Sacramento Changes Alarm Response Policy

Sacramento County Sheriff Alarm Response Policy
Currently Central Station facilities across the country are beginning to see more response agencies going to a policy of not responding to alarm activations unless they are verified. This is being done due to nationwide budget cuts within state government agencies. This means that in order for police to respond a guard service or video verification of an actual event must be made prior to a dispatch unit being sent.

In my opinion this will lead to increased criminal activities in these areas until the security systems are updated to meet these requirements. While this will likely lead to increased security sales many dispatch agencies are not giving local business enough time to meet these requirements leading to a gap in protection.
