What is a private first responder? Who will be responding to my residence/business?
A private first responder is a security service or guard company contracted by your selected alarm company to respond to your burglar alarm activation. The alarm company that you select should be able to tell you the name, location and phone number of the private first responder service that will be responding to your alarmed premise. As public safety is most important, citizens should not respond to an activated burglar alarm until after the first responder service has determined the alarm to be false, or in the case of a verified burglar alarm, stand by in a safe location until the police secure the scene.
