergency Action

First Response Security offers 24/7 protection with real-time alarm monitoring, immediate response dispatch, and coordination with law enforcement and emergency services. We keep property owners and managers informed with continuous communication, ensuring reliable, around-the-clock security.
Real-Time Alarm Monitoring

24/7 Security Coverage When an incident occurs, a First Response Security officer is immediately dispatched to your location. (Local authorities may also be called on if a threat is immediately verified by our monitoring systems.) Upon arrival, the First Response officer will assess the scene and conduct a thorough preliminary evaluation of the surroundings. The officer also performs an exterior check of the property, carefully inspecting for signs of forced entry or suspicious activity. If evidence of a break-in is found, they’ll notify local law enforcement to initiate an interior patrol and begin the process of filing an official police report.

Our smoke detector can be triggered by either smoke or extremes in temperature, allowing it to respond more quickly during a fire. It uses photoelectric technology, which means that there is a small light as well as a photosensor inside the sensor. Smoke entering the chamber will cause the light to refract, striking the photosensor. For heat detection, our sensor utilizes both fixed temperature (135°F) and rate-of-rise (15°F rise per minute w/ temperature above 104°F) detection. With one-go-all-go technology, you can trust your family is safe with our smoke detector.
