Why 24/7 Alarm Response & Key Holding Matters
At 2:45am, one of our Leeds clients had their alarm triggered. Our officers arrived within minutes, scared off an intruder, and the business opened as normal the next morning — no damage, no disruption.

That’s why businesses across Leeds, Bradford, Dewsbury, Wakefield, and West Yorkshire rely on professional alarm response. It removes the danger, the stress, and the responsibility. Trained, SIA-licensed officers handle every callout so you don’t have to.
