Keyholding Services

According to the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), the primary key holder to a property should be able to respond within 20 minutes when an intruder alarm is activated.

Currently, police only attend an alarm activation once it has been ‘confirmed’ – that is to say that the alarm must be activated in multiple zones in sequence, or an eyewitness must be able to confirm that police presence is required.

While this protocol allows the police to confirm the necessity of their attendance, it requires the Alarm Receiving Centre to receive and make two separate notifications of an alarm being triggered – notifying the key holder upon the first activation, and the police on the second.

What is Keyholding?

Keyholding is a specialist security service where a contracted security firm holds a set of keys to your commercial premises — in a secure, off-site location — to be used in the event of a security breach.

Our operatives are trained in keyholding security services and we have Approved Contractor Status (ACS) for our keyholding services. Check out our article on the benefits of Keyholding here.

Along with our key holding services, we can provide cctv monitoring and mobile security patrols for business and events.
