An Alarm Tells You Something Happened. Not What.

When the alarm goes off at night, you have two choices: drive over and check it yourself, or wait and hope it was nothing. The alarm can't tell you whether it was a break-in, a door left open or a false trigger.

Alarm response puts a trained officer on it instead. A Rigid officer checks the property, deals with what they find and documents it, so you know what happened before you decide what to do next.

What Rigid's alarm response includes

  • Alarm response and investigation

  • Lock and unlock services

  • Marked security vehicles with GPS tracking

  • Digital reports with photo documentation

  • A 24/7 dispatch centre

  • Licensed and bonded officers

What Happens When Your Alarm Goes Off

Five steps, from the alarm to the report in your inbox.

  1. The call reaches dispatch

    When the alarm goes off at a property on your Rigid plan, the call goes to Rigid's 24/7 dispatch centre.

  2. An officer is sent

    Dispatch sends a licensed officer in a marked security vehicle with GPS tracking.

  3. The officer investigates

    They check the outside first, then the access points, and inside when access has been arranged with you.

  4. They act on what they find

    They secure and lock up, contact you, and call the police when the situation needs it.

  5. You get the report

    A digital report with photos of what the officer found, so you know exactly what happened.

When the situation is urgent, Rigid can deploy personnel within 2 hours.

Lock-Up, Unlock and Getting Back to Secure

An alarm call isn't finished until the property is secure again. Rigid offers lock and unlock services, so once the officer has checked the property, it is left locked and checked, not open until morning.

The officer checks the outside and the access points on every call. Inside checks happen when you have arranged access with Rigid, so settle that when you set up your plan. Lock and unlock services can sit in the same plan for regular opening and closing.

Before you set up alarm response, have ready:

  • Who Rigid should call when the alarm goes off, and in what order

  • How the officer gets inside, if you want inside checks

  • Your alarm system details and the zones it covers

  • The parts of the property that matter most to you
