Which alarms will patrols be dispatched to?

• A. Only burglar alarms
• B. All alarms regardless of type
• C. No alarms trigger patrols
• D. Permatrax alarms, Microwave alarms, BMS alarms, Duress alarms, Motion alarms, Tamper alarms and Comm Failures

Answer: (D)

Dispatching patrols hinges on events that signal a potential security risk or a system fault that needs on-site verification. The list of alarms that trigger a patrol covers intrusions and boundary issues (Permatrax alarms), movement detections inside secure areas (Microwave alarms and Motion alarms), actions indicating deliberate interference or distress (Duress alarms and Tamper alarms), system-level concerns (BMS alarms), and communication problems that could mask or prevent alerts (Comm Failures). Because each of these conditions could represent a real threat or a need for immediate on-site checking, they are all included as triggers for patrol response. This aligns with a policy to send patrols whenever such alarms fire, rather than to every possible alarm type or to none.
