When the bad guys see you have Protected by Reed Security warning decals and a yard sign, they know to stay away. Reed Security's 110 decibel siren serves as an added deterrent and limits potential losses.
After our
24/7 Rapid Response Monitoring Stations receive alarm signals the next step is to dispatch the proper authorities. When we receive Fire, Carbon Monoxide or Medical alarm signals, we contact the nearest Fire Department. When we receive Supervisory signals such as Low Temperature or Flooding, we contact you and your key-holders.
It is very important to Reed Security that our clients receive the best possible combination of 24/7 Monitoring, Response Time, Price, Quality and Professionalism. Here are your options:
1. Police Response
This option is best suited for the majority of our Saskatoon clients. Saskatoon has a false alarm bylaw (7604) and the cost of responding to alarms has been passed along to the users - per location. Regina, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert and other cities may have their own bylaws and fees vary by the city.
| Annual Registration |
$35.00 per location if paid within 10 days |
| First Two False Dispatches |
No fine. |
| 3rd or More False Dispatches |
$125.00 each |
| Estimated Response Time |
30 seconds to 30 minutes |
| How to Register |
Contact Reed Security |
2. RCMP, Corman Park Police, and other Rural Police
This option is for rural clients. There are currently no fines for INTRUSION signal false alarms however there may be fines for FIRE signal false alarms. Dispatching firefighters is costly and any charges are passed directly onto the client. This is the same for all alarm companies.
3. Commissionaires Response
This option is best suited for clients that have a number of false alarms or would like to arrange special dispatch instructions. Reed Security must receive a Proof of Registration in order to update your dispatch information. If there is an actual break in, the Police are contacted by The Commissionaires (but this is not a response to an alarm system and response times will be the same as if you called the Police yourself).
| Annual Registration |
$25.00 per location + one time $35.00 lockbox rental |
| Each Dispatch |
$20.00 |
| Estimated Response Time |
30 seconds to 30 minutes |
| How to Register |
Call The Commissionaires 306.244.6588 |
| Note |
Police are dispatched with PANIC/HOLD UP signals. $125.00 fine if false. |
4. No Response, Keyholders Only
Reed Security doesn’t endorse this option as we cannot dispatch The Police or The Commissionaires. You will have to call the authorities on your own in case of an emergency.
| Estimated Response Time |
Up to 2 hours wait or longer |
| Note |
We will not dispatch. We can only notify your key-holders. |
We're flexible. If any of our dispatch options do not meet your needs, we can customize a response and place special dispatch notes on your account.
