Our Patrol Units will respond to alarm activations, during closed periods, meaning there is no risk to employees of intruder confrontation, next day fatigue, key holders committing drink driving offences and in addition conforms to your health and safety requirements. Our patrol units are carefully trained to liaise with the Police, alarm companies and repair contractors to secure your premises as soon as possible. CAPS Security Ltd. provide a safe and reliable keyholding service that works hand in hand with the alarm monitoring service. Therefore our patrol units can gain access to your property and deal with situations immediately. We have a short initial meeting with you discussing the layout of your premises and alarm system. We then agree on instructions relating to entry procedures, for the use of our attending Patrol Unit. The relevant keys are collected and a receipt is given. Your keys are coded and sealed within our secure control room. The seal will only be broken when we attend your premises due to an alarm activation.
If we think the activation was caused due to a serious nature, we inform you or your nominated emergency contact by telephone to gain further instructions. We then, if required, arrange attendance of the Police or repair companies to ensure that your premises are left fully secure.
- Potential risk to you or your staff and the consequent liability is eliminated with our prompt and efficient response.
- We instigate appropriate action as and when required, generally looking after your interests, relieving you of the worry while you are away from your property.
- Our Patrol Units are there within the hour ensuring minimum delay.

Each keyholder must have a telephone and a means of transport at all times and must be capable of responding quickly to an attendance request, day or night. Should you not comply with their requirements, the Police may withdraw response to your premises.
