How a Typical Response Works at First Response Security

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.
