1. Location review
The Alarm Response Program supported by Securitas is available throughout major metropolitan areas in the US.
We will review your location and verify eligibility based on if you are included in one of the over 11,000 serviceable areas.
2. Participation agreement
You will receive a one-year participation agreement to complete and sign along with an invoice for the reduced service cost of $599.40 (US) yearly, plus tax.
Plus, when you take advantage of this service through our Alarm Response Program, we waive the additional monthly retainer fee for a total savings of $800-$1,200 or more a year.
3. Enrollment
The first step once you’re in the program is to contact your existing alarm monitoring service and request that Securitas be added as first call, in addition to who you already have dedicated as first call.
This ensures Securitas is dispatched, and you will be notified of the alarm activation by your monitoring company.
If you have questions or are interested in the program, please contact the Loss Prevention team at [email protected].
We will verify if service is available in your area.

How soon will service be available after I sign up for the program?
After we receive your completed and signed participation agreement and make payment, program enrollment with alarm response service will start within approximately 10 business days. We will email you with your service effective date once your program enrollment is confirmed with Securitas.
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.
How soon will Securitas arrive at my business after an alarm is activated?
Response times may vary, but in most cases a Securitas security officer is able to respond in 40 minutes or less.
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.
