A response is critical
every time an alarm is activated.
Have peace of mind knowing any type of alarm security breach, threat or
concern is responded to with the Alarm Response Program, supported by Securitas.
Alarm Response Program by JM™ Risk Services
False alarms can put stress on any security system and cost you time and additional expenses. However, an alarm not responded to can put your business at risk. If you respond to an alarm alone, you are putting your safety in jeopardy. With the Alarm Response Program, part of our JM™ Risk Services, a trained security officer will respond to all your alarms.
We joined with Securitas, a highly regarded global leader in protective services, to make the Alarm Response Program available to all jewelers, including those not currently insured with us, at a reduced cost. Plus, no additional monthly retainer fee.
The Alarm Response Program is a small investment in your future safety. Take comfort knowing security officers are ready and able to respond to any type of alarm security breach, threat or concern.
Avoid costly expenses associated with law enforcement responding to false alarms.
Save time and take comfort in knowing an experienced security officer can handle the routine case of alarms and be able to respond quickly.
Feel confident in 24/7 alarm dispatch capabilities.
Service Locations
The Alarm Response Program supported by Securitas is available throughout the U.S.

How the Alarm Response Program works
- In the event your alarm is activated, a Securitas security officer in your area is dispatched to your location.
- The responding officer investigates the area and enacts the proper response by contacting your alarm monitoring company and local law enforcement as needed.
- The security officer completes a report with details of the alarm response and takes photos of the protected location.

How will I be notified if there is an alarm at my business after hours?
You can work directly with your alarm company to set up how you and Securitas are specifically notified. For example, you may instruct your alarm company to notify you and Securitas for each alarm – the alarm company should honor this request.
What information will be provided from Securitas to the alarm company?
Securitas will contact your alarm company with the disposition of the alarm. Securitas will not contact you – it’s the responsibility of the alarm company to call you in these situations.
